This fits what I see, at least.
My crazy conservative friend dreams of the day when his political opponents will all be sent to the mines. He's pro- "small government", but his ideal welfare system involves welfare only for people who are incapable of working and an incredibly large and intrusive government thug squad that goes around making absolutely sure that everyone on welfare is handicapped. He wants the government to help as few people as morally possible, and he's willing to have a huge (and expensive) government in order to make sure that nobody gets something nice that they don't deserve. He has a tendency to talk about everything good as "conservative" and everything bad as "liberal" (the war on drugs is liberal, for example).
His views on various issues sometimes change from day to day based on what sorts of attitudes he's primed to think about as (more or less) "American". Sometimes the bankers should all be executed, but sometimes taxes are too damn high and we're punishing success. Talking to him about the EU is always entertaining. European governments are pansy-ass socialists and the Muslims will take over someday soon, obviously, but people protesting what their governments are doing (anti-austerity protesters, for example) are likewise pansy-ass socialists. He hates how European governments coddle protesters instead of, basically, mowing them down, and he hates how the protesters are refusing to rise up in actual armed revolt. I get the strong impression that the first side to start the mass killing would thereby prove the worthiness of their cause.
