They are Authoritarian Libertarians. Layering Evangelicals on top of that just gives them the confidence that they also have God on their side, bestowing certainty and legitimacy to their evil. It's all delusions, of course, but that's why they should be never put in positions of power.

Authoritarian libertarianism uses a rhetoric of freedom and liberty to advocate and enforce policies of control, forcing everyone to abide by what in-group authorities determine is correct behavior and belief. I don’t think the rhetoric is necessarily insincere. My favorite example of authoritarian libertarianism is how the Massachusetts Bay Colony defended its practice of punishing, expelling, and sometimes hanging dissenters as consistent with the "freedom of conscience" guaranteed in its charter.
