"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

Great quote! I remember that. He used it more than once. How fitting. . . .

  Really?  Hey, reagan_man, I used to agree
  with you on a lot of things.  Now can you
  see how far out in the weeds you are getting
  as regards libertarians?  Just asking.
