Author: seek their true agendas

First paragraph (Teaser):

We believe that a society in turmoil cannot be saved through mere legislation. Our efforts are devoted not to ephemeral political fashions but to the defense of the fundamental institutions of our civilization.

ANTIWAR.COM's MISSION
...Antiwar.com is one project of our parent foundation the "Randolph Bourne Institute" (http://randolphbourne.org/) It is a program that provides a sounding board of interest to all who are concerned about US foreign policy and its implications.

In 1952, Garet Garrett, one of the last of the Old Right "isolationists," said it well: "Between government in the republican meaning, that is, Constitutional, representative, limited government, on the one hand, and Empire on the other hand, there is mortal enmity. Either one must forbid the other or one will destroy the other."...

...Antiwar.com represents the true pro-America side of the foreign policy debate. With our focus on a less centralized government and freedom at home, we consider ourselves the true American patriots. "America first!" regards the traditions of a republican government and non-interventionism as paramount to freedom - a concept that helped forge the foundation of this nation...

LUDWIG VON MISES INSTITUTE
It is the mission of the Mises Institute to restore a high place for theory in economics and the social sciences, encourage a revival of critical historical research, and draw attention to neglected traditions in Western philosophy. In this cause, the Mises Institute works to advance the Austrian School of economics and the Misesian tradition, and, in application, defends the market economy, private property, sound money, and peaceful international relations, while opposing government intervention as economically and socially destructive.

CHRONICLES: A MAGAZINE OF AMERICAN CULTURE
"Chronicles has become the toughest, best-written, and most profoundly insightful journal in America." -- Patrick Buchanan

Each month Chronicles, edited by THE ROCKFORD INSTITUTE president Thomas Fleming, takes a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of American culture and politics. As original as they are independent, Chronicles' editors have been years ahead in predicting the major conflicts and crises of our time: the end of the Cold War and the rise of "isolationism," the immigration crisis, the worldwide resurgence of ethnic conflict, the collapse of American higher education, and the multiculturalism debate. Some of the best writers in the world have appeared in the pages of Chronicles, Wendell Berry, Jorge Borges, Patrick Buchanan, Samuel Francis, George Garrett, George Gilder, Russell Kirk, John Lukacs, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jacob Neusner, Robert Nisbet, Murray Rothbard, E.O. Wilson. No cant, no propaganda, only honest and entertaining articles, reviews, and essays for readers looking for the truth.

ABOUT THE ROCKFORD INSTITUTE
Founded in 1976, The Rockford Institute stands alone among "think tanks" as the authentic voice of the American Heartland. The Institute, informed by the distinctive accents of the Midwest, the South, and the West, defines and shapes national and international debates. We believe that a society in turmoil cannot be saved through mere legislation. Our efforts are devoted not to ephemeral political fashions but to the defense of the fundamental institutions of our civilization. In the broadest sense, we strive to contribute to the renewal of Christendom in this time and place through:

* The defense of the family
* The promotion of liberty
* The decentralization of political and economic life
* The celebration of the literary and artistic inheritance of our civilization
* The adherence to Truth, revealed through Scripture and tradition

Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt: Toward a Secular Theocracy
by Paul Edward Gottfried

...In Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt, Gottfried examines "the turning of the administrative state . . . away from purely material programs, such as expanded entitlements, toward behavior control." This turning, he emphasizes, has not been preceded by any abandonment or shrinking of the welfare state. The triumphant managerial regime simply assumed an additional mission: the revolutionary transformation of society. There was no turn to freedom, much less to the right, after the Cold War. "What actually occurred was that the Left turned in a multicultural direction, toward the 'Marxist vulgate' of political correctness"--in other words, cultural Marxism.

The Bum Frum
By Taki

...We had all embarked on a great crusade against liberalism, the Evil Empire, the omnipotent state, and other threats to our freedoms. (Multiculturalism and PC had not as yet been invented, but some wise people were predicting them already.)

So you can imagine my surprise when in NR’s last issue I found myself and my colleagues Pat and Scott listed as “unpatriotic conservatives” in “a war against America.” Mind you, I was in excellent company. Others accused were people like Tom Fleming, Llewellyn Rockwell, Robert Novak, Sam Francis, JUSTIN RAIMONDO, Joe Sobran, and Eric Margolis. I was flattered until I saw the writer’s name. One David Frum.

The Two Antiwar Movements
by Steven Yates

...I want nothing to do with this antiwar movement. It seems clear that these people oppose warring with Iraq not because of sincere concern about this country’s best interests and certainly not out of any Constitutionalist sentiment but because they hate this country and all it stands for. They hate Bush the Younger’s administration not because of anything Bush has or hasn’t done, but because he’s Bush: a Republican, a mouthpiece for the rich who was "selected, not elected," and all that.

With these people, it’s the same old cultural (and sometimes unreconstructed) Marxist claptrap. Their West Coast gig, which JUSTIN RAIMONDO recently reported, was filled with speeches that had nothing to do with Iraq or our international situation and more to do with such things as "transgendered people’s" rights. In our capital we saw the usual parade of far-left nutballs (Al Sharpton, etc.). The aim was not trying to find constructive ways to diffuse the terrorist threat – that takes thinking, after all – but to rant against "capitalism." As I said at the outset, we’re looking at two opposed political philosophies here. The first would liberate the individual from government; the second would use government to enslave the individual in the name of the collective.
