I always see people classified as either Conservative or Liberal...

Are people really so inflexible that you get placed inside a "box" with a fixed "label"?

What I mean is, are you saying that there is no one who may be so called "Liberal" but agree with certain conservative ideas and is there no one "Conservative" who agrees with certain liberal ideas?

And if there are such people, are you really ok with simply being placed inside a particularly labelled box?

You do realize you sort of described a Libertarian?

I identify more as an Independent that leans Conservative/Libertarian now.

It matters most if when you do your taxes and check that box to give $1 to your political party more then anything else I think.

@OKWTF2 Please explain how exactly I described a libertarian if my post is more about not simply labeling someone based on one or two beliefs that person may have?

And you as an Independent, how do you feel when you get labelled Conserv/Lib based on maybe agreeing to simply one or two ideas of either party, instead of simply staying "Independent"?
