I never understood why libertarians insisted on identifying as "conservative." Pro abortion. Open borders. Vending machine narcotics.
They're as far from conservative as can be and are an insult to FR.

They are conservative in the sense of being for small government. Conservativism isn't limited to Evangelical Protestantism.

“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.”-— Ronald Reagan
