It doesn’t matter to me what she thinks, tweets, etc.
It matters to her fans. Many of them have steadfastly denied she has any libertarian connections, but it’s becoming more and more obvious.

Most repub DO have libertarian connections; we do have stuff in common.

Sarah Palin is a small "l" libertarian Republican, essentially, a Pro-Life, Limited Government, Strong Military, anti-Gay Marriage Republican.
Just the same as Ronald Reagan.
Anyone having a problem with being a small "l" libertarian is really nuts.
Now, if you are trying to equate the almost anarchataristic big "L" libertarians with Sarah Palin, you are wrong.
There are two distinct and radically different sets of libertarians.
One set has no morals, wants drugs legalized, wants an open border, has no problems with gay marriage, and oh, is for limited government.
The other, like Reagan, realizes you can't have an effective limited government unless it is grounded in morality.
The founders where small "l" libertarians as well, judging by their public statements and writings.

If you are a Conservative you have some agreement with libertarians...but only if you believe in Second Amendment rights and tax reform as strongly as libertarians do.
Funny thing is that libertarians are stronger on some core Conservative issues than are Conservatives.
But if you prefer to alienate those of us with libertarian tendencies, be my guest.
The stronger the Tea Party gets the less influential the decayed GOP is. And that is a good thing.
