They bring something to the political landscape few if any others do. That would be BRUTAL honesty. The kind you cannot evade or avoid.
Libertarians as a whole tend to be very well educated and skilled at debate. First and foremost in their arguments rend to be personal freedoms and how to extend them.
Second would personal accountability. You want it fine but YOU pay for it. Personal accountability cannot only be found in what you want to do but also what you have done.
That brings us to today's video. Setting ones sights on TRUE accountability AND the ethics that go with it. Libertarians do NOT give people passes based on economics or race. If ALL is not equal then ALL is not just.

If only Penn were representative of all who claim libertarianism. but he is not.
Most libertarians I've met are stuck with immature beliefs and a cultish attitude bordering on fascism
You, like many misuse the word "fascism". Fascism is a financial/political club of insiders.
What Hitler and Mussolini achieved to accelerate their abilities to make good on some of the more community and state promises to their constituents was "fascism". Fascism is not a cult or a religion. It is a means to an end. Consolidation of resources and manufacturing including banking services guaranteeing the players perpetual access to power. The closest our nation has come to an abuse of fascism was the rush to war during the Bush years after 9/11 and the no-bid contracts that were approved as the means to reward those companies that played along and helped promote the Bush/Cheney vision. The Bush program to accelerate money being plugged into faith based organizations was a clear example of fascism also. That was an obvious attempt to consolidate a guaranteed voter constituency by funneling funds into the caufers of his favorite religious organizations also giving the religists more say in the workings of FEMA and other charities.
"Fascism" has been misused to define aggressive and sometimes viscous sadistic behavior. It is also defined as hateful political action in broad strokes. It is anything but.
One could argue that the USA turned to fascist behavior in WWII by enlisting manufacturing with sweetheart deals that streamlined the war machine that eventually was the deciding factor in overwhelming the Germans. Italians and Japanese with an astonishing ability to produce war products, mainly weapons. So all in all fascism in itself is not a political or cultish thing. In the right hands and for the right reasons it was extremely useful.
