Silly. Once can be both libertarian and conservative.

False. Just. False.

Conservatives embrace social and moral values and traits that libs deny and denounce.

You cannot be a libertarian and a conservative.

Read what I said. Nothing stops a libertarian from embracing the same moral values.

True, but conservatives also recognize that you cannot instill social and moral values in people through government force.

Depends on the libertarian. The major difference between a libertarian and a social conservative is not that the former rejects moral values, but that he doesn't think that ALL moral values should be enforced by the legal system.

Much like being against the Leftist viewpoint that being against government welfare programs means you want the poor to die.
