You know, you look up any of the 'so-called' think-tanks, Cato, AEI, any of them, and you go to their "About Us" link and it's just the smarmiest, flag-wavingest, strike up the band type of teary eyed America-or-Nobody sales pitch that says high and mighty things about how supportive their outfit is about Americanism. AND THEY ARE NOTHING BUT RABID PROPAGANDA OUTLETS FOR THE RIGHT WINGERS OF OUR WORLD!! It just stinks, but there they are selling the 24/7/365 campaign agenda for whoever is 'running' on their behalf. What a bunch of creeps.
