All the issues you have described revolve around the objective of preserving liberty and the role of the state in achieving this, which appears to be something only libertarians understand. Other political parties have a more blunt method of solving problems than deriving their solutions logically from a set of infallible principles, they pass a law which solves one problem and if it causes another they pass another law rather than admit they were wrong, this in turn causes more problems or just masks it and when it eventually surfaces the opposing political party doesn't want to look like it is repealing laws which solve a "problem" and instead pass yet another law and another and another... This makes politicians appear to be problem solvers but it is short sighted and the sprawling bureaucracy needed to administer these laws, along with their loopholes, is not desirable either. This is why libertarianism is associated with small government, it is also why some people view libertarians as ignoring some problems when in reality they have merely taken other issues into account.
