I understand that it would be easier for you if that were the case, but it's not true.
"I believe that the very heart and soul of Conservatism is libertarianism", Ronald Reagan
Barry Goldwater was a libertarian Conservative and he literally wrote the book on what it means to be a Conservative.
Making up your own terms and phrases does not change the Libertarian party platform and the laughable fact that they only have 226,000 registered members
That Reagan quote is from 1975 when the still tiny libertarian party was just starting, in fact I attended my first meeting that year. He also separated himself from the libertarians three sentences later so don’t confuse people with that quote by a Republican leader.
Ronald Reagan 1975:
“Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy.”
To think that he would be embracing all this 35 years later is ridiculous.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political borders”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising drugs, prostitution, pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
