26-08-2012 19:37 Dusty Smith explains why Libertarianism is an ideology of suffering and death. I was much nicer than I could have been. I did not even attack the selfish Ayn Rand Libertarian cunt wing of the party, because I don't think most people who call themselves "Libertarians" even know about how these terrible ideas ever came to be in the first place. In my observation, most people who call themselves Libertarians really don't even know what the core Libertarian policies are. There are some good points to Libertarianism, but the bad outweighs the good so much that it's not even close. I shot an hours worth of footage and had so much to say about this, but i cut it down to 7 minutes. So I know I missed a ton of points, but you guys can discuss all that yourselves. The shirt I am wearing is available at . We have a nice selection of Atheists Tees, so please support this channel and pick up one.
