"Libertarianism is a term used so freely that both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky happily use it to describe themselves – albeit one as a “Libertarian Conservative” and the other as a “Libertarian Socialist”."

Anything that can include both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky is pretty much useless as a definition - how can you discuss libertarianism if considering such divergant opinions to be libertarian? Instead this debate should stick to what the introduction calls "libertarian Conservative" for consistency.
