Re: What I do not understand about the conservative ideology

Libertarians are the true conservatives

This is actually misinformation. Liberarians are true Liberals in the original sense of the word. What we call liberals (or progressives I guess) now are closer to democratic socialists.
What is called conservative today would fall closer to fascism or authoritarianism.
EDIT: I guess that line was redundant as you already said it. Oh well.

No, Ricky Ricky, you're wrong. Don't get involved in this if you don't know what you are talking about.
Conservatism is about restricting the power of government in all areas. The modern day Libertarian Party best fits that description, especially considering the fact that government spending has grown faster under Bush than his recent Democratic predecessors.
