I'll second what others have noted: while Baen does have a lot of "right wing" authors, they cover the entire political spectrum. Eric Flint isn't just a lefty, he's an actual Communist--his author bios in some of his older books even boasted of his membership in the Socialist Worker's Party. He's actually a pretty good writer, and not nearly as openly political as some of the other writers.
Tom Kratman and Michael Williamson are definitely _not_ libertarians--I says this as someone who _is_ a libertarian. Kratman, from what I've seen, is pretty much a "Freeper" type. And one of his books (co-written with John Ringo) tries to make the SS (yes, _that_ SS) out to be good guys, so I guess you could say there's nothing crypto about his fascism.
Williamson is a really good writer, and I recommend "The Weapon" as an excellent look into the mindset of a terrorist--where he comes from, how he justifies his actions to himself, etc. Strong stomach required, though. I generally don't recommend books with unsympathetic protagonists, but this one is worth it for the educational value.
If you want an example of an actual libertarian author, Baen publishes "Forge of the Elders" by L. Neil Smith. Be warned, though--libertarians exist outside the conventional "left/right" political spectrum. Pretty much everybody hates us. ;-)
Baen has a whole bunch of their older books available for free on their website.
