		<description>Mr. Meller -
Thanks for the encouragement!  Yes - there are fine think tanks out there.

And as far as people confusing conservatives with libertarians - I don't have high expectations of people making clear distinctions.

At least until the next war.</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Bovard,

Of course "public policy foundations" or so-called think tanks support government policy---who do you think pays them?---What do you think would happen to AEI, or the "Heritage" Foundation and their ilk of so called "conservatives" if their resident toadies and stooges failed to pay proper homage to STUPID and his wretched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to say nothing of his appalling and socialistic "big government" domestic agendas? The more dimwitted (Stupid Party) wing of the political class would simply terminate their tax-exempt contributions.

Forunately, There are still a few think tanks worthy of the name, Future of Freedom Foundation, International Society for Individual Liberty, The Randolph Bourne Foundation (operator of the truly superb website antiwar.com), Mises.org, the Acton Intitute, The Foundatation for Economic Education, to cite the more explicitly libertarian ones. 

Some very interesting non-libertarian critics of Post-Constitutional America include the Rockford Institute, the New Century Foundation, and Our Way of Life.org. As I said, they aren't libertarian (yet), but they are intensely aware of the pathologies associated with Attention deficit democrazy and are certainly willing to listen to what you would have to say.

At least people aren't  confusing the Bushevik "conservatives" today with  libertarians as much as they did during the Nixon or Reagan years! That was an embarassment!

Keep up the good work!!

PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

		<description>When John Ashcroft was leaving the Department of Justice (sic), he gave his farewell speech to the beaming audience at Heritage.  Of course, he endorsed the fact that the USA has more people in prison (2.1 million) than any other country in the world (and a quarter of the world's prisoners), all to wild applause.</description>
