LOL, of course libertarians oppose conservatism, it is why they are not conservatives but instead are “libertarians”

So on your planet "to oppose" means "not to agree about absolutely everything"?

Seriously, have you read the article?

Yes. Neither millenials nor pollsters define conservatism or libertarianaism.

And why on a conservative site, would someone try to claim that only a “half dozen” “clever agent provocateurs... “ would be opposing libertarians here?

Again, that "opposing" is only according to your planet's definition. Sane conservatives and sane libertarians can and should make common cause on those many issues where they agree - despite the shrieking and waste-flinging of their respective lunatic fringes.

Libertarians do oppose conservatives on issues, that is why the article is talking about liberal millenials being libertarian, and not conservative and why libertarians don’t merely call themselves conservatives.

Just like Rand Paul and his opposition to conservatism.

RAND PAUL:
“”Evolve, adapt or die. That is the fate of our current Republican party. We must evolve as a party and find a way to attract millennials to the conservative movement or we will never succeed in realizing our ideals of individual freedom and freedom from government interference.””

“I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”
