If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories.

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

If you’re talking about them as basic concepts you could maybe make that connection, but I’m talking about them as the movements are defined today. Libertarianism is a lot closer to the left-wing than it is to the right-wing. It combines Dennis Kucinich’s views on the military with La Raza’s views on immigration, the radical feminist movement and the radical homosexual movement. The dismantling of government that libertarians want goes far beyond what conservatives would want, mainly because it goes far beyond what would even be necessary for a society to function and for America to remain a credible power on the world stage.

wrong

the basis of conservatism is Judeo/Christian morality

something Libertarianism lacks

legal dope
legal prostitution
legal heroin
abandon Israel
lower the age of consent for homo sex between men and boys

just what part of that is the basis of Conservatism??

that is nothing more than anarchist Democrats, posing as supply side economists
