The fact that you and I both know great Americans that belong to the CFR and both are aware of not so great Americans that belong to the CFR is just further evidence that the organization is exactly what it says it is...a broad cross section of people brought together for the common purpose of discussing foreign relations.

As for your concerns about groups of people writing documents that influence government policy...that is nothing new in American history and is actually a vital component of our democracy. And nobody is labeling or mocking people for disagreeing with what any document says. As evidenced by this thread, I have been doing my best to get anyone to actually discuss the document. My ridicule and disagreement is reserved for people who make broad and unsupportable statements about conspiracy theories that don't exist.

No, they are labeling and mocking them for taking the original article under consideration and for agreeing with what some of the documents say (What was that cute little reference to Sisyphus again?) Others just want to dismiss the whole thing because CFR is made up of "good men".

It is the job of the People to hold Government accountable. Some seem to resent them for doing so.
