Homeless Libertarians

On some level, I've always been a libertarian, although never always articulate about it. In the liberal enclaves where I reside, libertarian's don't get taken too seriously - they are generally dismissed as Ayn Randian selfish assholes.

I rather like this idea of libertarians, though:

"Libertarian methods are often the best way to achieve righteous progressive goals" -- a position I agree with, but which has little or no chance of finding support among today's progressives.

I firmly believe this. But I also believe if push came to shove and it became a choice between liberty and equality, I'd choose liberty...which differentiates me from most Democrats and Liberals. It is rare, however, that this would ever come up.
