I'd be so much more likely to take the libertarians seriously if they weren't so fruitlessly dedicated to harboring the pronounced racist, neo-Confederate, conspiracy theorist, and mens rights advocate strains present in the movement. I've had to deal with so many libertarians trying to justify reallowing discrimination against minorities under the guise of "protecting individual liberties." Libertarianism just has nothing to offer to anyone who isn't a wealthy white male in a position of power.
