I friend of mine, Jeffrey Thayne referred to himself as a "recovering libertarian". It is the closest I have found to concisely and accurately describe my political views.
By recovering libertarian, I mean that I still have a strong, nearly overriding preference for libertarian solutions as a matter of values -- freedom is still one of my core values. But I am less persuaded as I used to by the underlying logic used by many libertarians, so I find myself willing to compromise in some ways when politically necessary.
