[Aristotelian]

The momentum of technology is ushering in a libertarian society. Eventually, the individuals who make up this new society will come into conflict with the coercion that is the hallmark of statism. This suggests that libertarian conservatism will overtake progressive liberalism as the political philosophy of choice.

I find this an attractive scenario as long as the destructive forms that libertarianism (Classical Liberalism) can take are managed through Christian ethics and faith.

I agree ... if you're talking about the small "l" libertarianism of the Founders / Framers

“This suggests that libertarian conservatism will overtake progressive liberalism as the political philosophy of choice.”

More than likely. Not entirely a good thing in my view, but I think it’s where things are headed in the long term.

(And before I get myself into an unwanted debate with the various FR libertarians, let’s just say that I find the more libertine aspects of the philosophy to be problematic.)

I hope you are right.

Most conservatives are of the big-gov’t school of thought. Instead of a liberal coercive gov’t they want a conservative coercive gov’t.

Freedom is hard. It requires setting up realistic boundaries between individuals and giving up the desire to control others or take something from someone else. Few people these days have a vision for liberty.
