Lest we be accused of misrepresenting their views, actual Libertarians have been kicking around this take on Somalia with a straight face for some time now. No shit: http://mises.org/story/2066

A more nuanced completely insane view is that Somalia has been awesome-ized by Anarchism, not Libertarianism. http://www.reason.com/blog/show/11751... Fair 'nuff, but as far as we can tell the difference between a Libertarian and an Anarchist usually seems to be a bachelor's degree.
So, it's fun to see folks like Glenn Beck eagerly veering into freaky yee-hah populist Libertarian zone. Go for it, guys. That's rebuilding the ol' brand.

A couple notes on music:
1. The music used in this video isn't Somali, or even close to it. It was, however, free to use. Gotta like that.
2. It's easy to hate on Ted Nugent for participating in Fox News Tea Party promotions, but in all sincerity: "Wango Tango" is a badass song, and it's hard to argue with his solo on "Stranglehold." Ted, we'll still gladly pay to see you at whatever State Fair you're playing next.

Stockie- Way to discuss without ever exposing your position. I would hazard a guess, but you strike me as the disingenuous type. Perhaps you've nothing better to offer?
Well he is a bona-fide wingnut. I have a difficult time understanding how well educated people can buy into the wingnut or libertarian bullshit without a second thought. They have the critical thinking skills to look up the real information for themselves but instead choose to swallow the effluvient of the GOP/RP nut p.r. machine.
"Actively opposing the notion of 'shared values' or the idea of 'the common good.' Is psychopathic behavior if you ask me... "
Good one robb. My wife's business partner is a wingnut and he was rabbling a while back about sending a copy of Atlas Shrugged stating that it would help us to understand him. I got a good laugh out of that.
Well, you know me, I'm no follower of the philosophy; but I believe -- if it's of the basic principles ICTN218 is talking about -- it's much more of a desirable opposition on policy issues than is the crazy-ass, god-based shit that calls itself the Republican Party.
In the end, of course -- and like in the Somalia Beaches vid -- we know what we'd get with Libertarians in charge.
''If you think that is trading true freedom for false security, so be it.''
So stop your simplified rethorical nonsense about ''Libertarianism is the radical idea that you don't own other people''. As long as you've got a society at all it will always work at a societial level, how much is just a matter of degree.

It's selfishness at its worst.
