Now you guys have done it. The wrath of the anti-libertarians is going to come down on you.

Excuse me while I go fix popcorn and wait for the fireworks. :)

"Libertarianism is the heart of conservativism."

Bahh!! I thought it went something like this:

"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

Even if he did say that Libertarianism is the heart of conservatism, I'm sure you'd agree that the late great Ronald Wilson Reagan wouldn't advocate legalizing illicit drugs, allowing homosexuals to debauch marriage, or other such nonsense. Those are some things that the current Libertarian nominee has in his platform.
