Libertard
Mix of libertarian and retard, used to denote a libertarian who is idealistic and has unrealistic expectations for a hypothetical libertarian society.

Why is it that when liberals are caught on this all we hear is “It is the past, lets move on” Repubs are supposed to answer endlessly. Hey libertards, let’s move on.

Subject: Taxes Aren’t the Only Price of Liberty
