The Libertarian political philosophy is one which is not readily understood, or even widely discussed, among the major part of politically minded individuals in the United States. 
 Some view it as a mere offshoot of the Republican party, and more generally, the conservative philosophy, but an honest surveyor of history would have to conclude that, indeed, the conservative philosophy is itself an offshoot of a more historically rooted philosophy concerning the nature of “liberty” which would find it’s first modern expression in the minds and deeds of our Founding Fathers and their subsequent formation of the republic of the United States. 
 The basic thrust of the libertarian philosophy is that any aspect of law, from the most clear-cut legal matters such as rape and murder, to the more complex issues such as drug use, homosexuality and abortion, can be broken down to a simple matter of basic property law; namely, “Who’s property rights take precedence?” 
 If none of this makes sense just yet then please, continue reading.  With this book, I will attempt to de-mystify the libertarian philosophy for the political layman, as well as for those who may not yet have considered the solid logical and philosophical basis for some of the most commonly misunderstood libertarian beliefs, the foremost of which pertain to laws and statutes concerning the use of drugs, homosexual activity, and other more general laws and statutes concerning consensual conduct which is engaged in in the privacy of one’s home. 
 I will also attempt to address the major ideological split among libertarians concerning the delicate issue of abortion rights, as well as why this internal split can appear so confusing to those not familiar with the libertarian philosophy. I’ll also give my own personal take on the issue of abortion and why I believe that unborn children at any stage of development are legally entitled to life. 
 I will then present a detailed overview of the differing governmental principles to which the other major political movements in our country adhere, and attempt to put forth an explanation as to why most of the basic underlying assumptions expressed in these principles are fundamentally flawed. 
 To conclude, we will explore why I believe that libertarianism, at it’s most basic, is fundamental to the nature of Biblical Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is my assertion that the concept of human liberty finds it’s birthplace not in the fairly recent founding of the United States, but rather in the laws handed down to Moses by God and first observed by the Jewish people in the land of Israel thousands of years ago. 
 But enough of this talk of what I’m going to say. How’s about I just go ahead and say it?
