If you still need a label to define yourself, you're not very far down the road. Jhikpghf

Having political leanings is juvenile. You'll grow out of it son!

I myself used to be a commie in my youth, but I quit when I figured out there wasn't going to be a bloody revolution anytime soon.

Labels can be useful.

But it'd be better if OP defines what OP means by progressive Libertarian.

I've used the phrases:

FDR republican

Quasi-Larouchie quasi-libertarian dirigiste.

They both create an impression regarding policy

Enough to differentiate from "Liberty Movement."

And other things.

So you have no concern or ideas regarding policy now. Just "f*ck it,"

repeal of the patriot act is my favorite, and the only real issue i have is:

Support the right of free persons to associate or not associate in labor unions, and that an employer has the right to recognize or refuse to recognize a union. We oppose government interference in labor organizing and bargaining. We do not condone violence used on behalf of businesses or labor to prevent others from working and expressing themselves.

I think that if the employees vote to have a union, an employer should have to recognize the union.

but that is really the only issue I have, not a big deal

The older and wiser I get, the closer I get to the blessed state of not giving a f*ck about such things, yes.

I read over the platform, not bad, but there are things I am still iffy on. I guess I am more of a right-leaning libertarian. Throw tomatoes at me at will now.

A person doesn't have to define themselves, to be certain.
That wouldn't be a good thing if they didn't know who they are.
Or if they weren't allowed to know who they are.
But, until we get rid of all labels,
then this one here, a Progressive Libertarian, seems like a good label.
Reading through that link, its seems like it would be a good genre of people that could eventually work on removing less of the labels that keep us living in these little boxes. I think its very positive.
