I've seen countless freepers say that they were republican or conservative with libertarian leanings.

I've never seen anyone say that they are libertarian with republican or conservative leanings.

---------------------------------

You are trying to reverse the usual progression to political sanity. - And, of course, most so called conservatives are 'Rinos'.
They really can't seem to understand that true constitutional conservatism is virtually identical to libertarian thought.

Modern libertarianism was started in the 50/60's as a protest, - back when the nixonian liberals started their takeover of the republican party. They won.
The Rinos only pay lip service to conservative republican principles.
