The political philosophy of the Founding Fathers. The original philosophy of the Republican Party which has somehow morphed into the abomination it is today. Small government, free trade. Pretty much everything the Republican Party would like you to believe they are but aren't.
Ron Paul is a libertarian, but since the libertarian party can't get enough momentum, he tried to run as a republican. But since modern day neo-conservatives are too stupid to see the libertarianism America came from he did not become president.

A person who believes in Freedom from government control.
I don't really like abortions, but I don't mind if you have one that's your choice, because that's just what it means to be a libertarian, you do you. ( as compared to being a communist where the government makes your choices for you) (as compared to being a liberal where some dick bag in California makes your choices for you) ( as compared to Republican where some dick bag from Kentucky makes your choices for you)

"Balance the federal budget now, not 15 years from now, not 20 years from now, but now. And throw out the entire federal tax system, replace it with a fair tax, a consumption tax, that by all measurements is just that. It's fair." - Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election

Modern philosophy of government closley resembling Classic Liberalism, a philosophy of government which stresses liberties (economic and civil).
Libertarianism is a term for a philosophy that promotes liberty, i.e. freedom, which includes the civil freedoms to be prejudice, greedy, hateful, ect., and the economic freedom to be rich, buy anything, sell anything, have total rights over all private property. Thus Libertarianism CANNOT, BY DEFINITION, be socialism.
Libertarianism is the absolute most ethical form of government, specifically because it allows individuals to believe and practice what ever they want, such as live in exclusive socialist communities. Capitolism is not an economic system; it is the lack thereof, thus allowing any group of people to do anything to which the included people consent. This is unlike socialism, which requires everyone to participate, even if it is against that individual's will.
Lets review:
Libertarianism = good.
Socialism = bad.
Any questions?

A person who greatly desires to win an argument that nobody else wants to have.
As a libertarian, Patrick realized he was the only person at the party who could convince Ava that government spending was tantamount to state confiscation of private property and would cripple The Free Market's ability to address society's challenges.
