I'm a mix between libertarian and conservative, though I lean towards the former more than the latter. I agree with the libertarian stance on property rights and economic freedom, but I disagree with their stance on legalizing prostitution and gay marriage. Lately, I've been dissociating myself from conservatism due to all the warmongering that is so typical of mainstream conservatives.
Definitions:
Anarchist: Believes that all government is bad and should be abolished.
Libertarian: Believes in full economic freedom and social freedom so long as property rights are not violated.
Centrist: A mix of everything.
Conservative: Believes in economic freedom more than social freedom.
Liberal: Believes in social freedom more than economic freedom.
Statist: Does not believe in any sort of freedom.

Ignoring actual politics and politicians, I'm stuck somewhere in the middle, leaning towards conservative. I don't support gay marriage, nor do I support excessive taxpayer $ handouts in the form of welfare, except where it is truly necessary. At the same time, I support things like public healthcare insurance, simply because it's a more efficient system than a privately funded one.

I'm currently liberal but I'll probably be more conservative when I'm older.

Liberals/US Democrats are generally for gay marriage.

Most libertarians and some centrists would also be for gay marriage.

I don't really think about it because they all pretty much suck and we're screwed either way.

While we certainly enjoy our guns; libertarians also appreciate all of our other rights.

I think that would make you a libertarian.

Last time I checked I was libertarian in most aspects, with the exception being a conservative stance on economics.
Could have changed by now though and I'm too lazy to check atm. :lol:

I'm mostly familiar with Democrats and Republicans @ .@
and for that matter, I'd lean more torwards the Democrat side.

Those are political parties, not ideologies. xP But that would probably make you liberal.
