Cato isn't right wing, it is libertarian, which to a first order approximation means conservative on economic issues and liberal on social issues. Among other things, they took a strongly anti-war stance during the Bush administration and have long been in favor of drug legalization and gay marriage, and against abusive police tactics. I don't think anyone would typically call these positions "far right".
