If you're looking for consistency, you won't find it with them. Most of them think they're Christians, too. RW libertarians in the U.S. have more in common with fascists than anything else, which is why I think there is some confusion here. The word "libertarian" doesn't mean the same thing in America that it does in the rest of the world. I agree with what you're saying, but the word means something totally different when applied to American RWers.
