  More Faces Behind the Curtain.

Meet Morton Blackwell.

Blackwell, as it turns out, is one of the founding members of the ugly side of the American Conservative movement. He was there at the creation with jokers like Brent Bozell, William F. Buckley, and Phyllis Schlafly. His "non-partisan" Leadership Institute has trained thousands of conservative footsoldiers, including Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed...

This guy Blackwell is a long time GOP operative. Started as a Young Republican and since the 70's has run an outfit called the Leadership Institute... who gave him the $8,230,655 budget they spent in 2000 grooming young people to train tens of thousands of students to be GOP activists?


And...

Blackwell was executive director of the College Republican National Committee from 1965 to 1970, back when it became a school for Nixonian dirty tricks that turned out Karl Rove, Lee Atwater, Terry Dolan, and Roger Stone...

In 1979, Blackwell founded the Leadership Institute, which has been devoted for 25 years to turning out right-wing activists and journalists. Karl Rove is its best-known graduate.


So Rove trained in two groups run by this guy? And Blackwell's another member of the Council on National Policy whose stated aim is to reshape America in their image.

What do these guy want to do?

Founded in 1981, its first president was Tim LaHaye famed millenialist preacher and writer of the Left Behind series of popular books about the "end-times" and the Second Coming of Christ...

...affiliated with the John Birch Society...

...subsidizing efforts to prove blacks are genetically inferior to whites.

...replace American law with "biblical law.

into trashing the U.S. Constitution and replacing it with the harsh legal code of the Old Testament. They advocate the death penalty for adulterers, blasphemers, incorrigible teenagers, gay people, "witches" and those who worship "false gods."

Trainers of Karl Rove and Grover Norquist. Major fund raisers for the Wrepublicans. Using cyberspace and the blogsphere in their attack on free speech . It's who we're fighting. The real traitors to the American Dream of personal freedon, the pursuit of happiness, the rule of law, and justice for all.

The American Taliban.

Am I right in thinking that Jeff "Eight Inch, Cut" Gannon also attended the Leadership Institute?
 
Yes indeed!
