I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
I wrote a post here not too long ago on a political survey by the Pew Research Institute. David Boaz of the Cato Institute seems to agree with me.

I wouldn't call 'Young Outsiders' libertarian. Look at a college campus. It's filled with these 'outsiders.' Although they are fiscally conservative and socially liberal, they're not libertarians.
A Young Outsider dislikes government, but wants government to provide social programs and enforce social justice by law. I don't think many libertarians share that perspective.
Smoking bans. Gun control. Obamacare. These are issues Young Outsiders support.
I might agree with you, although as this writer from a Reason/Rupe poll kinda points out, it's hard to say just where they stand. A puddle of mush, if you will:
