Yes I know the message I quoted was not to me. I was attempting to figure out what exactly you are. You can not claim to be a liberal and a libertarian at the same time. They are two completely different belief sets.

If you do in fact stand for more personal freedom, less governmental intervention in some things. And more states rights, then you are most definitely not a liberal. That would make you a blue dog democrat. Or maybe a libertarian. But not a liberal.
