Whoa! First things first. The Libertarian party is the third largest party. It represents far more than .000005% of the population. Equating Libertarianism with Nazi-ism greatly erodes my respect for any comments that follow. Libertarians are all about freedom, the Nazis were certainly not that. This is a ridiculous and offensive analogy. I think as a German I am disgusted, as a Jew I would be appalled. Where is this coming from? Somebody must have laced some bad $#!^ in your $#!^ or something.

The Majority would like to think they are correct. The majority of German's were aware of them, yet didn't oppose Hitler's actions. The majority think they are normal! The majority believe in gods. Do you really want to be part of such an inept, unthinking group? Screw the majority! Libertarians make too much sense to ever gain control. The corporations that orchestrated the recent election would never allow us to be free, I guess that is fine if you enjoy slavery.
Social programs foster reliance, not independence. I could understand supporting a legitimately disabled person but not any lazy slob who can't hold a job or doesn't like working, and I fall into that category myself.
As a poor person I should not be forced to pay for others when I can't make my own ends meet. As a wealthy person I should not have to bear any burden that is not shared by society as a whole, nor be brought to bear a disproportionate part of the load. Unfortunately, it seems that only those with money seem to see the inequity in that situation.
The fact remains that, unless you count prisons, Americans receive less for the taxes they are forced to pay than any other country. It is possible that the libertarian ideas may have to bend a little in some areas, but the current system is clearly more than a little bent. It is inappropriate to criticize the potential shortcomings of something that hasn't been tried while accepting the outright, dismal failure of the system at hand. We may not have all of the answers, but at least we have some viable alternatives to this corporate circle jerk which we are currently engaged in.
What is it about freedom that offends you? Is there any real point of Libertarianism that you can criticize or is this a general attack on things you don't fully understand?

Libertarians are practical; we know we can't make the world perfect. But, it can be better. Libertarians will keep working to create a better, freer society for everyone. As William Allen White said: "Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others."
