What would you call a Muslim who liked our economics?

Depends on his politics, a libertarian is by definition a liberal on social issues and the border, even on defense.

"a libertarian is by definition a liberal on social issues and the border, even on defense."

That's not true, not "by definition".

Ron Paul is pro-life, as one example. As more, I am not in favor of an open border, and believe immigration laws should be enforced, and also believe in a strong defense.

You’re describing Liberalism.

Quote a dictionary if you don’t agree.

So the libertarian absolutist position on the right to keep and bear arms is ‘liberal?’

I learn something new every day.

There you go with the stupidity again. How is the libertarian position on "everyone armed" and "privateer militias" "liberal" in any way or form?

Freedom isn't the dirty word you are trying to make it out to be. Not the Socialists "freedom", which is the freedom from having to take responsibility for your life... But real freedom to succeed or fail on your own merits.

Not sure why you work so hard against that basic ideal...
