Do you think the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has America's best interest in mind?

I would say that many of its members have America's best interest in mind while others are much less concerned with America's best interest.

You stated some of it's members are less concerned with Americas best interest.

Is this an American organization? If so, why would members of an American organization not have America's best interest in mind?

Think very carefully about the US House and Senate. Do you really believe every member of those two bodies has America's best in mind?

I don't know the answer to that. Some democrats appear to not have America's best interst in mind, and some republicans seem the same way. Perhaps some Americans consider themselves members of the overall human community ahead of citizens of this country. I don't know what their motivations would be.

Perhaps you can find answers about CFR here: http://www.cfr.org/about/

The bottom line is that I don't think being a member of the CFR equates to being a global dominionist out to destroy the sovereignty of the US.

Do you think the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has America’s best interest in mind?

“”I would say that many of its members have America’s best interest in mind while others are much less concerned with America’s best interest.

You stated some of it’s members are less concerned with Americas best interest.

Well, I’ve been to some public universities, which by definition American institutions, since they receive tax dollars, and THEY frequently dont seem to have America’s best interests in mind.

CFR is a big club of policy wonk-types and others that does a lot of research into a great many political and foreign policy topics. They range all over the map from far left to far right, just like the membership roster does. They do a lot of “what if?” kinds of papers. It’s like a debate club on steroids. The people there are influential people, whether by position or by brainpower. That doesn’t mean that anything they publish means a lot, other than to specialists in the topic discussed. They put out a widely available public journal of what they discuss. It’s as dry as month-old toast to read 99% of the time. In fact, Romney just had something published in it last issue. If I recall correctly, they have thousands of members. If it’s a conspiracy of any sort, it’s not a good one.
