Sort of a libertarian neocon with some socially conservative views, so I voted.

I picked "Other" because I support Rubio, but out of these, Cruz, followed by Paul and then Johnson.

libertarian neocon....those things are kind of mutually exclusive...
How so? I'm a libertarian at home and a neocon abroad because both support freedom and democracy.

Sure, but the thing that is supposed to unify most libertarians is at least a vague/moderate interpretation of the non-aggression principle. Neoconservatism sometimes supports overthrowing democracies and planting military all over the world and keeping them there until deemed 'safe'. Nothing about that is libertarian or non-aggressive. I'm a moderate myself, and very much think libertarians have to accept the moderates and all forms of libertarians, but I would say you have to at least be skeptical of interventionist foreign policy to be considered one, otherwise its not consistent.
