I didn't say that they thought themselves like the Libertarian party. I said they thought of themselves as classical libertarians.

That has nothing to do with pot or abortion.

You don't seem to make a distinction, but you always were a little slow on the uptake.

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is." -- Ronald Reagan, 1975, Reason Magazine.
