Edit: To continue on Libertarianism, I've never quite understood it. To me it seems like an over glorified anarchy for people who don't to be judged as if they said they were anarchists.

Libertarianism is a very complex philosophical position that can essentially be summed up by stating that the human potential can be tapped best by offering the least resistance to individual liberty. It applies in foreign policy (commerce with all nations, alliance with none), civil liberties (libertarians are obviously big fans of civil liberties), and in economics (we tend to believe that barriers to the formation of business from the middle class through over-regulation, over-taxation, inflation, and misallocations of capital through government subsidies are the greatest barriers to growth.) A lot of libertarians believe that the state has a role in providing universal healthcare, others believe that the government has no role in healthcare whatsoever. It's a very diverse movement, but the most important aspects of it are the non-aggression principle and the idea that all associations must be voluntary.
