Get the Libertyass mug.As epitomized by The Colbert Report and the Daily Show, a form of journalism designed specifically to appeal to popular cultural elements and entertain. The informative aspect is highly variable from cleverly satirical to nothing more than pulp journalism.
The News Hour is informative but a bit dry. I prefer libertainment like the Colbert Report that lampoons while presenting the major happenings around the nation.

Get the libertainment mug.Related Words
Libertarians are a bunch of failed Reagan-era Republicans and Conservatives who despise the poor and working classes while constantly praising the ground that the so-called "free market" walks on.
At their best, they're conservatives, at their worst, they're anarcho-capitalists who want to see the poor suffer and eventually die off.
Libertarians constantly praise the free market and seem to believe that companies are somehow incapable of any form of wrongdoing and that everybody should go to them for help.
They want to privatize everything from law enforcement (mercenary police) to even national defense (private armies). They also want to dispose of any and all forms of social welfare, an action that will kill many people, make many more homeless, and leave countless without any form of health insurance.
They want to see society return to its original tribalist form, where no civilization existed and there were no forms of organization, basically turning back the clock on human social progression.

Get the libertarian mug.Someone who claims to be a libertarian but believes that all manner of silly left-wing statist beliefs are an integral part of libertarianism.
Some bleeding-heart libertarian told me that "slut shaming" was the equivalent of going on a killing spree in a shopping mall and that I needed to "check my privilege."

Get the bleeding-heart libertarian mug.Typical Northwest Chicago Suburb. Wealthy enough to look down on other suburbs (especially Mundelein), while still believing they are "down to earth" because they are not as rich as Lake Forest. Residents will often remind you that Libertyville is better than your town, often followed up with "we don't do THAT in Libertyville, we do it THIS way." The guys are the cookie cutter Dave Matthews band followers. They wear expensive sandals, sporting a $50 haircut made to look "shaggy", smoking lots of pot, and claiming to be hippies while being die-hard republicans without really knowing why or following politics. The girls are devastatingly sheltered, but think they understand racism because "there was a black kid that went to my high school". They can be heard saying, "we like totally have minorities too just like anywhere else. Like my doctor is totally Indian and my psychiatrist is Chinese or something."

Get the Libertyville mug.The act of giving a party exactly what they ask for, with the intent to demonstrate flaws. Taken from the idea that if Libertarians, who claim to want almost no governmental control, were made to live in Somalia, an actual near-lawless state, they would change their views.
Letting my son stay up as long as he wants is like Libertarians in Somalia: everything he claims to want, and it's killing him.
My son wouldn't drop his insistence at a later bedtime, so I adopted a Libertarians-in-Somalia approach. He always goes to bed on time now.
