What does it mean to be "Libertarian"? I've gotten several messages requesting a video along these lines so I hope this fits the bill. How do you define Libertarianism? If a 70 second video is simply not enough info I recommend Marilee Haylock's What is Libertarianism? and of course http://lp.org '>http://lp.org America needs a new political voice. Americans need to reverse the unprecedented growth of the size and scope of our government. Americans need The Libertarian Party.What is a Libertarian?A Libertarian believes we should be free to control our own livesThat America needs to shift the power away from our centrally planned societyAnd return that power back to the individualLibertarians believe we need to empower citizensIn the defense of their rightsIn the defense of their livesIn the defense of their propertyNot restrict them with red tape or legislate them awayLibertarians feel government should act only as our servant and never as our master"The very concept of the individual is becoming obsolete."Marilee Haylock - What is Libertarianism?"I believe that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph again."George Orwell1984 was not an instruction manualJoin a party that puts your rights first!Join the Libertarian Party of America http://lp.org '>http://lp.org

Free Market for the White RIGHT to TAKE!"[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land ... ANY WHITE PERSON who brought the element of civilization had THE RIGHT TO TAKE over this continent."~AYN RAND, US Military Academy at West Point, March 6, 1974P.S.• Is "any white person's" right an individual or collective right?• Is "the right to take" a negative or positive right?

Your video fails to define what libertarianism is. Other ideologies could say exactly the same thing. They just disagree on how it can be done. For those who wanna know, libertarians think that the government should only be allowed to act when it prevents someone to attack someone else. Which usually means that their job only touches the defense and law enforcement. So for example the government should not, according to this ideology, do anything about healthcare or education.

Morals + logic = Libertarian Every citizen should have access to free pistol and shotgun home defense course paid for by their taxes which will also be a Conceal Carry class. (plenty of retired military / cops to train people) disband most of police force except for detectives & swat and have a militia which consist of anyone who wants to join.Your taxes are now being spent on something for you! and in doing this crime is reduced since people have full ability to defend one another.

Please consider temporarily switching party to vote for Ron Paul. He's the closest you'll ever get to getting your ideals enacted in USA. There's not much time.

If they're doing so much better why is the unemployment rate in Europe half again what it is in the U.S? Why do so many nations in Europe have to put 'austerity' measures in place? Why do so many nations require periodic bailouts because of their horrific debt situations that make the U.S look thrifty by comparison? Want a society that exists on libertarian principles? Check out the economy of Hong Kong. Little regulation, a token min wage, and its doing great.
