Letters: The libertarian-conservative marriage

Re “Fusion power on the right,” Opinion, March 19

Jonah Goldberg is right that libertarians and Conservatives share very close views on economic issues, but it’s the social issues that push libertarians and even some Republicans into the liberal camp. If you strongly support free speech, voluntary military service, marriage equality and repealing drug laws, you are far to the left of conservatism.

If and when we have a strong libertarian candidate the Republicans can accept, it will be Democrats, not conservatives, jumping into the libertarian camp.
