Libertarians are not all Conservatives

I have recently heard libertarians being called "conservatives" quite frequently. This misses a important distinction that exists: there really are two types of libertarians. Libertarians come in distinct conservative and liberal flavors. The difference between a conservative libertarian and a liberal libertarian is that the conservative wants low taxes and legal marijuana for philosophical consistency and prevention of totalitarianism, while the liberal wants low taxes so he can buy more marijuana.
