Ever wonder what it means when someone 'classifies' your post as "Libertarian"?

I apologize in advance, should it turn out that this has been posted before. I 'searched' and found no equivalent.

Occasionally, discover that one aspect or another of something I said, fit's into other members' idea of what it means to 'be' a Libertarian.

Personally, I never want to be associated with any particular group for a simple reason; 'groups' of adherents to political ideology must acquiesce to the notion of accepting that group's particular collection of 'ideological principles' as a whole. Not having been indoctrinated into whatever that group believes can lead to unpleasant surprises. I avoid that possibility by recusing myself of belonging to any group more specific than human, in principle, and an American citizen, as a matter of practicality.

If any out there where ever interested in discovering the "Libertarian" flavor or patriotism, I offer this find; it is a collection of what among a large group (apparently) is considered the top 100 Libertarian blogs and websites...
