Liberal

Initially associated with a philosopy of personal liberty and self reliance, protected by Libretatrian and democratic government, mainly defined as such in the years 1750-1963 (Ending upon the death of John F. Kennedy)

Currently signifies, at least in western democracies, a dedication to what was previously known as socialism, with chief tenets including Government provided healthcare and education, along with mild to heavy redistribution of wealth through "Progressive" taxes based upon income. Also generally associated with the moral relativism and supposed "nonjudgementalism" of American celebrities, Secular Statesman in Europe and a whole range of other "Progressives" who criticize the current system of regulated capitalism in place in the United States. To be fair to liberals, though their economic ideas appeal especially to those within the so called "Progressive" community, the semi-socialist modern liberalism is a seperate entity from the relativists, nonjudgementalists and general haters of western civilisation and its norms(See Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, Barbara Streisand, etc)

"We must embrace a liberal economic agenda or the minorities in our society will never be equal"

Libertarian

Derived from the word “liberty,” a Libertarian is someone who advocates individual liberties.

Libertarians believe that individuals have the right to make their own choices, as long as it doesn’t harm oneself or other people. Libertarians generally believe in having a small, de-centralized form of government with limited taxation to give the people reign over his or her activities. These types of individuals usually regard issues such as health care, education, etc., as the responsibility of the individual and not of the state. Ron Paul and Gary Johnson are well known Libertarians.

Libertarian

The party the other controlling party (the government) doesn't want America's people to know about. Why do you think you NEVER hear any truth in the media about them? The sheeple think there are two parties but there's really only one with 2 faces and no real differences. The only freedom endording party is the Libertarian Party. ONLY libertarianism promotes the identical government this country was created under. Most Americans are brainwashed that this government program or another is going to help them and at best it helps them live in poverty. Which govt. program wouldn't you trade for never again having to pay income taxes? Why didn't we notice our freedoms being stolen? Listen to my man James.

Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
