No one, NO ONE on this forum, is as PC ( their own brand ), code word / phrase addled, as the Libertarians are. Their methods are exactly the same ; from the ubicquitous " statist " , to chained, in chains, authoritarian, etc.! There is NO difference between their attacks , and the homophobe / racists / sexist gambit , to shut others up / change the subject. Instead of the touchy / feely , counter coulture " until you walk in my / their shoes " ( which, unfortunately, some FREEPERS ascribe to ) , they try to beat everyone else over the head with the Constitution.
The farther right one gets, the more LEFT one really is.
I am not a paleo. I am not a neo-con. I am not a libertarian. I prefer to think of myself as a traditional conservative.
However, that being said, I welcome all 3 of the above divergent strains of conservatism.
This forum, like many insitutions of "the right" seem to have been targetted for a take-over by the "neo-cons". It is only my own opinion of course, but the spiritual ancestor of the "neo-con" strain of conservatism, are the ex-Trotskyite intellectuals, primarily out of New York.
In their zeal to impose their own view of "conservatism", they remind me very much of the real deal Marxists, who, of course, banished and silenced, anyone who took a contrary opinion.
