No. Libertarian is libertarian and conservative is conservative.

For example, libertarians generally believe in abortion, are against dope laws, believe in a defense force in the true sense of that word, believe that the national government should be designed as outlined in the constitution and have a truly federal relationship with the states.

Libertarians believe in free markets, free trade, deregulation of all industries, no proffessional standards (ie, get rid of PE's and the Bar).

No, not conservative by any stretch. Many conservatives agree with some of the libertarian philosophy as do many liberals. Both groups tend to pick the parts they like and think the rest are too wacky.
