Conservatives hide behind "libertarian" philosophy.
Echoing alcaray's post below, some people only want the government out of their way, and want it to intrude upon others as much as possible so as to control them.
That's part of the Conservative hypocrisy. "Big government controlling individuals, no government restrictions on corporations or capital!"
True Libertarians aren't hypocritical in that regard. They are ridiculous, but not hypocritical.
