    It’s because so many shitty repubs have jumped to calling themselves libertarians and then flying the Gadsden flag while having a punisher sticker and thin blue line all at once. Just like they co-opted the tea party during the Ron Paul days.

    The Dems have the tankies though, don’t know which is worse though.

      They are free to call themselves whatever they like, but that doesn’t make it factual, nor does it change the defintion of libertarianism, or the history, and true meaning of the Gadsden Flag.
