I have a funny feeling the only thing that would have hurt feelings more than 'calling a self proclaimed libertarian a fascist' is calling a self proclaimed libertarian a socialist. This is why I asked the offended one to relocate himself on the spectrum. To date, he has not. I guess now I now where libertarianism is: nirvana. Or as Neil Young said, "Everybody knows this is nowhere." I had no idea he was singing about libertarians.
Some of the posts in this thread have totally called for an internal re-evaluation of myself. I've pretty much thought I was a libertarian by default, more so because my views lie all over the "spectrum" on an issue dependent basis, and would not neatly fit into our ideological definitions of "Republican", conservative, liberal or "Democrat". But now I'm not sure if I would even be a libertarian.
