    When the Libertarians did the same thing and thus the Republicans stole their talking points and what not and used them to prop up business interest. :)

      The difference is Libertarians are supposedly pro-choice and support decriminalization of drugs. Conservatives end up on the wrong side of that conflict too.

      Libertarians are Republicans that don’t like being called racist. Honestly, some of the dumbest people I’ve ever spoken to. One tried explaining to me how a world with no taxes would work. I was like even nations that hadn’t invented written language had taxes. But no dude was like, “privatization would save money and be more efficient!”

        Some of them (including, notably, the American “Libertarian Party”) are that, yes. However, little-L “libertarian” just means “the opposite of authoritarian,” and includes leftist folks like anarcho-syndicalists and commune-dwelling hippies too.
