Richman ignores Libertarian Movement his

Sheldon Richman has this entirely bass ackwards. It's non-interventionist - read pacifist views that are entirely inconsistent with libertarianism.  
 
Islamo-Fascists seeks to outlaw free speech, cut off the genitals of gays, jail marijuana smokers for life, and force women to wear ugly burqas from head to toe. How is that consistent with libertarian socially tolerant views. 
 
Richman is completely ignorant of libertarian movement history. 
If he knew even the slightest bit about the libertarian movement he would know that Barry Goldwater is considered to be the Movement's Iconical Founder, and Dana Rohrabacher it's political founder. Both were (are) stridently Pro-Defense. 
 
Even the Libertarian Party's First Presidential candidate John Hospers was/is a member of the Libertarian Defense Caucus (Libertarian Hawks). 
 
Today's top Libertarians are mostly all Pro-Defense: Larry Kudlow, PJ O'Rourke, Neal Boortz, Larry Elder and Dennis Miller.  
 
Only nutty extremists like Richman, and Ron Paul take the pacifist unlibertarian view.
