I agree with some of that, but I have a few caveats.

Many libertarians cannot understand the concept that liberty is NOT license, and that there can be no liberty in societies of chaos.

I would also say that conservative and liberal mean what they mean…TODAY. What they used to mean, what ‘classical liberal’ used to mean, is really just a point of interest. It is what it is now. That horse done left the barn.

But as a conservative, I consider myself in agreement with about 80% of libertarianism. But a lot of libertarian claimers, including Rand Paul and Neil Boortz, are NOT libertarian at all in many ways. Same with a lot of young paul bots.

That was a direct quote from Ronald Reagan.
