I am also a libertarian in general. I won't adhere to the party because I may disagree with them on some issues. However, I am registered as a republican so I can vote in the primaries. In addition, the Libertarian party is incredibly unorganized in my state and stands no chance of being a third party alternative.
If the Libertarian Party wants to come on the national level as a serious competitor to the 2 party system, I would recommend dropping the open border policy. Libertarians are special because their social liberalism is more of a "live-and-let-live" brand of liberalism, not the collectivist/facist brand that Democrats peddle. However, the open border stance is where I, and many other small 'l' libertarians break with the party. The majority of Americans, including many legal hispanics, want secure borders. The idea of letting illegals flood into the country goes completely against the libertarian principles of responsibility and self-reliance. The whole reason we have an illegal immigration problem to begin with is the welfare state. It is an outgrowth of America's parasite-enabling economic policies. The LP has to come to terms with this if it wants to be a serious contender.

Hm, didn't see that before. What if I identify with libertarian principles but not the Libertarian Party?
I guess I would be closest to the people at the Mises institute.
I don't like that term. Economics is a value-free, there is nothing 'libertarian' about 'Austrian' economics; it's just valid economic science.That would make you an "Austro-libertarian".
I operate according to an ethos and I recognize some kinds of virtu (efficacy) but I don't actually believe there are objective categories of right or wrong.Do you have an ethical system?
Well, there are things that are true or false, but 'morality' is sociobiology, not philosophy.In any sense at all, or just in normative terms?
