'''Libertarianism''' is a [[Political Philosophy|political philosophy]] that tends to oppose the rules established by traditional marriage and religious values.  A libertarian believes in minimizing or entirely eliminating government interventionism in all aspects of life; including economic, personal and in foreign policy matters.
