>>The State Department has long been one of the most Anti-American forces in the world, at least since Woodrow Wilson’s time.

Spot on. And it’s worth noting that McCarthy was proven correct about Soviet Communist influence in the U.S. government by the Venona papers, as M. Stanton Evans showed in Blacklisted by History. And a large number of those working with the Soviets were in the State Department.

For far too long the State Department has been the province of Eastern Ivy League Leftists. They are not representing Main Street.

Absolutely true. As they might say, its a coterie.

I didn't know how true that was until I aced their test and got invited to Foggy Bottom for an interview. In looking over the resumes of those who would be on the interview team (both group and individual), I spied a number of commonalities-- same group of universities, all with past experience in media or the Peace Corps, lots of diversity in appearance but almost none in thought.

Somehow, they detected that I was probably a conservative (all that experience in the private sector may have tipped them off) and I was among the first group dismissed. Funny, we all seemed to have commonalities as well-- married men, military and/or private sector experience, mostly, and colleges more than 200 miles from the Boswash corridor.

He may be a leftist. But Boston University and Rutgers are definitely not Ivy League institutions.
