Actually if you read that 1975 libertarian interview that you want to pretend is something important, as lonely as it it in his long life of politics, Reagan while wanting to keep his audience, still disagrees with them about what we do here at FR as well, social liberalism and being weak on national defense.

Is that a vote for not wanting to figure out exactly what he meant by "libertarianism", and use that definition?

I’m not mystified or trying to mislead people like you by continually connecting the words “Reagan” and “Libertarian”, so I already know why he was a conservative and not a libertarian.

Reagan had little to say about them, that is why he wasn’t one of them.
