Is there a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?
I think there is. But I think it has exploded lately, especially with John Ashcroft and the PATRIOT act. But that's just me.

If there is a VRWC, who do you think is ultimately pulling the strings? Who is the Godfather, so to speak? And who are his henchmen and all that. It's like the mob.

2. Follow the money and you'll find the puppet masters?
Multinational Coporations and Millionaire Ideologs (aka. William Scafe and Joseph "Geobbles" Coors) and Arisocratic American Famalies (ala Bushco).

These are the organizers, backers, and leaders of the Right-Wing.

4. There is a conspiracy alright.
That is the illusion that there is actually a two-party system, or a government by the people. The Godfathers? I would venture to guess it is the elite of the elite. I think the conspiracy is global not just national. But that is just me, I don foil for every occasion.

18. Thanks for that link.
I like how the current administration is going after "radical" Muslim theocracies and denouncing them as evil. Whereas, we have a homegrown theocracy right here is the US, and no one seems to have a problem. Oh, the hypocracy is outstanding.

19. scaife, et al
Edited on Fri Jan-09-04 02:03 PM by dymaxia
All of those people wouldn't be able to survive on their own if it weren't for the likes of Scaife et al.

See especially:

http://www.mediatransparency.org/movement.htm

Since the Reagan era, there has been a coordinated effort to promote neoconservatism through think tanks and sponsorship of college conservatives.

That's the closest thing to any 'conspiracy'.

9. Let's take it a point at a time
- Is there a Right Wing? Yes and it's vast.
- Do they have a common goal? Yes, to dominate politics.
- Do they plan together to reach this goal? Yes.
- Final question: do these plans include illegal activities? Well, I'm pretty sure Election 2000 shows a positive answer to this one.

12. Yours is the best comeback I have ever heard defending the term.
Everything you have said is impossible to deny.

10. Yes.
There are reasons for heavily taxing the wealthy. No one should be rich enough to steal a nation.

11. There's no "Conspiracy"
It's right out there in the open.
(Now where have I heard that before?)

14. It's right out in the open
And it is more of a loose-knit "hub and spoke" type of conspiracy.

Watergate taught these guys a lot on what not to do while pursuing illegal RICO-violating goals. One of them was that tape recordings must NEVER AGAIN be employed in the halls of Imperial Power.

Thus, the VRWC has always been somewhat in the open (not wholly, of course, but just enough to allay suspicions), in keeping with the different mores of America.

Mmm. Vast rightwing conspiracy pie. Esteemed Elder Cheney can no longer have it ala mode though.

17. Turn on Cable TV
And there it is in living color. Dr. Goebbels is probably beaming like a proud parent from his pit in hell.

20. I think there is and it's called the PNAC.
http://www.newamericancentury.org/

Start here on their website. Look at who is involved. Look at their plan to take over the world. There is a lot of information on this organization. But this is a good start for a newbie. Suffice it to say that some of the principals involved in forming this think tank are in high places in our government today.
