Oh, the Claremont Institute are real winners, too. "The Benefits of Giving Wisely": Did you know you can support the Claremont Institute with gifts other than cash that will allow you to increase discretionary income, eliminate estate and capital gains taxes, and redirect tax dollars to the Claremont Institute? You can use your wealth to dodge taxes, give guys like Bill Bennett cushy Washington jobs, and make sure the deficit will bring the government down, all at the same time! From their About page: To recover the founding principles in our political life means recovering a limited and accountable government that respects private property, promotes stable family life, and maintains a strong national defense. So: pro-property, anti-gay, and pro-war. Those are the founding principles they most fervently like; the rest are inconsequential. Also, they have two other sites; Victory Over Terror (avot.org, which seems to be down at the DNS level) and Missile Threat. So all in all, these guys are pretty much responsible for everything that's worst in American politics right now, and it really, really pisses me off that CNN publishes this screed as written by a "CNN Contributor" instead of "paid political shill for the oligarchy", which would be a lot more honest. Grar!
