Sure. I'm not saying that those things have nothing to do with it. You
obviously give these issues some thought, but I still say that people
have more hidden baggage behind these kinds of decisions than they
typically know.

That would seem to suggest that you think the libertarian side is the
conservative side. I would strongly disagree. If I had to use that
silly single dimension to rank them, I'd say that the Libertarians are
weakly on the side of the Republicans rather than the Democrats, but
they're certainly not conservative Republicans. That rank is designated
for whacked out religious fascists.
