So CFR members are automatically disqualified from being considered conservatives?
Someone had better tell:
-William F. Buckley - Fooled us by all by founding the modern conservative movement. Motivations still unclear.;
-Newt Gingrich - Noted Marxist scholar and agitator;
-John Bolton - A "Blame America First" guy if ever there was one;
-Grover Nordquist - Closet socialist!
-Dick Cheney - The Manchurian Veep! HALIBURTON!

William F Buckley isn't my idea of a conservative. All his 'conservatives' happen to be Neo-con RINOs.
"Newt Gingrich - Noted Marxist scholar and agitator"
Maybe your memory is failing you? Shortly after being made speaker, he publicly endorsed "The Third Way" by noted socialists Heidi and Alvin Toffler. This is the "book to get" for socialist triangulation propaganda. And let's not forget his help to Loretta Sanchez, a liberal democrat, in defeating a real conservative, Bob Dornan.
Your idea of conservative seems to be whomever the Drive-by media say is one.
Once the ruling members of the CFR shadow government have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of (the) CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition. - Admiral Chester Ward, former CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy
The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government. - Admiral Chester Ward, former CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy
Roosevelt was surrounded by members of the various Communist movements At the Yalta and the Tehran conference, where the acquisition of half of Europe by the Soviets was formalized by treaty after WWII, who was Roosevelts top advisor? Alger Hiss, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations who was later convicted of espionage as a Soviet spy. - New World Order: The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies, by William T. Still, p. 171
For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the USA. But he didnt. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, was carefully manufactured for him in advance by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money Group. - Curtis Dall, ex-President Franklin Roosevelts son-in-law
The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind, that there would appear to be little chance of winning popular assent to American membership in anything approaching a super-state organization. Much will depend on the kind of approach which is used in further popular education. - 1944 Council on Foreign Relations Report
The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. - Carroll Quigley, member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), mentor to Bill Clinton, quote from Tragedy and Hope, 1966
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about whats really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the security community with a common outer security perimeter . [ie] wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada at this meeting [3-23-05] President Bush pinned the epithet vigilantes on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona the CFR document calls for a seamless North American market and for the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico. adopting a tested once principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards . putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system. a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges . supervision by a North American Advisory Council of eminent persons. - The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent. - Statement made before the United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950 by James Paul Warburg son of Paul Warburg who wrote the Federal Reserve Act, and nephew of Max Warburg who had financed Hitler.
We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National auto-determination practiced in past centuries - David Rockefeller, Member CFR, in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991
For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure one world, if you will. If thats the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. - David Rockefeller, of Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan and the Council on Foreign Relations, from his Memoirs in 2002.
We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money. - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs (July/August 1995)
The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down
but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault. - Richard Gardner, CFR member writing in the April l974 issue of the CFRs journal, Foreign Affairs.
