The CFR has been the shadow in Washington for many decades now. Move on. No news here.

Except to say that Reagan had the grace to dig his heels in on occasion, while the CFR treaded water. And Reagan did surroung himself with conservatives, not moderates.

You stated that Reagan surrounded himself with conservatives.

I concur.

You imply that CFR members cannot be conservative.

Therefore, using your logic, the fact that over half of Reagan’s transition team and over 200 members of his administration were CFR members means:

1. Reagan indeed DID NOT walk with conservatives.

or

2. It is entirely possible that conservative and possibly non globalist individuals are members of the Council on Foreign Relations...

James Baker, Don Regan, George Shultz, Sandra O’Connor, the list of people who both walked closely with Reagan and were/are CFR members is long.

So again, Reagan seems to be your conservative model, and I agree whole heartedly, so I have to wonder where exactly does this hatred/fear of the CFR come from? It is a think tank with a wide variety of powerful members from all sides.

I salute your strong support of Duncan Hunter, he is indeed a fine man, you do him an injustice with the fallacy of the argument.

Yeah, that Moderate George Bush was such a great pick for VP wasn’t he?
