A conservative desires to conserve the ideals that form the bedrock of our society and which are prerequisite to our freedom.

A libertarian wants small government - good - but fails to consider of the connection between basic core beliefs, such as those held in common by the founders (Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Catholic, Deist, etc.) and the viability of the society built thereupon.

I'm not certain how anarchists are a part of this discussion, but I suppose one could make a case that anarchy is the most extreme form of libertarianism.

Thank you.

“A libertarian wants small government - good - but fails to consider of the connection between basic core beliefs, such as those held in common by the founders (Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Catholic, Deist, etc.) and the viability of the society built thereupon. “

I don’t think that’s true. It reads like and assertion, a straw man. Probably the most famous Libertarian today is Beck and he’s led a revival in concern for our founding principles.
