I said: A significant number of self-styled conservatives see "personal liberty" as the highest good

To which you replied: Well, duh -- that's the definition of being a conservative (instead of a big-government liberal).

Only in a losertarian's wet-dream. For the rest of us, definitions depend on popular usage. "Conservative" in that sense means "favoring or desiring to conserve that which is traditional"--like families and common decency, ideas alien to your faction.

Wow -- you lurk here?

Tell me: do you get ticked off at names like "Billzebubba", or do you just laugh it off? Are you still bitter over the impeachment thing? Have you talked to Hillary about plans for 2008? Inquiring minds want to know!
