See them for what they are … fascists

By Mike Weland

Oh, how I’d love to see a return to the halcyon days of American politics when most who sought or held office of public trust recognized that the word “public” was all inclusive. Back when loyalty was to the U.S. Constitution. Today, far too many in seats of power make no pretense of representing their constituents. They put on airs expressing their faith in the constitution but their actions and words … their lies, show them for what they are.

They call themselves conservatives, they are not. They call themselves Republicans. No again. We’ve seen them in the past and we know without question who they are, who and what it is they serve. We know. Yet we remain reluctant out of some notion of politeness to say it aloud, to call it out.

“We find ourselves in the middle of a dog fight! Far left socialists have fully hijacked the Democrat party and embraced a radical agenda that threatens our nation’ s safety, attacks our economy and destroys our trusted elections,” writes one.

With an intro like that, every rational reader has cause to reach for the hip waders after reading the next line, “Here are the facts.”

Russ Fulcher isn’t here to promote truth, justice or the American Way. He is here to impress, flatter and gain the favor of an incompetent conman who aspires to be king, who believes, as did Hitler, in party over all else, for he is the party.

They aren’t conservatives, they aren’t Republicans. They are fascists. We saw them rise in Italy and Germany in the 1920s-1930s. We saw our greatest generation stand resolute against them to protect at great cost the inherent and inalienable rights of men.

And now we seem to stand ready to give away to them our last best hope.
