Is the growing movement of political do-it-yourselfers a cause for optimism among libertarians? Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie join Trevor Burrus and Jason Kuznicki for a freewheeling discussion about the modern political scene in America. Welch and Gillespie have noted an emerging group of people who, having been accustomed to a panoply of choice in every other aspect of their lives, are abandoning America's two-party system in droves. Is this growing movement of independents a cause for optimism among libertarians? Are we in for a better, more libertarian era than ever before? Or should we be skeptical of this kind of optimism, given the growth of the federal government in recent years? Download the .mp3: http://bit.ly/1hXGbD9 Subscribe in iTunes: http://bitly.com/18wswtX
