Star Trek: The Libertarian Edition



In honor of Star Trek's 50th Anniversary, Reason presents the Libertarian parody of the final frontier, with appearances by Gary Johnson and Remy.

Disclaimer: There are a few brief anti-Hillary references, but it pokes the most fun at Libertarians so try to view it with a sense of humor. Thanks.

Oh and the "special effects" were very good!

Thom Hartmann likes to say that Libertarians are just Republicans who like to smoke dope and get laid. This pretty much covers it! Well done Reason!

I got halfway through before I decided I had much better things to do, like clip my toenails.

7. So, because the captain in the 70 yr old uniform can't get nonpasturized milk out of the replicator

It follows that he can order his weapons to be locked and fired on the headquarters of the democratically elected government of the Federation.

See, that's the problem with libertarians: they get so incensed about the meaningless slights of modern life they confuse as "authoritarian dictates", they think that imposing their own authoritarian dictatorship is a reasonable course of action.

Not to mention Libertarian Kirk doesn't understand that any milk coming out of a replicator would have never even seen the inside of a cow.
