I don't bother to investigate anything?? You think I am not well versed in the viewpoints of the Libertarian Party of 2010?
I know DAMN well what the majority of todays Libertarians stand for - and it's FAR RIGHT by TODAYS definition of what it means to be right or left (not the days of the French Revolution)... You know that, we all do.

It's really not... I'm not saying Wikipedia is 100% correct but it's certainly a much more viable source of information than just about anywhere else online :P In addition I linked you an entire article about the fact as well as expounded on the main reason myself. I will also tell you that I AM a Libertarian and I'm saying I'm not a right-winger. I'm not sure how much more proof you need, LOL
Currently the far right is reserved for; nationalists, religious extremists, fascists, and nazis... no Libertarians in that crowd ;)
In fact, "The US Department of Homeland Security defines right-wing extremism as hate groups who target racial, ethnic or religious minorities and may be dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
That's about as far away from Libertarians as you can possibly get, hahah.
Maybe if you told me WHY you think Libertarians are right-wingers I could understand why you hold that association. What I'm guessing is you see the right-wing as supporting a freer market and private property rights... these are indeed Libertarian core values but you need to also take into account all those things Libertarians do NOT support. Additionally there is even a "Right-wing Libertarian" separate affiliation... If the Libertarian party was considered right-wing then there would be no need for the distinction...
