I'm a libertarian. I'm not a liberal. Let's get that straight. I'm a libertarian.
The comedian and talk show host identifies as libertarian while holding some progressive views. Maher’s libertarianism centers on civil liberties, free speech, and opposition to religious influence in government, though he supports some government economic intervention, placing him lower on the economic freedom scale than many libertarians. His criticism of political correctness and defense of controversial speech have made him an unexpected ally for libertarians on social freedom issues, even as he diverges from libertarian orthodoxy on economic policy.
