I am a registered small-L libertarian, meaning I actually support some very liberal ideas as well as some very conservative ideas.

You're not a Libertarian, because Libertarians don't support liberal ideas.

Please don't jump on this guy so fast. Some liberals defend freedom of speech, and assembly, and the 4th 5th and 6th Amendments. In fact, the ultra-liberal ACLU has defended these (although selectively and imperfectly) for years.

agooga, what liberal ideas do you think you support?

You would have to admit that legalizing marijuana tends to be an issue the left supports, not the right. Also, libertarians disagree with the holding of certain citizens without due process in the name of the war on terrorism. The difference is that libertarians can explain why they support or disapprove of these issues while liberals just "feel" certain ways.

I believe in ending the war on drugs and that could be construed as a "liberal" idea- therefore for lack of a better word, I share some liberal ideology with those on the left.
