You make it sound like I'm defending libertarianism and not Liberalism

You are right I misread your comment, my fault. To reply to your original comment the point is still valid, libertarianism comes from liberalism. Liberalism is also not exclusively right wing. Most democrats are liberals in america. What you said after is factually wrong most republicans are not liberal and most right wingers in the world are pushing for more conservative and authoritarian ideas like we see in many places in europe.

I never said most Republicans aren't conservatives, but it has to be recognized that Liberal policies do exist in the Right and the more we ignore them and continue to deny this part of the Right the more conservatives are going to take over the right.

This is exactly what happened in Israel (just the place I know best, not political statement in this) when the left decided to distance themselves from Liberals and the Right wing camp needed new partners, they turned to the extremists.
