Hey now, just because I like the guy and used to agree with his ideology does not mean that I would have ever voted for a Libertarian.
Libertarians are radicals by U.S. standards. I am too conservative, we don't need to steer the system in a wild new direction, we need to nudge it.
We live comfortable lives, our wealth is fairly safe, our lives are safe. The problems are in our hearts. Some want healthcare to be more accessible, some want borders to be secure, some want to protect or eliminate abortion. None of these are big changes to a significant number of Americans. They are issues to individual Americans.
The point of Libertarianism is to take out individual motivations in government, for the sake of the individual. The real world just doesn't work that way. If your religious beliefs say, "Try to change the rules," than Libertarianism won't work. If your feeling say no child should go with out health care, then Libertarianism won't work. If your ideology demands international interference or intervention, then Libertarianism won't work.
Like all radical ideologies, the ideas can sound good or apalling. When you look deeper, you will see a very naive and immature method of governing; that could only work well if everyone agreed... Of course, if every one agreed, we wouldn't need government.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
