Stereotypical Libertarian

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

Living in the United States some people may forget how closely our political perspectives are to each other relative to those of foreign countries. While there are many political views and stances that an individual might take on any given topic, generally people in the United States fall into one of three categories: liberals, conservatives, and libertarians. Keep in mind that most people will not support all of the ideals of their advocated faction, but they must support the vast majority of them.

People who have a mix of conservative and liberal views that don’t fit neatly onto the one-dimensional political spectrum, such as libertarians;

2 They are speaking to an audience that includes Millennials but mainly addresses the older generations that are involved in politics. This large audience is unaware that “[Millennials] are realists who recognize that a level of subjectivity is necessary for the punishment to fit that crime” (Cahn, 216.) This directly appeals to those involved in politics because it shows that Millennials are not fighting for the legalization without logical reason. The structure of their argument is based on the underlying assumption that the war on drugs is a misuse of time and money. Their argument is

A good example is the Marijuana legalization society (Jones 4). Since marijuana is illegal in Texas, I would also not condone it. Another particular group of interest that might not be keen to support is the same gender society and the betting individuals. While they may be legal, there is usually a negative stereotype of these interest groups. Furthermore, since I would join the Republicans, most Democrats would most likely be against me. My campaign slogan would be "Remember, you matter." Reason being, the adage people care how much you care about them is frankly right. My campaign sign would be similar to the one

Some prohibitionists just believe that drugs are immoral. An extremely outspoken opponent of decriminalizing drugs is William J. Bennett who said, “Law enforcement is not a political option or a policy question; it is a moral imperative” (Gottfried 76). Prohibitionists also believe if drugs were made legal they would be cheaper and more readily available and they are afraid that children could be at risk (Gottfried 77).

A large majority of the previous presidents have fell into similar categories across the board. They have been republican white males in their 50’s who are attorneys from the east coast. Though they all have very similar demographics, the specific qualities and beliefs they possess have the potential to effect the nation.

The United States Marijuana party is a political party which was founded by Loretta Nall. The United States Marijuana party’s mission is to fight for freedom to both consume and grow marijuana/hemp, stop drug tests for marijuana, and asking to release all prisoners who have been convicted by any charge related to marijuana. The Marijuana party appeals to all users who wish for freedom to use marijuana, which has recently reached 20 million supporters.

The leaders of this organization, the students who founded it, thought that as a new organization they cannot spend their entire savings trying to lobby and persuade elected leaders. So, they decided to convene pacific rallies in days and places to get the attention of the media (TV and radio), so their words are spread all over the state and beyond. At the same time, the organization started to research about the different elected leaders to find who has the kind of ideology that supports their interests, and throughout social media and the rallies that they will carry out, they will catch the attention of this elected leader who will support their cause.

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

For some people this is not a problem, and is actually appreciated. While others feel that the government is too involved in citizens’ lives. Government’s involvement in the drug war causes conflicts in the left and right side. The right side, or the conservative party, has always been vocal about their disdain of a big scope of government. So, it should not come to a surprise that there are conservatives who feel that the war on drugs is not only a waste of resources, but encroaches on people’s rights. Anthony Gregory, a research fellow, quotes Ron Paul saying “Oh, yeah, I need the government to take care of me. I don't want to use heroin, so I need these laws.” Ron Paul, a conservative icon, made that statement at a Republican primary debate where he compared the freedom of drug use to the freedom of religion. This is not the only amendment that republicans feel has been violated by the drug war. Gregory observes that drug policies correlates with gun rights. For example, the National Firearms Act of 1934, Gun Control Act of 1968, and 1990 Crime Control Act all lists a person’s ability to require a gun by drug use. Even though layman republicans are staunchly against the decriminalization of drugs according to polls, republicans blame the left party for the government involvement. Regardless, no matter which party is to blame, the drug war causes a tension to rise in the conservative party that tears

One of the most popular controversys that even the Founding Fathers of America have been debating about since 1776 is the most just way of running the U.S Government. Even today, it has not been thoroughly established which principal regarding Utility, freedom, or equality is the most significant aspect of the U.S government. However, freedom has always been the most popular right that every American constantly struggle to fight for. The Principle of Libertarianism is the individual right that everyone is entitled to and shall not be interfered by governments policy or regulations, as long as these individual rights would not harm others as well. Considering the principle of Libertarianism, it does cater to the American People by not only allowing individual rights that may protect the people from government corruption but also help benefit the economy of America in which demands from the people are met and that brings the greatest happiness for everyone. Although, Libertarianism can not perfectly serve every aspect of a just government, it should still be the most prioritized principal of the U.S government because overall it benefit the most civilians compare to the other two principals.

Libertarianism is a concept that believes man is an autonomous being who operates independently and is not controlled by anything (no strings attached). For this essay I will choose to stand by and argue for compatibilism.

Due to the weak state our of economy over the past several years, many organizations and movements have surfaced in order to attempt to make a change to better our country. One of those organizations is the Tea Party and their movement. The Tea Party movement is an effective political force in our society because it is respectable, organized, and focused on common issues.

Legalization or decriminalization of marijuana is opposed by a vast majority of American’s and people around the world. Leaders in Marijuana prevention, education, treatment, and law enforcement adamantly oppose the substance, as do many political leaders. However, pro-drug advocacy groups, who support the use of illegal drugs, are making headlines. They are influencing decision making thru legislation and having a significant impact on the national policy debate here in the United States and in other countries. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is the oldest drug user lobby in the U.S. It has strong ties to the Libertarian party, the Drug Policy Foundation, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
