So, being for traditional social values and against open borders

There is only one traditional social value...liberty.
Open borders is what we have now. Paul wants to close the borders, so I guess you're on the wrong side of that issue too.

So let me guess, someone is against liberty if they oppose abortion "rights" and gay marriage, right?

Nope, closing the borders is one of the things I agree with Ron Paul about. BOTH he and I, however, differ with "orthodox" libertarianism about this issue, however. Libertarianism as a philosophical principle espouses "the free flow of labour", and that national borders ought not be a hindrance to any individual exercising their right to get the most benefit from their labour. Ron Paul's position on the borders is NOT libertarian.
