Liberals are generally compassionate towards the poor and suffering and less able among us, and acknowledge some debt as humans to help them, even though sometimes the help is not really always helpful, as in the awful dependency created by the welfare state. They also often have a concern for ecological issues, and are willing to make sacrifices to not pollute the environment.

Libertarians are an every-man-for-himself bunch, not surprisingly comprised of the most able (and greedy) people in the general populace. They are also gung-ho industrialists and rapists of the land and the waters of earth.

The only commonality I see is that on issues of personal freedom, like drug usage, there is some agreement between the two groups. On other issues of personal freedom, like handguns, there is no agreement at all.
