Are there any REAL Libertarians posting on the PB currently?

We know who the fake ones are. They're simple to spot, because they're uneducated, overtly bigoted, and loud.

But it's also easy to lose the real ones in the fray - hence my query.

True libertarians are a kind of unicorn. I have yet to actually meet one.

"Libertarians" have just enough cowardice / shame to not openly identify as “republicans”.

They were around in the late 80s/early 90s.

Then the evangelicals moved in.

And now it's mostly right-fringe Republicans who are too chickenshit to come out of the closet.

So are most true Libertarians in my experience. I mean, it's an extremely simplistic philosophy, largely based on the idea that those who are oppressed either deserve it or aren't really oppressed, and its adherents are awfully certain that they're the few who know the One True Way.
