Thank You for that explanation....I appreciate it.

I’m afraid that I wear a lot more tinfoil than is allowed here, so I usually keep my mouth shut about this issue.

One question does remain.....

Is a real leader taking orders, or giving orders at CFR?

Neither Bush proved to be much in the way of “leaders”. But what about Reagan or Thompson?

Conservatives are a minority within the GOP. Wishing for one that meets the Bill Buckley ‘standard’ (if you can decipher his brand of english....) is a waste of time.

Buckley can't be a conservative, he's a member of the CFR!
