“I’d say that most all libertarians are conservative (in the real sense of the word, at least)!”

No they’re not. Conservatism as an explicit tradition of political thought began in Britain in direct opposition to classical liberalism.

The conservative tradition is not something worth your labors. Toss the rotten thing out.
