The Heritage Foundation and their overwhelming presence on TV news.
I know I'm not the only one who sees those people out in force on all the TV news shows, especially CSPAN.

But sexism seems to be their forte as much as world domination via their form of capitalistic slavery.

I went to their site and typed in women in their search field. Here is what I got:

http://www.heritage.org/Research/Family/hl880.cfm

"The primary cause of this national crisis, that is the decline of the family, is the feminization of the American male. The first thing you need to do is sit down with your wife and say something like this: “Honey, I’ve made a terrible mistake. I’ve given you my role. I gave up leading this family, and I forced you to take my place. Now I must reclaim that role. Don’t misunderstand what I am saying here. I’m not suggesting that you ask to be given your role back. I’m urging you to take it back.”

and ...

The third thing we can talk about is social net­works. These networks lend support to people when they’re trying to figure out how to parent their kids or how to deal with difficulty in marriage. They also supply social control; that is, they encourage people to abide by more pro-family norms. For instance, if some guys are seeing another guy in their parish or congregation having lunch with a woman who’s not his wife on a regular basis, they might ask him about that and try to determine whether or not he’s really living up to his marital vows.

How the hell is this NOT the American Taliban? And they are almost the sole arbiters of analysis on TV.

2. How about their overwhelming influence in Iraq? Most people don't know the
Heritage Foundation put together the support staff for the coalition offices in Iraq, including the ACCOUNTANTS dispersing the billions of dollars. Now at least 9 billion of our tax dollars are missing there.

3. I have found out that like Rome all conservative paths
seem to lead to them no matter how many layers of institutions and corporations are in between.

5. It's not really hidden.
Check the guest list of political commentary shows and you will find a majority of them represent the Heritage Foundation, or they are "graduates" of HF.

Your pic is so fine Cleita! Thanks for that!

8. Yeah, and women guards tortured Jews in Nazi camps too.
I get the idea bud, that there are a few asshole women who would do anything for a buck, or a good promotion.

Your point?

7. The Heritage Foundation is founded and funded by the Coors family
And is a propaganda organ for the big-business, racist, and sexist views of said family.

9. If my husband said that to me (to be submissive) I'd say
Fuck you!!! I am who I am, and we need mutual respect for one another. Who do you think you are (to control me or dominate over me)?

Yup, that's what I'd say.

You are treated as well as you demand to be.

10. What is the Heritage Foundation's connection to the Promisekeepers?
because that first sentence is EXACTLY what they are taught.

11. Their connection is that they support them.
The Promise Keepers are not an innocent group of religious men who have decided to redirect their past indescreions that may have offended God into healthy family oriented projects.

They blame women for every fucking thing gone wrong in their life, in society and in the world.

Tell me. Where is it that women are controlled the MOST in the world?
