Libertarian Party

The Libertarian party got a little more national recognition during the last presidential election. I think this is probably because most of the Republicans (who, really have the most in common with the Libertarians) were not happy with their presidential choice. Heck, some of the democrats were even interested in Barr, the Libertarian presidential candidate.

I’m not going to get into whether or not Barr would have been a better president, because we should support who we have. BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about the next election! If you are unfamiliar with the Libertarian party here are a few highlights on the politics to get you started.

It’s all about individual liberty and limited federal government interference. Pretty much, they stick to the Constitutional basics and revert decisions to the individual or the state whenever possible. I really like the idea of smaller government that the Libertarian party represents. I think that almost every time the government gets super involved in something….well it doesn’t go all that well in the long run. History teacher here folks, I’ll back it up if you want I’m not saying government bad…I’m saying big government not so great. Unfortunately, the Libertarian party has a long way to go before they are truly going to be players on the national field.

What do you think of the Libertarian party??
