Libertarians are unpopular because they threaten the status quo of the United States two party system. The Republican and Democratic parties essentially "own" the political landscape, supported by followers who with religious conviction demonize anyone not like them.
Ironically, it is the libertarians who are most like the founding fathers who valued individual liberty and responsibility while limiting the power and focus of government.
Sadly, the United States is in deterioration due to the over reaching agendas of both Democrats and Republicans who require votes and contributions to maintain power thereby forcing an ever expanding vortex of bigger government & higher taxes.
Libertarians understand the waste and threat of an ever expanding government.

In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).Carried forward, Libertarians generally support gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians.
