I think more then likely what you are describing in the future of the Republican party, rather then the Libertarian one. The Libertarians have some very extreme and unpopular things in their platform and it would be a daunting task to replace the Republican party. Social and religious conservatives are almost all old people with disproportionate power because old people turn out to vote and young Republicans do tend more towards soft L libertarian like you described. Fiscally conservative but socially moderate. Libertarians, or rather the libertarian party aren't fiscally conservative. They are fiscally Libertarian, which is very different. I don't think people in large will ever be on board with things like :

Abolishing the Department of Education
Abolishing the EPA
Abolishing all public health
Abolishing the Federal Reserve
Legalizing hard drugs
etc etc etc

How about, abolish the IRS. I could definitely be on board with that.

Well a conservative who wants to abolish the IRS typically wants to replace it with a national sales tax or flat tax. A Libertarian party member wants to replace it with nothing. I mean, I'm fiscally conservative myself, but there is a pragmatism that has to be in place as well. You can't have a big military, social security, medicare and no income tax. At least one of those three would have to be abolished completely and everything else slashed to the max if you were to get rid of income tax entirely.
