Libertarians in the modern US are republicans that figured out saying that gets them no favors. At least that's what it seems like to me.

There are two flavors of Libertarian. The one that is too embarrassed to admit they are GOP, and the other that thinks the GOP are a bunch of left leaning hippies.

There is no such thing as a right wing libertarian.

Not by definition, but the right wing turds have co-opted it like they have so many other things.

I don't see why you should respect the claims to a term from people that don't even meet their own false standards.
