Sure why not?
Some people clearly don't understand Libertarianism. It's not anarchy, Libertarians believe that government is necessary and its job is to protect the innocent from violence and coercion. More than that the gov't is infringing on individuals and society. Contrary to popular belief, not every problem needs a government solution.

I don't know about whether any political party can be considered practical. It seems to me that anytime anyone attaches a party line to anything it creates an arena for corruption. I believe that if we completely did away with political parties and focused on representatives for our local area, state, and federal that actually represent the ideals of the people that send them to wherever to REPRESENT, then we would be better off as a nation.

It's as "practical" as any other political philosophy.
What's so problematic with "live and let live?"
What about the "pursuit of happiness?" Why do so many people make it their business to stick their nose in other people's business?
I've lived through several presidencies, and I've never seen this nation more polarized or disfunctional.

It can, right up to the point where two libertarians meet and both decide that they want to kill the person they have just met, as there are no restrictions right?

A party that both liberals and conservatives can be a member of?
Ideally, yes! Politically, no.
