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…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
Just sayin’… we may have disparate views within the conservative movement on a number of issues, but like Grover Norquist stated at CPAC (I paraphrase a tad) “At the heart of it we all just want to be left alone”… Then he mentions guns, God, family, education etc etc issues that draw people into the conservative/libertarian tent.
