Libertarianism is compatible the Constitution. The currently practice form of conservatism is not. Read the Tenth Amendment. Recognize that in spite of such things as the earlier Harrison Act it was considered necessary to pass a constitutional amendment --- not just a friggin Federal Law -- to outlaw booze on a federal level.

Libertarian philosophy or ideology is but the Libertarian Party is full of crap AFAIC. Conservative philosophy seems to be compatible with the Constitution until it interferes with some personal agenda. Usually money making and quite often perceived insecurity. I can identify more with the Constitution Party but even they hold to some personal agendas that would trump the Constitution.

The more I learn and contemplate the Constitution and the intent of the founders the less need I see to modify it. Even slavery could have been ended and women allowed to vote without an amendment simply by honestly interpreting it and honestly facing the fact that 'all men' means all men and that 'men', as intended and written in the Constitution, means human beings.
