No there aren't. This is rubbish. It's like saying there are white black people and black white people. There are some libertarians who have "social" positions that can be considered liberal, but they're not liberal for the same reasons that liberals believe in them, and they don't EVER endorse government solutions to any kind of problems, even social ones.

They're also not conservatives, because their reasons for believing in a limited government with specifically enumerated powers don't spring from essentially conservative considerations, but from secular ones.

Simply because there's some overlap doesn't put them into either camp.
