I'll go with the definition that life long libertarians like Ron Paul, Murray Rothbard, Walter Block and Lew Rockwell wrote in the Libertarian Party Platform:
"As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty: a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and are not forced to sacrifice their values for the benefit of others...
Consequently, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power."
Go with the definition given by life long political scientists. Libertarians are liberals, like conservatives---they just lean their liberalism toward anarchism, while conservatives lean their liberalism toward paternalism. But they're both liberals. You can check this on the internet, this is how the political scientists define libertarianism.
Why are you so threatened to acknowledge that the core tenet of libertarianism is the supposed right to do with one's body as he or she pleases without government interference?
The government (police, criminal justice system) has the power to kill you if justified, or they can imprison you indefinitely, or they can just fine you, they have a lot of power, and the libertarians do not like this one bit, but bear in mind that the government is there because of violent crime, Romans 13 re: "the sword". If you don't commit violent crime, and if you don't associate with violent criminals, then you'll probably avoid any very serious interaction with the government.
There, that's better (for those of you that don't read libertarian, idolater just made a plug for "victimless crimes", the two words libertarians frequently use to promote their Godless agenda. Anything short of murder is supposedly "victimless", especially homosexuality and recreational drug use).

Looks good on paper doesn't it folks? That is until you scroll down and they explain what words like "liberty" and "peaceful and honest" mean in libertarian terms: the legalization* of homosexuality, abortion, pornography, prostitution, recreational drug use, things that anyone with common sense knows enslaves people to sin, it doesn't "free" them.
Totally agreed on that sentiment. But you're just incorrect that people should be penalized by the government ("the sword") because they masturbate "wrong".
For those that haven't followed the idolater dog and pony show, he compares same sex buggery with that of masturbation. I guess that's what the homosexual Catholic Priests told 12 year old altar boys how to look at it.
In any event, I've contacted the White House to see if they have any extra of these lying around (I suspect that idolater takes his in pencil-neck small)
