Libertarians believe in SELF-government, and in personal freedom. Governments in general are a necessary evil, to be tolerated and strictly limited. Personal freedom should to be maximized.

In general, a Libertarian will generally disagree with the statement "There ought to be a law...." Most laws are BAD laws, even the necessary ones.

Libertarians believe in personal responsibility for their own actions.

What is libertarians stand on global warming?

Libertarians in general do not support solving the global warming problem by way of government action for several reasons. The biggest reason is that government action generally has unintended consequences, especially in this case where government action would mean more taxes, more regulations etc. But also some libertarians are skeptical that man can even do anything to solve the global warming problem because some do not believe man has really contributed to the problem in a big way. Although libertarians are generally pro-science, they are also generally skeptical, especially of anything supported by the government.

What are the policies of the Libertarian Party?

In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).Carried forward, Libertarians generally support gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians.
