...I generally define "libertarian" as someone who believes in the non-initiation of force. According to this belief, it is wrong to initiate force or fraud against another person, and government exists to use force in defense against or punishment of those who would use force or fraud against another. Libertarians generally believe that this principle is the be-all and end-all of political philosophy, and that any government action must be measured by this principle and this principle alone.
I agree with the above too, but I get sick of the Bill Maher LIBERALtarians who use the word libertarian to justify their love of drugs and perverted sex.

Maher takes the libertarian stand on consensual crimes, but then so does Nader, and Maher voted for him.
