As a former member of the YAF (early 1970’s), I can say, without question, that you are 100% wrong about them.
We had (maybe) a dozen members at my college campus and we fought hard for CONSERVATIVE principles during a time when the other ‘students’ were waving Communist flags and worshiping Hanoi Jane.
What were you doing at that time?
Whatever your supposed credentials are, they're tagging their figurehead, Buckley, as a "conservative libertarian."
I'm sorry but that's absurd. I don't care who you are.
