    It means you're a liberal (or "libertarian", maybe). You have liberal social attitudes/values and probably support classical liberal or neo-liberal economics, since that's almost always what people mean by that. Unfortunately this is a point that is frequently misunderstood or deliberately obscured in the US because of a bias against actual anti-liberal viewpoints.

    Labels aren't going to be perfect, but the closet one would mean you are a libertarian, which stresses economic freedom (typical of conservatism) and social freedom (typical of liberalism).

    I have no clue. I don't fit any political "label". I have to call myself Republican because I am definitely not a Democrat - I am conservative for the most part, but strongly endorse the death penalty, and venomously endorse pro choice. If whatever issue does not ultimately cost taxpayers MORE money, or create a bigger strain on society, I'm all for it.
    Build a "great wall" all along the top of mexico using prisoners as free labor, make it illegal for teens to reproduce, and require drug and alcohol testing for long time welfare rats.

    Economically Conservative + Socially Liberal = Libertarian

    Not always. There are libertarians out there that believe in very socially conservative or even far right ideas. There's tons of libertarian fundamentalists, libertarian racists, libertarian monarchists, etc.

    It means they share similiar views with cons on economic policies but share similiar views with libs on social issues.
