The best I have heard is "Libertarians are like domestic house cats. They have a smug, superior attitude, and spend their time looking down on the system on which they are dependent".
My thoughts are: A Libertarian waters his lawn in the middle of a drought because "I pay the water bill, and there is nothing in the constitution that says I can't".

Libertarianism is, by definition, self-serving.
For example - they're supposedly big individual liberty people.... so they don't want the government enroaching on those.
Only they don't accept or understand that corrupt people and communities also do this... and things like governmental protections for marginalized groups matter.
You can't be pro "individual liberty" if - at the end of the day - you believe in a world where, by stepping foot on the wrong block, my liberties can be erased by the populace and their corrupt institutions.

Ad hominem and red herring.

Well your use of ad hominem is ironic, isn't it? Almost... professional.
