Unless, of course your "loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people" are patriotically disguised as governmental support for the rich and entitled while utterly disregarding those who are poor and less fortunate. In other words, the Libertarian platform.

Never occurs to you does it, COG?

That's not the platform, Timmy. Libertarians are completely opposed to the crony capitalism practiced by the Democrats and Republicans.

From the link...

Libertarians want all members of society to have abundant opportunities to achieve economic success. A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society.

That doesn't sound like government support for the rich to me... quite the opposite.
