I cannot keep a straight face with this story, as you can hear in the audio link below where I giggle through it and then talk to callers who don’t get it either! This lonely think tank, headed by Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta, has the hilarious moniker: “The American Majority Institute.” They say it’ll “give their party the unified message it lacked in 2002 and counter the well-funded network of conservative policy shops.” Oh, this is too good! They name The Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute on the right.
What a bunch of crybabies! This is a Clinton think tank, folks, as you can tell when you read who’s setting it up in the article. We keep reading stories about how these poor nine Democrat presidential candidates can’t raise money, and how they tried to fire ten African-American workers to raise cash at the DNC, yet all the money’s going into Clinton rehabilitation efforts like this, Bill’s library and Hillary’s book! The liberals are right about one thing: conservatives have done a great job building up intellectual defenses for what they believe at these think tanks, at times when liberals could just make a statement and count on their willing accomplices in the press to pass it along to a public with no other news outlets to choose.
Look how long it took William F. Buckley to come along. With that said, I’ll tell you something: if it weren’t for all those early people back then – the Friedrich Hayeks, the Russell Kirks, the Buckleys and so forth – I wouldn’t be so heavily armed with intellectual backup for my conservative instincts. The liberals haven’t had to provide such proof for 50 years. They just said something and if you disagreed with them, they’d call you names or simply not put you on the air. Now they’re trying to play catch up by copying us. It’s not going to work.
