@above, that's not the results, that's an example. You need to scroll down for what you're results actually are.

The definition of Libertarianism is not what you think it is. Libertarianism is the belief in pure personal freedom of expression and action within (quite liberal) reason. Libertarians tend to be associated with pro individualism/pro personal freedom combined with socially liberal beliefs such as pro-choice, pro-euthanasia, anti-capital punishment, anti-war-on-drugs and secularism. Ron Paul is not a classic Left-Libertarian. He is a combination of Christian-Right social policies, 1920s Republican economic policies (no taxes, no government spending, businesses rule), blind patriotism and absolute non-interference (no National Health, no state benefits, lax surveillance, non-interventionist foreign policy).

To outline the Political Compass Spectrum - the further left you are, the more economically Communist and socially liberal you are. The further right you are, the more economically fascist and socially conservative. The further up you are, the more you impose your social beliefs on your country (Authoritarianism). The further down you are, the more you advocate freedom of expression (the core and only consistent Libertarian principle).

One hopes that clears things up a bit.
