re: #605 Gus 802

That would be a good idea to have that at LGF.

Had to do a new search at the Media Transparency site using “Heritage Foundation.” A lot of information there. While glancing quickly over many of the names I was reminded of the outright hypocrisy we hear from the right wing namely “liberal elitism.” The right wing is replete with there own elitism (the Kochs, the Olins, the Forbes, etc.) including the 501s.

Oh absolutely. I made that crack about ‘wingnut welfare’ earlier, but it’s true. Look at a tool like Jonah Goldberg, who only has the connections and gigs that he’s landed because his mother is Lucienne Goldberg.
The Heritage Foundation is one of the major purveyors of ‘wingnut welfare’ — a cushy job for people who aren’t qualified to do much of anything beyond machinate talking points.

They are also, I believe, one of the main entry points for the upcoming generation of home-schooled creationist ‘conservative thinkers’ to find a foothold in the world, and a place on the national stage.
