Libertarians contrast with the Republican and Democratic parties because the libertarian belief is that government should be minimized or eliminated in all areas, even those that they don't personally support, while other political parties tend to promote freedom in some issues but government control in others. While the Democratic party believes in freedom for matters of recreational drug use and the Republican party believes in the freedom to own guns, libertarians are typically against regulation for both issues.
Libertarians themselves do not all necessarily share equal standards for personal behavior (though some may be common), as their philosophy is based almost entirely on knowing when something isn't anybody else's business. For example, many do not think recreational drug use is a good idea, but do not want to enact laws making that choice for others.

Get the Faux-liberal mug.The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) is an armed group of radicalized terrorists which massacre innocent ethnic minorities across the Oromo region and sometimes invade the Amhara region killing innocent civilians. Many of their fighters have long dreadlocks and look like Rastas as a result, including their leader Jal Marroo who is mentally unstable. Innocent ethnic Amharas and other minorities suffer from daily massacres. Sadly a lot of Oromos from Minnesota support this terrorist group.
