Literaly "one who supports freedom"
Common Uses:
1. First recorded use in medieval theological debates to mean someone who believed in human free will.
2. First political usage in 19th century france as a euphemism for anarchist when anarchist publications were banned.
3. Used since the mid 19th century onwards to diferentiate their proposed economic systems from those of classic socialists (ie libertarian communism, libertarian socialism etc). Worldwide this remains the most common use today.

It's real strange how these american radical capitalists use the word libertarian, seeing as how in the rest of the world it is usually followed by the word communist

I thought the only reason why we went to war with Iraq was because of nuclear weapons, NOT TO "LIBERATE" IRAQ.
This whole war-with-Iraq thing is excellent proff to show that the government can trick people into going to war for no reason whatsoever.

Get the Operation Iraqi Liberation mug.Libra is an adtrology sign and the people who they usually aren’t have a name that start with L, they love attention even if they deny it they do, they love to be praised and called beautiful, Libras are also the most difficult to understand, they say one thing when they mean another, also this is from experience,they can talk about themselves a lot, they will text there friend only to talk about themselves and their problems, without asking how their friend is, Libras often think they are right and will argue with you just because they can, and when proven wrong, they blame is on someone or something to explain why they were wrong, they also love to play victim, They might have some troubles at home sometimes but they make everyone else’s problems feel inferior because they like to be the victim, someone could be in the same situation but the Libras believe that their own problems are worse just because it’s happening to them, they are also bipolar, one minute they could be fine then the next be a total asshole to anyone, Stop thinking your opinion matters more, they also love to lie, decseve and take over, either by interrupting or shutting down your opinion; on the other hand Libras can be soft and snuggly but only about 1/3 of the time.
Wow Lilly is such a Libra, all she did was shut down my opinion and tell me she’s right and then play victim when I got mad.
