The entire thought process of liberaltarianism is warped. Less taxation, tax and legalize drugs. Govt is meant to only protect the people, open borders for all. Right to life, kill the unborn at will. Right to bear arms, I am sure there is some bullet tax there. Then when you disagree with them it is all lies and that we are all kool-aid drinkers. Frankly I have come to find out that libertarians fal into three different groups.

A. Liberals who feel taxes are too high
B. Conservatives who got caught doing an illegal act and were convicted, ie dopesmokers, cocaine users etc.
C. Anarchists who want the destruction of most forms of centralized authority.

What part of RR do you feel was warped? Or his platform in '84 and '88? Or Newt's Contract for America?

I generally agree. I'd change "B" to:

B. Individuals who have acted badly in the past and are unwilling to accept the traditional consequences for such actions.

I would also add the following:

D. Individuals who would rather rationalize their vices as "rights" than recognize them for what they are and overcome them.
