I'm aware of this...but the definition of "conservative" can differ depending who you talk to. To me, libertarian actually means the same thing as conservative - I use that term to distinguish myself from neo-conservatives and social conservatives. To me, conservatism is about small government.
"libertarians" are laughable, no where on the political radar and quickly becoming a joke.
I use Ronald Reagan to define modern Conservativism. He hated abortion and intensified the drug war more than any other president. He was not a libertarian.
