I guess I fail to see how an ideology that espouses personal freedom and personal sovereignty could reconcile itself and become "one," however bastardized the splice, with an ideology that espouses groupthink and groupcontrol and "public" property (aka, taxes), as liberalism does. I'm of the opinion it's quite impossible to be a liberal and a libertarian at the same time, as it's impossible to be pregnant and not pregnant at the same time.

Take the individual ideas expressed as compared to the whole ideology. It is very possible to be both pro-choice and anti-tax. Focusing on the pro-choice part over the anti-tax when picking a candidate would be a liberal-liberatarian.
