What is a Libertarian?

On election day, your Presidential ballot will probably include a 3rd choice: Libertarian Party Candidate Chase Oliver.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

"a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law"

That would be like living in a " Constitutional Republic." Works for me. Let's vote Republican this time around. Work it from there.

Nahhh…let’s have MORE govt programs, they work so well and $36, 000, 000, 000, 000 really isn’t THAT much much money to owe, I mean C’mon man…

Unfortunately our government has grown beyond all limitations and it may be too late to rein it back in

The 2 best Libertarians were Ross Perot and Ron Paul. Even though Ross ran as a independent he had Libertarian in him . I even think Thoamas Massie is more Libertarian than Rand Paul .

I agree with most of his points except an open border.

We could have that type of freedom if people had a moral compass and societal norms in place.

[Spencerianism]

In other words, a Libertarian is someone who has high moral standards and lives firmly by them. Quite the opposite of a politician.

"Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own."
James Madison

Live and let live (and includes those within the womb) without large government involvement. ✌🏼🇺🇸

When this country was founded, in fact before it was founded, people had a much better moral compass. But then, 98% of the population were Christian and followed the tenets laid out in the Bible.

And to this day, everybody serves somebody.

The national defense cannot be done through the private marketplace.

If John Stossel endorses the libertarian party, that would be quite something

[zarrahprodan]

I switched my voter status from Libertarian to Republican to make sure my vote stands a chance this year🤷

A libertarian is someone who believes in a few more laws than an anarchist.
