You shouldn't try to conflate "libertine" with "libertarian". A libertarian might defend the right of a libertine to act without morals (so long as no one else gets harmed) -- but, that doesn't mean that a libertarian will be a libertine. Libertarians believe in free will -- that doesn't preclude having a very strict personal code of morals.

conservatives on the other hand believe that libertine behavior inevitably results in more government for everyone else. That is why social liberals tend to be fiscal liberals as well.
