Perhaps I view it too simply. It's root, obviously, lies with liberty. Therefore, freedom and liberty in the marketplace from government control or intervention (economic freedom, more associated with conservative), and freedom and liberty in your personal business (social freedom, more associated with liberals (well, okay, most rational people)). And of course, if things are mostly free to happen as they may, you do not need a large federal government to enforce restrictions, therefore lower taxes etc etc. That of course, pure conservative. So it's something of a blend of conservative/liberal thinking, but that's what makes it its own special category. Limiting your options to liberal/conservative is a bit needlessly restrictive, only serving to narrow very broad concepts down to either/or statements that fuel stupid arguments on the internet.

Feel free to totally blow my mind. I apologise if I got something wrong, but I am, like, totally sleepbaked at the moment.
