Wow, I have to say I've been blindsided here. I've never heard of this organization before. And the implications are chilling.

I'd like to see some of the conservatives here really address this issue and what it means to them. I don't think any of the conservatives on this site are what I would call "ultra-conservatives" but I'd really like to know what they think of so many heavyweight republican pols contributing to and belonging to an organization that openly professes the aim of turning America to the ultra-right. I'm appalled.

I think it notable that at least one of the articles points out that republican moderates and neo-conservatives are conspicuously absent from this organization. Which makes me wonder about the origin of the popular misconception about what a neo-conservative really is. The neo-conservative movement and the ultra-right wing movement are in many ways diametrically opposed to one another. Have the neo-conservatives been marginalized for not being socially conservative?

Wow, this has created a bit of a maelstrom in my head. I may need time to sift through it all.

One thing I can say right now is that as scary and threatening as the CNP seems in its illuminati-like ambition, I don't feel truly threatened by them. I think the notion of a free society is too deeply entrenched in the American psyche for them to fulfill their goal (ultimately) of a corporate theocracy, although their handiwork is certainly evident if you look at the political trends and slow implementation of religious activism, particularly in the rural South and Midwest.

So now we know where Karl Rove sowed his oats, most likely...

Interesting stuff, host, thanks for posting it.
