yeah... i guess we should sorta clarify the terminology for the non-political science types out there. i'll try & put this fairly simply.
Economic Left: You want the government to have a great deal of involvement in the state economy, in terms of regulation, etc.
Economic Right: You want the government to take a very 'hands-off' (laissez-faire was the term used by Adam Smith in Wealth of Nations) approach to corporate regulation, etc.
Social Libertarian: You want the government to mind its own business as much as possible. Given that the word Liberty can be found in the ideological viewpoint, one could naturally conclude that they promote maximal freedoms for all.
Social Conservative: You want the government to place restrictions on what is and is not socially acceptable, even if it means people aren't 100% to do whatever the hell they please.
