Avoid labels.

I think libertarians are conservatives that go to far. Whenever you hear a libertarian they are always spouting legalized drugs.

The libertatian seems to want an anarchy form of government. An everyman for himself wild west mentality. I think we need some form of government(small) to keep society running and to address disputes. Courts are better than gun fights. Some things government does well, roads, defense, and rule of law, not man.

Note how the libs want you to think all their beloved *-isms are far right. Nazi, a contraction for National Socialist Party. Dictatorships, the last rung on the far left, when all the other *-isms fail.

I see myself as a conservative, free markets and free software. Choose your business model and make money where you can/want, within the laws.

Avoid labels.

Nice idea but I don't think you can. For example, I consider myself to be neither a conservative nor a liberal but in some situations I may be labelled (or is it libelled) as one or the other. If I'm asked to label myself I prefer the label: constitutionalist. The U.S. Constitution is more important to me than whatever issues are the political fads of the day. Also, I've sworn an oath to uphold the principles of the Constitution. I still do not like labels but I am not unhappy to be called a constitutionalist.
