I generally call myself a "liberal with libertarian leanings."
Similarly, I could probably best be described as "conservative with libertarian leanings", but only in the traditional sense of "conservative", not the modern one. Socially I'm to the left of most Democrats; economically, I'm to the right of most Republicans. Unfortunately, I don't trust extremism in politics, and I find the Libertarian Party to mostly be loons.
Half the time I think this is a terribly lonely place to be. The other half, I suspect that most of the country is closer to where I'm standing than to either of the Big Name Parties...
