1. Libertarianism is an interesting theory, but it doesn't feed the poor, the elderly,

the disabled or small children.

Libertarians cannot provide a social organization that protects the very weak. It is completely incompatible with either humanist or Judeo-Christian values. In fact, I don't think that a society that was organized (or disorganized) pursuant to Libertarian values has ever existed much less succeeded.

Let's remember, the numbers of homeless people increased many-fold under Reagan. That is a shameful reminder of the horror that results when Libertarians are included in a government.

2. Fail. Didn't make it to 3 minutes

Heard it all before, still smells like the same horseshit.
