OP put it better than I could, but I'll add that this confusion is created by a very vanilla interpretation of libertarianism that says that libertarians are just "fiscally conservative, socially liberal". But that description covers a whole range of ideological groupings, not just libertarians. For example, Bill Clinton was a liberal president who largely governed in a fiscally conservative manner - but he was categorically not a libertarian, and supported many laws and initiatives that made libertarian skins crawl.
