A right-wing populist program, then, must concentrate on dismantling the crucial existing areas of State and elite rule, and on liberating the average American from the most flagrant and oppressive features of that rule. In short:source

4 Take Back the Streets: Crush Criminals. And by this I mean, of course, not "white collar criminals" or "inside traders" but violent street criminals – robbers, muggers, rapists, murderers.

5 Take Back the Streets: Get Rid of the Bums. Again: unleash the cops to clear the streets of bums and vagrants. Where will they go? Who cares? Hopefully, they will disappear, that is, move from the ranks of the petted and cosseted bum class to the ranks of the productive members of society.
I don't know what libertarians mean by "liberating the average American from the most flagrant and oppressive features of that rule", but if this is part of the program, I can guarantee that they are not thinking of the same things I am. Fascism, it seems, is freedom.

Rothbard was so despicable. Perhaps you've seen his quotes on abortion as well? He doesn't even bother to deny the humanity of the baby. Rather he likens the baby to a vagrant tenant.

I cannot understand why so many traditional Christians I have met (mostly Catholic) idolize him. His philosophy is outright satanic.
