There's certainly a spectrum. In addition to what you alluded to, you have your pragmatic libertarians who are not "pure" because they know it's not plausible to be "pure" and your theoretical libertarians who will cite you hundreds of years worth of political theory that we have yet to see replicated in the real world.


Rand Paul, however, is just a conservative. He wants less government in the economy and he wants less government in our lives except for areas concerning upholding morality where he is good with the government maintaining certain "values". That's textbook conservatism. Libertarians (big L and little l) saw this when he and pops supported The Cooch in the VA gubernatorial race. Libertarians don't endorse people trying to enforce government bans on blowjobs and butt sex.
