Starting with just the basics, the very short Libertarian Party Statement of Principles, should be enough to clear up the matter. Where it says "we... deny the right of any government..." it means national, state or local. But if needed, a close examination of the LP platform will more than dispel this notion. The Libertarian Party is not a constitution party of any sort what so ever, nor is it a conservative party.

Thanks for the correction. I was going by statements that I had heard from or about Libertarians, and not the platform itself. I had read one rendition of it a few years ago, but I had not paid much attention to it since then.

Substance wise, the LP platform has not changed much over the years. Today's platform is a little less radical and a bit more conservative than it was 25 years ago. This lack of change is because Party is based upon the LP Statement of Principles, the main defining document of the party.
