Cheers to your comment. I am always encouraged by people making the distinction between libertarian ideas and the philosophy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, which is the foundation of Conservative philosophy. There is no comparison in how it guides a person’s thinking compared to other inferior schemes. Much more reasoned approach than the emotional inanities of libertarianism or any number of other isms. Reaganism is of course a good modern example of Conservatism. But I’m sure you are fully versed, so have a nice day.. on the rest of this Communist holiday.

That is a myth. The founders were closer to Libertarian ideas than Conservative ones. Libertarians are classical liberals, as the founders were. They were not conservatives. Labels have morphed, and the libertarian principles have been diluted and warped some over time but that is a fact.
