I don't know if I'm the kind of libertarian you are talking about, but I'd say I'm more neoindividualist, although if I had to pick a party it would be theirs. I'm only slightly to the right in economic terms, but I am liberal as all hell socially. Except when the 'inequality' mess starts to encroach on other people's rights in business. I personally have issues with what I see as 'artificial diversity and/or homogeny'. The democratic party here in America seems like the same authoritarianism that republicans have, just with different ideas about it. Maybe more libertarians are like what you say, but that seems like a political cariciture to me since crazies like Ron Paul are the only ones that the public sees and as a minority political group they get autohated.
If it's any consolation, I don't care for either of the parties neither. The dems can be pretty nasty at times (Clinton's bombing of a Sudanese medicine factory and his sanctions which starved millions come to mind), only, unlike republicans, democrats affect a sympathy for the poor and keep people complacent by tossing a bone to the populace now and again in the form of largely weak and ineffective govt. assistance. At least, that's my impression of them.
IIN to find libertarians annoying?
