>>Is he a conservative...or a libertarian?<<

He is a conservative in the libertarian way, kinda like me. :)

I was discussing with a couple of friends the difference between the labels “conservative” and “libertarian”. I think the former is just a label that depends on context while the latter much more stands on its own.

Libertarian has a fairly narrow meaning, while words like “liberal” and “conservative” depend on the environment in which they are being used.

A conservative in Kentucky, USA has quite a bit different political viewpoints than a conservative in Moscow, Russia. Libertarians from either place would probably hold pretty similar viewpoints.

Some supposedly on the right are trying to destroy him too, seems he is on to something. The GOP establishment and the lefty establishment don’t want their piggy bank taken away.

Reigning in the Federal Govt is the issue of our time, and yes it trumps terrorism. There won’t be anything left for anyone to attack.

Maybe. I've read some of the position stuff from UK "Libertarians". They sound more like Seattle Socialist/Anarchists than anything. "Property is theft" and all that crap. They really took a wrong turn somewhere in the philosophy.

When it comes to political parties, exceptions to the rule appears to be a rule in and of itself.
