PFAW - Free Congress Research and Education Foundation

(emphasis mine)
Quote from Free Congress Foundation:

�The [Free Congress] Foundation has proposed a new strategy to deal with America�s cultural disintegration: cultural independence. Instead of trying to retake existing cultural institutions from the forces of Political Correctness, we propose that cultural conservatives should build their own separate, parallel institutions. This is already occuring [sic] in primary and secondary education through the home schooling movement. The Foundation seeks to promote similar efforts in respect to every major cultural insitution [sic] , including higher education, the media, entertainment, and high culture including art, architecture and music. While these would begin as institutions for a cultural minority, their success would over time make traditional Western culture once again the majority American culture.� --�A Short History of Cultural Conservatism,� by William Lind, Director of The Center for Cultural Conservatism.

The Untold Story Behind The American Legislative Exchange (ALEC)

The American Legislative Exchange Council was originally the brainchild of conservative activist and culture warrior Paul Weyrich, a onetime journalist who later coined the term �Moral Majority� for evangelist Jerry Falwell. Weyrich�s original vision was to bring together state legislators who were energized by such social issues as the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion rights and concerned about what they saw as an overbearing, over-regulating, and over-taxing government.

CHRISTIAN RESCUE BY PROXY By Deacon Paul M. Weyrich

If self-professed Christian believers would participate in the elections, and if they informed themselves about the issues, they could make the difference in virtually any election at every level.

I know a little bit about this guy but I'm sure there is a lot in the reading you have found for me that I didn't know. He was born and raised here in Racine. I'm soooo fuckin proud of the sonofabitch. He is very bright. He was an honor graduate of the local Catholic High School. I don't recall where he went to college. The local paper had a very laudatory article on him within the last year. I neglected to clip it but I may still be able to get a copy.

I paid them $2.95 to download the "islamisathreat" file but I can't open the file. It's supposed to open with I.E. but doesn't. If I open it with Word or Word Pad it comes up in machine language. Subversive Bastards.

Fortunately, it's time for my martini. Doctors orders.

It was probably a .pdf file, which opens with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
