Neo-cons are really socialists in disguise

| May 18, 2015 8:13 PM

A misconception exists that conservatives are the group threatening control and fascist policies, when in fact it is progressive policy and thinking that promotes regulation of movement, action, and thinking towards a narrow politically correct scope.

Neo-conservatives are really Trotsky socialists using the term as a mask.

This legislative session, a band of Republicans in the Legislature voted against the party platform and bills that would expand freedom in Montana. They rebranded themselves: “main street,” “responsible,” “independent,” or “centrist” as a mask to hide what they truly are: “progressive.”

Constitutionalists urge “conservation” of the spirit and structure that expanded freedom to all, and liberation from tyranny of elite, monarchs, or other overlords.  Reference: Declaration of Independence.

Progressives are the new overlords — dictating and regulating every aspect of life according to a constantly shifting politically correct paradigm — which serves to confuse those who are ensnared, rendering them inadequate to discern the trap in which they have been caught.

Often, when recognized that they are “trapped,” denial becomes the “norm,” bigotry rears its ugly head, and the duped refuse to admit they were “had,” or that they were wrong. That is the quintessential mark of “a bigot” — one who, when faced with facts and/or truth, refuses to “see” — or put another way, someone who does not see unless he/she believes.

Dictatorship follows “progressivism,” as EVERY “other group” becomes “suspect” if it questions THE group in charge. We are in a death spiral, thanks to proud leftist progressives, and their leaders. —Lark Chadwick, Thompson Falls
