Hmm . . . Is John Ringo a Libertarian or a Republican? He's pretty much what I think of when I think of bad Libertarian writers. They're the folks who write exactly three types of characters:

1): Rude, crude jerks whose sole motivation is personal gain. They rarely lie or manipulate others, and that's supposed to make them sympathetic. They're the protagonists.

2): Manipulative shits who claim power over others to exploit them. They pretend to care for everyone and want to help everyone, but they really only care about themselves. These are the antagonists

3): People who actually want to work together and help others. Every single one of them is stupid and gullible and doesn't realize the bad guys are exploiting them. They tend to be the only pacifists in the story.

I think Ringo's just a conservative.

The ur-text of libertarian fiction - actually, the ur-text of libertarian fiction is always going to be Atlas Shrugged, but the ur-text of modern science fiction oriented libertarian fiction is definitely L. Neil Smith's The Probability Broach.

... which itself caricatures the real-world into some kind of ill-defined statist dystopia whose prime directive seems to be interfering in people's lives as much as possible.

No coincidence the same website also produced that book as a comic.
