You believe in maximizing individual freedom and limiting government intervention to create a prosperous and self-reliant society.
Libertarian conservatism is a political ideology that combines conservative policies with libertarian philosophies. Its advocates believe in minimal government intervention in both economic and personal affairs, emphasizing free market capitalism, individual liberty, and limited government. This ideology is rooted in classical liberalism and the American conservative tradition, with influences from libertarianism and modern-day conservatism.

What does 'the pursuit of happiness' mean to you in the context of personal and economic freedom?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
Pursuit of happiness means exactly what Thomas Jefferson meant it to mean – private property rights and the freedom to do what you will with your property.
@9K9N6V32mos2MO
Pursuit of Happiness means that all American Citizens have the right to do whatever makes them happy or whatever suits their best interests(personally and economically), as long as it is within the parameters of the law and does not harm others or effect others in a negative way.
@9K9MKP9Republican2mos2MO
Can do what makes me happy without havin to look over my shoulder
@9K9MHTB2mos2MO
The thing that brings you the most happiness in life.

How might your approach to education change if it was solely based on free-market principles?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
When thinking about your privacy rights, how do you balance them against the potential need for government surveillance?
@9L2LMKN2mos2MO
Libertarians are self-serving idiots, surveillance is needed to to keep the general populace safe. There have to be limits of course, but it is absolutely necessary.
@9L2NYT82mos2MO
In a fully libertarian yet capitalist world, greed and hate can result in people stripping away others' civil liberties

@9L2LTSR2mos2MO
There has to be a line drawn that the government cannot cross unless there is a legal need to.
@9L2LNKW2mos2MO
Have the government ask for information on suspected individuals, do not give them outright access
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How much government control do you think is necessary for ensuring public safety and well-being?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
Very, very little. Only things that are necessary are enforcement of contracts, laws against crimes, a police force, and a military.
@9HCSK2V5mos5MO
Both parties should have equal representation in the government.
@9HCR2H95mos5MO
I think a little more than keeping the peace is enough. It keeps the peace and well being of the country but it does not give the government too much power.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would your friendships change if government surveillance diminished and privacy increased?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
I would be a happier person, so I'd probably make more friends
@9KM9JJM2mos2MO
my friendships wouldn't really change if that happened
@9KM8MZ42mos2MO
My friendships would grow because we would feel free to speak our minds
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What's an area in your life where you wish there was less government involvement, and why?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
Taxation (which is, to say, THEFT) If government stopped taxing people, we'd be the most prosperous, freest society on earth again.
@9CJ6CB62mos2MO
do I have to explain surplus value theft again?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
No, because its' a myth
@9CJ6CB62mos2MO
Precisely the same logic is used for taxation, and fixing surplus value theft fixes taxes entirely, so please, tell me how exactly this is a myth.

How would you cope if a public service you rely on became privatized and costs increased?
@9HWKNTBLibertarian4mos4MO
I would be upset but you Shays find ways to adjust. Have to cut the costs out of something else.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If public schools were entirely self-funded, how do you think that would affect the education system?
@9KYKXKK2mos2MO
I think that more rich neighborhoods would have nicer schools and less rich would have less care.
@9KYKPVD2mos2MO
Schools would not have as much money to provide students with the necessary school supplies, nor would they have money to put on shows or interesting activities for the students.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What personal experiences have shaped your understanding of freedom and its limits?
@9JCHZKRIndependent4mos4MO
Our country is in shambles with many businesses and political choices being influenced by the feelings of a small but loud group of "victims" creating rift between people who just want to live and people who will blame everyone but themselves.
@9JCHC6J4mos4MO
Personal Experiences such as being allowed to do something and being restricted to not doing something have helped me understand the amount of freedom that the US has given it's citizens. It allows it's citizens to have enough freedom to be satisfied, but not enough so they can start abusing it and every gets out of control.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you think reduced government employment would impact job opportunities in your field of interest?
@9L4MLSV1mo1MO
I don't think it would impact it much since my field of interest is dance and the arts.
it will ruin the payment of many people some wouldn't.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Describe a situation where you feel collaboration in your community has been more effective than government-led initiatives.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
Building neighbourhood roads. I feel much happier about funding road construction – even enthusiastic about it – when I am voluntarily choosing to do it, rather than having my money stolen from me by the government to fund a road I don't want. But if the neighbourhood all chips in – private road construction.
@9HVTQWPWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
I think when it comes to the maintenance of the community and the structures within it. I think people within are doing a great job with that.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can there be too much individual freedom, and if so, what's an example that concerns you?
@9HRDKK2Women’s Equality4mos4MO
yes, people take a lot of stuff for granted and take what they have and abuse it
@9HRDHTW4mos4MO
In order for individual freedom to be viable again, individuals must first take individual responsibility for their actions. We are long way from that as a society and heading i the wrong direction.
