Libertarian, Liberal, Conservative or Statist?

Acceptable to who? Most people like the strong government view when the government is giving them goodies taken by force from other people (tax-subsidized housing, schooling, food, etc.). But then they wish the government had less power when it's taking things from them by force (taxes) or telling them what to do when it's really nobody else's business.
Both liberals nor conservatives want the government to be able to control your life. They just differ on what it should force you to do.
Libertarians believe you should be able to whatever you want as long as it initiate force or fraud on others, and that you should bear the consequences of your own actions. I don't feel the need to tell others what to do as long as they're leaving me alone and don't want to force me to bail them out when they make bad decisions, so I think the libertarian view is best.

Most acceptable will mean the political view that acquiesces to the most votes at a given time, which may change from time to time. So if you refer to AMERICA and NOW it is clearly more liberal, just by virtue of the majority in senate and congress; YET if you refer to the universe as a whole, ie. global, it will probably hinge on tribalism/religion and less on how we as Americans view the world.

The most acceptable political view is one that decides issues not based upon party lines but on the individual circumstances and takes into consideration all points of view.

I like the definition of "liberal", and what they stand for.
1. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
2. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
3. Tending to give freely; generous: a liberal benefactor.

What a bunch of pathetic answers here.
The most acceptable political view is DEMOCRACY. Where people can live in freedom and can determine the objectives of thier politicians.
Democracy should not be combined with any religion, it is what guides people in society and economy.
Long live Democracy.

One you have researched and made up your own mind about!
You can't put 200 million people in those 4 categories, and it is absurd to even try! That isn't they way people think generally!
