Bob Jones Summer Camp?

Today in the NYT:

In an article concerning the rightwingnuts' Heritage Foundation's internship program we learn all sorts of interesting tidbits like:

Ronald D. Utt, a Heritage senior fellow: the National Park Service is: "the world's largest lawn care and janitorial service."

Edwin J. Feulner, the longtime president at Heritage: That young conservatives are persecuted at place like Harvard and Yale and "had to cultivate [their own] alternative."

Crying for them yet. Yes like the freedmen and women's movement have struggled valiently to be seen and heard in this liberal dominated and creul society.....

Wait I can't, I'm laughing to much while typing this crap.

Here's a laugher: "In the face of derogation, many intelligent young conservatives have simply responded by hiding their beliefs or going with the crowd,"

What should really scare us is the filtering process to be considered for this singular (and paid honor):
Heritage applicants... "answered a 12-item questionnaire designed to ferret out latent liberalism with questions about guns, abortion, welfare and missile defense. (If you agree with the statement that "tax increases are the most appropriate way to balance the budget," this is probably not the internship for you.)

Let's not kid ourselves this program just goes to prove the type of machine we are fighting against. They are orgainized and have the dollars to back them up. Progressives, as pointed out by Ralph G. Neas, the president of People for the American Way, "We're trying to catch up."
