A.E. SamaanThere are those that want "freedom" from individual responsibility. Then there are those that want individual "liberty." I choose the latter. I am a Libertarian
About This Quote
The term Libertarian became popular with the American Civil War. During that war, many Northerners believed that they needed to separate from the Union and form their own nation. The doctrine of states rights was a belief that each state should control its own affairs and not infringe on those of other states. While some people still consider themselves to be states rights advocates, the modern definition of the term is someone who supports small government and personal freedom.
