Default Re: What I do not understand about the conservative ideology

I fail to understand why libertarians should be considered the "true conservatives". Libertarians are essentially laissez-faire both in economics AND in social matters. If anything, that strikes me as being the "true liberals" rather than the "true conservatives". Liberal = "to allow", and libertarians generally favor allowing the widest choice in both social and economic matters.
