Lately I have been getting honour first, just the first policy, and then following the liberty tree. This not only gives you a bonus fighting against the barbarians, but you earn culture points from killing them. It seems to me that if I do nothing else I wind up killing enough barbs that the culture points are worth it, plus it's nice to have the combat bonus against them.
Even better, if you find a barb camp near your city once the barbs are starting to come under control then stick an archer or other range unit on a hill next to it and, instead of capturing the camp, just let them keep spawning and take them out as they spawn. This not only levels up your unit, but allows you to farm the barb camp for culture. When you need your archer back you can take out the camp and go.
