I always find this subject fascinating. Conservatives and libertarians share many things in common, but are subject to a rift over some significant differences.
I still predict that the rift will never happen. The one thing conservatives have that libertarians do not is the ability to organize. It's almost as though it's a naturally selecting flaw in their political nature. For that reason alone, libertarians have nowhere to go. The conservative movement will continue to have the libertarian tag-along, and will continue to feel comfortably at home in the Republican Party for the foreseeable future.
