That's fair. True honest Libertarians are rare. Given Libertarianism rigidly compels one to allow those he doesn't like the same broad rights as he enjoys, most folks can't walk the purist walk required.
Also (and this is why I can't call myself a Libertarian), strict Libertarianism doesn't work. When you apply relativism to everything with the only limitation being all actions must be consensual, you eventually fall into anarchy. As a libertine, and a person who thinks morals and the rules stemming from them are too often hijacked by the officious and powerful for use as control mechanisms, I've spent decades wishing someone could make a pure "dowhatchalike" anything-goes society work. Ain't gonna happen.
