The Libertarian Party is the party of peaceful persuasion. Libertarians do not believe in the initiation of force as a means to achieve political or social goals. Libertarians believe that the only legitimate use of force is for self-defense, or to defend others against attack, but never to gain personal wealth or political power. Libertarians uphold persuasion above force as the best path to social change, saying that if you want something done, you must do it yourself, or persuade others to do it for you, without using force or government coercion. The Libertarian Party is the party of honesty, always holding true to their basic principles and never attempting to curry favors by lying or hiding their beliefs.
Libertarians believe that honesty is always the best policy.
We refuse to lie about what we really believe. So, we just tell it like we think it is, and leave it up to reality to decide whether we are right or wrong. The Libertarian Party is the party with the innovative solutions to solve America's most pressing problems. Real solutions based on principles to make our streets safer and our liberties more secure. Libertarians believe that, by letting the government take over our responsibility to educate our children, we have created a country where people are taught what to think rather than how to think.
