The dictionary defines a libertarian as follows:

1 : an advocate of the doctrine of free will
2 a : a person who upholds the principles of absolute and unrestricted liberty especially of thought and action

By this definition, I guess I am one. However, I am also a liberal in some matters and a conservative in others and I think that applies to most people. It seems that to become too much of any single philosophy is to become a fanatic with a permanently closed mind. All mental activity should be a process of growth and I think that strongly-held doctrines tend to be limiting. This, of course, would appear to be compatible with #2.
