If Paul wants to get rid of a government agency....conservatives should welcome it.

I would. I would applaud madly. What I cannot accept is surrender in an existential struggle with Islam and renunciation of the doctrine of forward defense. His lack of judgment in defining a foreign policy makes me question his ability to make judgments across the board.

There's no requirement that libertarians be surrender monkeys. Nothing in the philosophy of libertarianism compels surrender-monkeyness. Paul chose that and he chose wrong, big time.
