he absolutely did not reject libertarianism

"For Hayek, like Burke, believed that the institutions of freedom he cherished emerged from an undesigned and spontaneous evolutionary process utterly dependent upon the distilled knowledge embedded within inherited traditions and institutions. He was captivated by the wondrous order-within-complexity generated by this suprarational social process and wished to defend it against that rationalistic mentality which refuses to comprehend the significance of tradition and custom."

I have no problem with that. I still want to get rid of pork and economic meddling, cut taxes to levels that would look like nothing to people today, and legalize drugs.

Your "smoking gun" proves nothing.
