Your Definition

One who wants to maximize individual liberty and mimimize the role of the state. ("Live and let live," so to say.)  Government should protect and preserve life, liberty, and property, as well as intervene in the events of force and fraud. (Force, however, is OK when somebody trespasses onto your property and/or initiates violence against you or a loved or defenseless one.)  On the issues (Thanks to the U.S. Libertarian Party's official website)...  1.  CRIME AND VIOLENCE:  Protect victims' rights.  End prohibition.  Get tough on real crime (ones with actual victims).  Protect the right to self-defense.  Address the root causes of crime.  2(a).  ENVIRONMENT - BASICS:  Abolish sovereign immunity for government officials.  Privatize "land and beast".  Use tort (restitution) as a deterrent and restorative.  2(b).  ENVIRONMENT - GLOBAL WARMING:  Utilize non-government ways to put a stop to the "problem" we've been hearing about.  3.  FAMILY BUDGETS:  Knock down income and property taxes so families can put more money into their bank accounts and piggy jars.  Utilize sales taxes to collect revenue.  4.  FOREIGN POLICY:  Non-interventionism.  Use deterrence, and only attack when actually threatened or attacked.  Free trade over foreign aid to help out developing nations.  No conscription, period.  5.  FREEDOM OF SPEECH:  No censorship, no subsidization.  Only intervene when there's coercion involved.  6.  GUN LAWS:  The right to bear arms.  Encourage gun ownership, and invest in education and training programs to promote responsible gun ownership.  7.  HEALTH CARE:  Establish Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs).  De-regulate the health care industry.  Remove barriers to safe, affordable medicines.  8.  INTERNET:  Stop censorship.  9.  IMMIGRATION:  To immigrants, no welfare.  And make sure you get screened for medical purposes and have had a police background check.  Then you can enter LEGALLY.  10.  POVERTY AND WELFARE:  End welfare.  Establish a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for contributions to private charity.  Tear down barriers to entrepreneurism and economic growth.  Reform education using the free market (or vouchers or tax credits).  11.  PRIVACY:  Repeal restrictions and regulations on the private development, sale, and use of encryption technology.  No court-issued warrant detailing the time, place, and area to be searched, no search.  No national ID card and no Social Security for ID purposes.  12.  SOCIAL SECURITY:  Sell all assets to make sure that America's promises are kept while pursuing IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) for the purpose of allowing citizens to control their own retirement.  13.  TAXES:  Privatize and cut taxes.  Get Germany and Japan off of military welfare.  Stop bailing out industries with taxpayers' money.  Replace welfare with private charity.  Sales taxes would be better than income and property taxes.
