It's not as simple as that. There are certain aspects of the libertarian movement I can subscribe to. Such as civil liberties being untouchable and holy. There are others, I certainly don't subscribe to, such as leaving business to run totally unchecked.
On the whole, if presented with the choice between conservatives or libertarians, I'd vote libertarian any time. For the simple reason that conservatives usually take the bad parts of libertarianism and leave the good parts out of the equation.
Would you look at that.
Another thing we agree on.
