Someone who believes that the government is evil but giant corporations would never do anything bad.
Someone who believes that a company's right to make money is more important than the people's right to breathe.
Someone who gets indignant when I kick him in the nuts for blowing smoke in my face.
Someone ranting about the government, usually from the back of a cop car.
The grown up (sort of) equivalent of a kid punching his fist in the air and saying "if you get hit it's your own fault."
Someone too stupid to whack off and pass gas at the same time.

John says he refuses to pay his taxes because he's a Libertarian. The judge didn't share his perspective.

A person who believes there should be no government at all because they don't want to pay taxes. In order to support this view libertarians insist the government is completely corrupt and incapable while they use demonizing tactics against those who use or who are likely to use government programs intended to combat starvation and poverty, usually the poor and disabled. However, it's impossible to find a libertarian who will refuse government aid when they themselves become poor or disabled. This is because libertarians understand they are due reparations for the theft of their tax dollars, as is spelled out in the sacred governmental domination instruction manual known as the Constitution.

A libertarian is someone who only cares about themselves and has no idea how politics work. A libertarian believes tehy should be free to do whatever they want, within limits they consider reasonable, and other people should be free to leave libertarians alone. They believe that passing a law will make things happen with no regards to things like cause and effect. Their political ideals align more closely with Lincoln era Republicans or with FDR era Democrats, but they will vote for whoever makes promises that libertarians want to hear.
My friend ended a political discussion by declaring he is a libertarian, meaning he believes he is right and will not listen to other views.

The political philosophy that...
1. ...says no one has the right to initate force against another. Period. Even if it's for their own good.
2. ...says government in a free society exists only to (A)protect its citizens from having force initated on them, and to (B)punish those who have initiated force on others.
3. ...IS NOT ANARCHISM, a belief that everything government provides, society can provide more effectively.
4. ...was derived from classical liberalism, the very philosophy that the United States was founded apon and roughly operated under up until the end of the 1800s.
5. ...is the most logical, humane, and ethical political system ever thought of.
For insight on the *practical* benefits of such a system, interested bodies should read "Healing Our World" by Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, just to get started. (Freely available on the Net.)

"(Left-)Liberals want the government to be your Mommy. Conservatives want government to be your Daddy. Libertarians want it to treat you like an adult."
