Oh, forgive me then, Vince. Thanks for the correction. So rather than actually defeating you in debate, Burbank simply makes you look like a flaming retard on every occasion that he posts to you, about you, or every time he tacks additional quotes of yours to his list. Clearly you have him backed into a corner.

And there you seem to have the idea of political parties and political ideologies confused again. I suppose if you want to say that not all Libertarians are conservative, then I can say that not all Republicans are conservative either. However, it doesn't change the fact that the Libertarian political party as a whole is ultra-conservative. Extremely conservative. Mega-uber-conservative.

Here is how my dictionary defines conservative: "1) averse to rapid change, 2) tending to favor strict adherence to a traditional, limited role for government". The other definitions listed don't really apply in a political sense. Now, don't the Libertarians want a rather limited role for government? Aren't these the guys that want to privatize everything, right down to the police and military? I'm no expert on the Libertarian party, but isn't that one of the things they want?

You see, Vince, "Conservative" really has NOTHING to do with what religious faith you are. So that's inconsequential, I don't even know why you brought it up. Just because many or even most conservatives fall into a certain faith does not mean it's a requisite to be of that faith if you're conservative.

See, "conservative" isn't a group you join up with, Vince. Neither are the liberals. They are not political parties, they are not organized groups. You don't carry a conservative or liberal I.D. card with you. They are simply ideologies. There are some Republicans that don't believe in prayer in school or the war on drugs either. Big deal. Republicans are still a conservative party. So are Libertarians.
