Actually, the truth that no one here on FR wants to admit is that all of these so-called "wing-nuts" are libertarians. As such, they are aligned with the "Progressives" on some issues, and to the right of Conservatives on others.
Politics isn’t a straight left, right line. It is more of a circle and the nuts meet up at somepoint. Unfortunately, the Democratic party has moved closer and closer to the extreme meetup point.
Save the slander, and learn a little respect for the differences in conservative political thought before you start calling people wingnuts.
The libertarians you seem to want to put down are mostly people who recognize that government encroachment against rights can come from either side of the aisle. You may have heard about something called McCain-Feingold? How about the many overreaches done in the name of the War on Drugs? Liberty is liberty - someone who is fooled by labels is worthless in the fight to protect it.
