Reply #11: Maybe one of the "overlooked" stories is the rise of the "Academic [View All]

Think Tanks" and the connection with major Universities. It seems that while the "Conservatives & Neo-Conseratives" were on the rise and moving into the Think Tanks from Universities, the RW was doing the drumbeat propaganda in the MSM that American Colleges and Universities were filled with "Liberal/Hippies" left over from the 60's that were ruining our kids minds with their "peacenik" teachings. Classic case of how the Right Wing used "Liberal" in labeling Universities and the Media while they were filling both with their hand picked Religious Conservatives along with the Neo-Cons and Straussian devotees. We need to learn that whatever the RW makes up a label for as "Liberal" is always the opposite of what's really going on. They are great at throwing up "smokescreens" to hide their evil doing.

I'm glad to hear Ricks focuses on Wolfowitz part in this immoral war. He's (Wolfowitz) such a benign looking person one wonders how he could have had so much influence. Yet Michael Moore was onto him from the beginning.

Thanks for the thread on the Ricks book. :-)'s
