Wagner & Rushdoony
Rushdoony wanted to institute stoning, or other capital punishments mentioned in the Bible such as burning at the stake, for a range of misdeeds including female premarital sex, homosexuality, idolatry, blasphemy, and witchcraft. Rushdoony also espoused a radical form of theocratic libertarianism "which would dramatically reduce the federal government and control society through enforcement of biblical law at the local and state levels" according to researcher Rachel Tabachnick. Rushdoony's vision, which would dismantle most federal social services and regulatory functions, and curtail federal support for labor rights, appears manifested in New Apostolic Reformation attacks on labor unions and national health care reform While he has recently sought to downplay the political ambitions of his movement, at a 2008 New Apostolic Reformation conference Wagner declared,
"Dominion has to do with control. Dominion has to do with rulership. Dominion has to do with authority and subduing and it relates to society. In other words, what the values are in Heaven need to be made manifest here on earth. Dominion means being the head and not the tail. Dominion means ruling as kings. It says in Revelation Chapter 1:6 that He has made us kings and priests - and check the rest of that verse; it says for dominion. So we are kings for dominion."
