>Libertarians are for less government. That is typically a very rightwing mentality

Sort of... A right-wing libertarian wants the government out of his hair on social issues such as taxes and guns... a left-wing one is looking for the government's laxity on moral issues such as sex and drugs.

Hmmm. That doesn't make too much sense. Libertarians are for less government. That is typically a very rightwing mentality.

So are liberals. For an example, I am very much against more gov't in defense.

"That is typically a very rightwing mentality."

Not exactly. On that test, my leftish tendencies are because I see government as a counterweight to big business. Other than that, I am pretty solidly, although not purely, in the libertarian camp.
