You are so right. That's what someone like Duncan Hunter is not "electable" (i.e., not corrupted by the Powers that Be).

Yes he does. So does the hildabeast. No matter which way the voting jumps, a member of the CFR will be elected.

There are two types of membership: life, and term membership, which lasts for 5 years and is available to those between 30 and 36. Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalised) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible. A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others.

The Council on Foreign Relations is a national membership organization. There are two groups of members, life and term members. Term members must be between the ages of 30 and 36 at the time of their application, and term memberships are limited to five years. Here is a summary of the membership process:

well, he didn't know his pastor of 20 years, his spiritual mentor, the man who married him and baptized his children, the "spiritual advisor" to his campaign, was an advocate of hatred against whites and an avowed and outspoken enemy of the country he presumes to run.

It's an understandable oversight, given that.

OBAMA SAID: “Well, first of all, I don’t actually think there is such a thing as the Council On Foreign Relations and second, we don’t really have a formal membership policy.”

Yes. The ruling oligarchs require his. Only fully vetted stooges may progress.

Free Republic is morphing into a site for conspiracy theorists, protectionists, John Birchers, and Third party know-nothings, along with those who post about religious stuff or news of the weird.

Rational conversation can still be found but it can be a bit hard to find.

I’m not really complaining, just observing. If I didn’t like the place, I wouldn’t have been here so long.

Don't you find it the least bit interesting that only NWO globalists have been (or are about to be) elected to POTUS for the last twenty years?

If this observation makes me a conspiracy theorist, protectionist, John Bircher, third-party know-nothing, irrational, etc. then that's your opinion, which also might be irrational in light of facts and evidence. To me, an organized or "invisible hand" oligarchy makes as much sense as any other explanation for what has been happening. In case you haven't noticed, freedom has been on the decline, while there is no shortage of elitists who want to control our lives.

Of course there is a conspiracy, it is a vast left wing conspiracy to ruin the USA. This country is turning into a cesspool, right is wrong, wrong is right. Gay lifestyle is glorified in the media. The country's borders are wide open. Deficits in the trillions. The politicians ignoring the common sense of the constituents. Why can't we close the border? Why are the troops in Iraq when the invaders are here?

Not only that, but have you noticed how every Doctor that is quoted on any major medical story is a member of the AMA?

It’s a conspiracy.

THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY
by Michael Brown

Oh, we’re meetin’ at the courthouse at eight o’clock tonight.
You just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right.
Be careful when you get there, we hate to be bereft,
But we’re taking down the names of everybody turning left.

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society,
Here to save our country from a communistic plot.
Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks.
To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks

Now there’s no one that we’re certain the Kremlin doesn’t touch.
We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much.
We only hail the hero from whom we got our name.
We’re not sure what he did, but he’s our hero just the same.

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society,
Socialism is the ism dismalest of all.
Join the John Birch Society, there’s so much to do,
Have you heard they’re serving vodka at the WCTU?

Well you’ve heard about the agents that we’ve already named,
Well MPA has agents that are flatly unashamed.
We’re after Rosie Clooney, we’ve gotten Pinkie Lee
And the day we get Red Skelton won’t that be a victory.

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society,
Norman Vincent Peale may think he’s kidding us along,
But the John Birch Society knows he spilled the beans:
He keeps on preaching brotherhood, but we know what he means!

We’ll teach you how to spot ‘em in the cities or the sticks,
For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks.
The CIA’s subversive and so’s the FCC.
There’s no one left but thee and we, and we’re not sure of thee.

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society,
Here to save our country from a communistic plot.
Join the John Birch Society holding off the Reds,
We’ll use our hand and hearts and if we must we’ll use our heads.

Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar?
Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR?
You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin.
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in.

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the Right.
Join the John Birch Society as we’re marching on,
And we’ll all be glad to see you when we’re meeting in the John,
In The John, in the John Birch Society.

—The Chad Mitchell Trio, Kapp Records #457, 1962

The CFR is essentially a professional organization for those that deal with foreign policy. Foreign Affairs is one of the best resources to find out what others in the organization are thinking and a way to keep up on the various hot points around the globe.

You will find rabid conservatives as well as rabid communists in it's ranks. The more conservatives shun the organization, the more left wing it becomes. It's a self-fulfilling (and self-defeating) prophecy.

I enjoyed your remarks.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket and yet FR still has more than it's share of sane members.

Savages statement that “Liberalism is a mental disorder” is more right than anyone can properly put into words.

Nobody.

They just play a game with us at election time.

We get to choose our leaders, from their pool of candidates.
