Daniel McCarthy is every libertarian’s favorite conservative, and it’s my honor and privilege to bring you our lengthy conversation. Here are some of the topics we’re covering:
What is conservatism? Is it different from right-wingism?
Why does Dan think American national divorce is a bad idea?
Would Dan have been a Federalist or a Jeffersonian?
What do people get wrong about Pat Buchanan?
What the heck happened to Ross Perot’s Reform Party?
What’s the future of conservatism?
Where do libertarians and Libertarians go wrong?
That, plus the very distinct possibility that I burped directly into the mic at about 19 minutes and my dog loudly munched on a bone at about 55 minutes. How could you possibly resist listening to that?

The Codevilla article I mentioned at the end, which isn’t from Spectator, but from American Spectator. It’s worth reading anyway.
