I would hardly call Libertarians very conservative. While the free market
position could
lead one to think that ... the general approach of us being able to do our
own thing
as long as we don't interfere with others exercising that same freedom is a
long way
away from the ultra conservative approach. They want to control our every
action
and make our moral judgements for us. The Libertarians I know .. like me ..
believe
in maximum liberty and minimum government to the extent that it's practical.
The problem
with the Republicrats is one wants to control our bank account and one wants
to
control our bedroom. With Libertarians .. at this point .. having little
practical political
power we're forced to choose between the extreme right or the extreme left.

The Hoover Institute is the leading libertarian think tank in America and
it
is very conservative. In fact, outside the Hoover Institute libertarians
have had little power in the US since FDR's Presidency began.
Libertarians
inside the Republican Party were responsible for the "balanced budget" we
had a few years ago.

So now you have 'conservatives' running around talking about
property
rights
and states' rights
Republicans have always supported States' rights, as that is the basis
of a
republic.
(originally created to protect slavery)
Democrats wanted the 3/5 law and Republicans were not willing to go to
war
over it and as long as libertarins could control the purse everyone
was
willing to leave things be for a while.
and protecting
large corporations while espousing populist principles.
The libertarian wing (once Federalists) of the Republican Party
insistthey
address the issues of fiscal responsibility and a small central
government,
but libertarians are out of favor now due to their isolationist
tendancies.
And you have the
'liberals' running around trying to limit free speech and press,
disarming
the public, and supporting the worst thugs and despots imaginable in
other
countries in the name of 'diversity' and 'tolerance.'
Racism has always been the Democrats' product.
