The younger libertarians represent a somewhat different constituency than the older racist whites grouped around the tea party. The former are more socially liberal and anti-authoritarian than the latter. The economically and culturally threatened racist whites you describe would undoubtedly form the shock troops of a fascist movement were circumstances to produce one in the US, but we are far from that yet. If you'll consult the archives, you'll note that I've made this point many times before. But my comments today and the article below it were in reference to the libertarians, both in and around and independent of the Republican party.
Try not to rant at me next time.
