Should be required reading.

This is how they set up and implemented their attempted takeover. To push the pendulum back as far "right"-ward as possible. Basically to nullify the enlightenment of many of us during the 60s, and even farther back - to the New Deal (which they've always despised. They HATE having to help people. They hate even more virulently having to help pay for it).

They're the IGMFU Coalition. As in "I Got Mine, F-U." Never forget that.
