Entry: Right Face!

Neocons, if you will.>> Mr Purcell, interesting comment, but I must disagree, if only slightly. To take an occult Catholic religion with which I am at least somewhat familiar, the worship of "Santa Muerte", it seems not to interfere with the cultural Catholicism of the people, as opposed to the interference of cultural conservatism that the neoconservative movement produces. My point is occultic religious practices don't seem to, in my experience, at least, have the same kind of detrimental effect on the dominant "host culture", if you will, that the occultic neoconservative movement does on it's truly conservative "host culture". Perhaps it is that the practitioners of the occultic religious traditions do so in private, whereas the neoconservatives, being part of The Revolution, insist on spreading their "errors" into the "host community".
