Most people have never heard of them until recently. Just like we'd never heard of the Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, CATO Institute and other right wing institutions and lobbyists until recently. America is going to need to comes to terms with these people because the influence they have on American politics is starting to effect other countries. I'm Australian and like Canada, Japan, Mexico, Britain and others, America is our major trading and security partner. These people aren't simply a threat to American Democracy they're a threat to Western Democracy.

That's a good way to put it. America is going to need to come to terms with these hyper-powerful hyper-funded lobbyist institutions. I'm Australian and these organizations have influence in a global scale. By virtue of their power and influence in America they have effects over a lot more than just America. For Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Britain and many others America is the biggest and most influential trading and security partner we have. This place is a concern but its not the real problem and I wish people like Thom would start talking about Harvard and Yale a lot more. That's where the Federalist Society started and that crowd scare me more than anything else. Do you know that 14 of the last 18 SCOTUS judges are Harvard or Yale including 8 of the current 9? Do you know that 5 of the 7 short listed to replace Breyer including Ketanji Brown Jackson are Harvard or Yale. Do you know that both Clintons, both Obamas and Ted Cruz are all Harvard or Yale while Ted Cruz's wife is Harvard and a senior manager at Goldman Sachs? Do you know that AG Merrick garland is both a Federalist Society member and went to Harvard? You might not realize it but that influence affects the entire Western World. Particularly regarding SCOTUS because that's what all of America's giant tech and business monopolies hide behind. George Carlin famously said "Its a big club and we're not in it"

@falconquest2068 I'm Australian but went to college at Illinois in the late 80s. I can remember see the televangelist of those days and thinking this stuff is going to come back to haunt one day. What I try and explain to Americans is that this stuff has gone global. These sorts of institutions that get hijacked by right wing publicity and propaganda machines is common across the entire Western World. Australia has an array of right wing think tanks all calling themselves "something something INSTITUTE" all pretending to be neutral academic places where very smart people to outstanding work for the benefit of everyone. Does that sound familiar? Without doubt this stuff is a lot more visible in America, but its happening everywhere.

@StacyWorth SHIT4BRAINS lets get it right. Hillsdale WAS (past tense) a fine college. Now its an indoctrination centre pumping out mindless meme pumping drones. And lets put it correctly. The American Far Right Believes in THEIR freedom it does not believe in the freedom of other people except in the context of "You are free to choose what we tell you to choose." Don't talk about freedom when your people just stripped millions of American women of their freedom and with it everyone's freedom to keep their medical records private. Yes DlCKHEAD I know exactly what the American people just lost. Roe V Wade was first decided on the basic right of privacy between a patient and their doctor. Thanks to you and your people the US Government, any State Government or any federal or state agency of those governments can now access your medical records. Yes Stacy if any part of the US government wanted to check the records of Stacy Worth Huntsman to see what her mental health is or has been or if she ever had an abortion then YOU Stacy Worth Huntsman can't stop them because your people took that protection away from you. Who's the ignorant one?

@StacyWorth Unfortunately this is where self righteous hypocritical psychopaths like you are dead wrong. And before you start the self righteous Christianity barrage DON'T. Jesus told his people to preach the Good News to the world. HE DID NOT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO FORCE THEMSELVES ON ANYONE. That's before we get to the insane hypocrisy of people like you who demand people give birth and at the same time demand those children are not given an education or health care before you send them of to kill or be killed in the WARS you people start.

@StacyWorth YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DO AND DON'T BELIEVE and yes I am screaming that back at your foul and disgusting arrogance. Go read Matthew 7 and this time put aside your arrogance and actually listen to what Jesus said about people with YOUR ATTITUDE.
1
If I have rage its because of ARROGANT SELFRIGHTEOUS PIECES OF DISGUSTING GARBAGE LIKE YOU
1
@StacyWorth And by the way when you do bother to look at Matthew 7 pay particular attention to verses 15 through 23 because its all about YOU and people like YOU.
1
@StacyWorth And when you get tired of denying that Jesus is speaking about YOU and people like YOU in Matthew 7 you can look up all the times he spoke to the Pharisees BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.
1
@StacyWorth YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN YOU ARE A PHARISEE Its the self-righteous arrogance and the way you attack people that gives you away.
1
@StacyWorth I NEVER SAID IT WAS You claim murder is wrong but you will happily send those children to war. You will happily execute some of them whether they are innocent or not. This is the problem with self righteous people YOU NEVER LISTEN. You people wont even listen to Jesus. He never forced his teachings on others. He used reason and common sense. He actually cared about people and their welfare. You need to start reading your bible instead of bashing people with it.
1
@StacyWorth Ans lets be crystal clear I NEVER SAID I SUPPORTED ABORTION OR KILLING BABIES That's your assumption.
1
@StacyWorth YOU REALLY HAVE LOST IT HAVEN'T YOU. Look at what you just wrote. You're now accusing me of WHAT YOU DO. JUST GO AWAY and take your pills.
1
If you do bother to pick up a Bible anytime soon, the try Matthew 7:21-23 That's Jesus and he's talking about PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
1
@StacyWorth I suspect from your delusional memes that you are actually software bot. ITS THAT OR YOU ARE PSYCHOTIC. You are certainly NOT a Christian. I do not consider evangelical fanatics like you who think they have the delusional right to FORCE themselves on others to be Christian.
1
@StacyWorth Jesus was never smug, snide, rude or forced himself on others. Your entire rant is over the fact you can't handle having your precious cesspool of radical indoctrination called out for being the dump that it is.
1
@StacyWorth And for the record I am not backing out of any of my ORIGINAL STANCE. HIllsdale is a SHlT school that teaches radical fundamentalism. Forcing your beliefs on anyone is WRONG. The World would be a much better place without disgusting sanctimonious hypocrites LIKE YOU.
1
@StacyWorth If you don't take advice from strangers then WHY ARE YOU HANDING IT OUT.
1
@StacyWorth You're not discussing IMPORTANT IDEAS YOU are being an rude disgusting self righteous FANATIC. You rant about radicalised leftists - well what about you and your precious Hillsdale? Its your blind hypocrisy that generates hatred. If you think me such a bad person then F⋃CK OFF and STOP HARASSING ME.
1
@StacyWorth If people get angry at your behavior smart people STOP and think WHY IS THAT PERSON ANGRY AT ME? But then you are too self righteous to be self reflective.
1
@StacyWorth People HATE self righteousness and you have one of the WORST cases I have ever seen.
1
@StacyWorth AND SO WE ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR Nobody has ever really rejected the Bible or Jesus, but MILLIONS of people have rejected people LIKE YOU. Now go see your doctor and get that tumour removed.
