There is so much political division in the United States today that many citizens aren't behaving rationally. The level of discourse is poor, and the negativity is rampant. At such a pivotal point, the majority of Americans may agree on only one thing. Congress is dysfunctional. They blame both Republicans and Democrats. The Maryland Libertarian Party, is one group that hopes the division will convince independents to take a serious look at its platform.
Most Americans are unsure exactly who Libertarians are and what they stand for. Many who think they do know something about the beliefs and values of Libertarians are wrong. The cornerstone of this group is individual freedom. Libertarians believe in limited government. They want politicians to stay out of all aspects of their lives.
This group is not interested in Republicans who believe they can legislate morality. They aren't interested in Democrats who believe in subsidizing the underprivileged with their money. Libertarians advocate for legalization of drugs and free trade. They are not in favor of campaign finance reform.
On social issues Libertarians are liberal. They're strong believers in personal choice. The group doesn't think the federal government has any business deciding who consenting adults can marry or formalize relationships with. They don't think individuals charged with drug possession and use should be prosecuted because Libertarians consider these offenses victimless crimes. They believe the capital punishment should be put on hold indefinitely.
When it comes to economics Libertarians are conservative. They are not believers in regulation, and think open competition between businesses is the best policy. If they were in power they would dismantle Social Security and eliminate the Internal Revenue Service and income taxes. Libertarians don't think it's the federal government's business to bailout the under served. It is their belief that a free market society would pressure individuals to contribute to charities and other organizations that could meet these needs.
The group has gone back and forth on the subject of abortion. A few years ago, the platform was pro-abortion declaring that the government had no right to interfere with an individual's personal decision in this matter. Recently it has taken a more centrist stance. One proposed platform states that taxpayers should not bear the expense of an individual's personal decisions. The group has proposed the elimination of regulations restricting access to over-the-counter contraceptives.
The party is isolationist when it comes to foreign affairs. Libertarians believe the United States armed forces should be maintained solely as form of national defense. They don't want the military deployed to any other part of the world for any reason because it is their belief that it's not the job of the United States to police the rest of the world.
Libertarians do not believe in giving foreign aid. They would eliminate any security clearances that restrict access to information they believe American citizens have a right to. The Libertarian Party is non-interventionist, economically conservative, and socially liberal.
