The vast majority of people I have met that claim to be libertarian (political philosophy) or Libertarians (political party holding to the libertarian political philosophy) know more about the meanings of political philosophies than proclaimed liberals or conservatives (Democrats and Republicans, respectively).
With the lies and propaganda literally spewing out from either party, how can anyone blame them? And furthermore, how am i suppose to know if they understand what libertarian means, its their own choice so only they would know.
