"Libertarian conservative" makes exactly as much sense as "authoritarian liberal" and has the same energy as "lawful chaotic" or "evil good".

This might be controversial, but I'd disagree. In the real sense of the word, a libertarian is just someone who wants the government to stay out of people's lives. A conservative libertarian would want the government to not regulate what people do, but maintain very limited control of businesses. However, modern libertarians don't really follow this, except where it pertains to child marraige and things like that. A real libertarian is mostly socially left, but economically right. At one point in time I did agree with that, but that's just because I didn't know about anarchism or other leftist philosophy that is logically consistent and better.
