Libertarians: The Whiter, wealthier bastion of the White Republican Party


They are not the same as Tea Partiers or the religious right; this is a different crowd.  
 
You could call it the wealthy white fratboy wing of the GOP. Or perhaps its masters-of-the-universe subset, as exemplified by Wall Streeters who regularly rank private profits above the common good and whose credo is “get government out of my way.”
Libertarians make up a small but enduring slice of the Right, a nationwide study by the Public Religion Research Institute confirms.
