Libertarianism

Libertarians are often confused with Anarchists because both have anti-government and pro-individual views. These opinions are reinforced when the party 's primary election issues seem to revolve around what the government shouldn 't be doing, as opposed to what it can do to make the country, and even the world, a better place. For example, ask any Libertarian and they will tell you that a strong federal government is crucial to the protection of life and liberty. Where Libertarians veer away from the other major political parties is that we believe the military should only be used when the nation is in immediate peril and not for “police actions” or “nation-building.”

libertarian party was founded by David Nolan in 1971 and the Green party was founded in 1984 by Howie Hawkins. The reason for political parties of political parties is to join people who hold similar points of view about the government together. They bring to the table justice and a working

We further acknowledge our heritage as a Christian nation as confirmed by the U.S… Supreme Court when it ruled in 1892” (Eby). The Christian Liberty Party founded by William C. Goodloe in 1992, and Dan Eby in 2000 (The Politics and Governance Portal). The ultra-conservative party’s ideology is based on the tenets of Christianity (The Politics and Governance Portal). It seeks to frame national political debates, and thereafter, the governing of the nation, under the principles of Christianity and the words of the Bible (The Politics and Governance Portal). In 1992 they were known as the American Heritage Party, in 1998 they switched to Washington Taxpayers Party, and finally in 2010 they became the Christian Liberty Party (The Politics and Governance Portal). This

The party that I researched was that Libertarian Party. The party website says, “we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others” (Libertarian Party. n.d.). In short the party wants America to be free again. They want the American people to have freedoms and these freedoms not taken away by the government. Some rights that the government can not take according to the Libertarian Party are; the right to life, the right to liberty of speech and action, and the right to property. They believe that the government can not tell a person who they can and cannot marry, that the government can not spy on the American people, that government should be kept out of abortion rights, they believe in a free market, they also believe that America should “mind their own business” so to speak and stay out of foreign affairs, but defend our land from terrorist from within it’s own borders. The type of people that the Libertarian Party seems to attract are people who are tired of “BIG BROTHER” running everything and allowing more freedoms back to the American people. I feel like the Libertarian Party has remained a minor force in politics because other higher power parties having more

A stereotypical libertarian would be a guy around the age of 18 to 22. These men feel the need to have a controversial opinion like “Legalize Recreational Heroin”, “Taxation is Theft”, or some other outlandish statement. This group only identifies as libertarians because libertarians are obviously secret liberals or conservatives trying to pander to the other side. Libertarians are hardcore capitalists, and borderline anarcho-capitalists, with no care for poor people, because in the words of Ron Swanson, a fictional character on the show Parks and Recreations,“ Capitalism: God’s way of determining who is smart and who is poor.” Obnoxiousness is in the blood of a libertarian because libertarians obviously know what's best for America and everyone

The Libertarian Party was formed in Colorado Springs by a group that was led by

Gary Johnson is a candidate representing the libertarian party during this election. Libertarians are a political party that believes in an autonomous system; a people-centered approach to politics. Libertarians believe the only influence government should hold is to provide individuals assistance to defend his or herself from force and fraud (Libertarian Party, n.d.).. Gary Johnson served two terms as governor of New Mexico under the republican party. He declared himself a libertarian in 2011, and represented the party in 2012 election, and now the 2016 election. His chosen vice presidential candidate is Bill Weld, with whom he plans on sharing the position of power with “About: Meet Gary Johnson and Bill Weld” (2016).

Very rarely do third party candidates poll more than 10 percent but Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, is doing just that (Russonello). The Libertarian party as a whole has seen a recent rise in recent elections with Gary Johnson being the first third party candidate to be on the ballot in all 50 states in 20 years (Tau). Despite the general public confusion on them their ideology is quite simple. The general idea is that Libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Britannica defines Libertarians as, “classical liberals who strongly emphasize the individual right to liberty.” (Encyclopedia Britannica). It is ultimately about giving people the liberty to do what they want without hurting other people.

It’s election year. Most people believe that there are only two choices when voting for a political office: Republicans or Democrats. I am here to tell you that they are wrong. There are other choices, and I prefer the Libertarian Party. I believe the Libertarian Party should be promoted to show people that they have more than two options. The Libertarian Party is the only party that leads towards freedom instead of big government.

A small amount of the core ideals of libertarians has changed. According to the current Libertarian Party website; “We seek a world of liberty; the world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.” This party is notorious for values that are socially liberal, and economically conservative. This platform has also been referred to as neoliberalism. The United States Libertarian party focuses on personal liberty, self-ownership, privacy, economic liberty, free markets, protected environments, strong national defense, and minimal war actions. The LP is supportive of gay rights, gun rights, pro-life ideals. They stand against labor unions; universal health care, restricted markets, government surveillance of citizens, and government provided security. Libertarians like to think of themselves as defensive whenever it comes to foreign policy, and to refrain from attacking unless they are

The 1964 election, which concluded in a victory for Lyndon B. Johnson, had far more deeper effects on the Republican Party than what is seen on the surface. This was the first Presidential election in which states considered Democratic strongholds, particularly in the south, went to Republican challenger Barry Goldwater. An explanation for this enigma was the growing presence of a new form of conservatism developing during this period. This new form of conservatism combined several schools of thought, ranging from libertarianism to social conservatism. Since it was Barry Goldwater that brought this new form of conservatism into the mainstream, both those on the left and on the right have called Barry Goldwater

The Objectivist Party, founded February 2, 2008, was the creation of lawyer Tom Stevens to honor the ideals of Objectivism in the political sphere. These ideals were forged in the fictional writings of Ayn Rand, a Russian born philosopher. The party stands for devout libertarianism, completely centering its platform around the individual and one’s rights to life, thought, property, and self-protection.

The libertarian party was originated in Westminster, Colorado and was found in 1971 by David Nolan. This party is the only political party that respects individual rights in a unique way. They are known for party of principles which is a representation of the principles of an individuals’ rights if its honest and peaceful not interfering or harming other individuals’. They give the individuals rights by limiting the government so they don’t interfere in a negative way. This is illustrated by personal, economical, and security liberty.

Marxism are set of views acknowledged by many individuals and a lot of views presented in works of other authors are often compared to the ideas that of Karl Marx. Here, the idea presented by George Bernard Shaw in his play is compared to Marx’s ideas on Marxism and social hierarchy relationship. There exists a relationship between the viewpoints of Karl Marx and George Bernard Shaw in the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The interpretation of the social hierarchy by each author disagrees with one another. With these circumstances, Marxist theorists will admonish the idea portrayed in the play because of contradicting interpretation that

The political ideology that best represents my views is liberalism. Liberalism is an ideology that emphasizes, “cultural diversity, government programs for the needy, public intervention in the economy, and individuals’ rights to a lifestyle based on their own social and moral positions” (Morone & Kersh, 2014, p. 37). In other words, liberalism promotes government assistance for individuals in need as well as protect every individual’s rights.
