The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mentor
#3
Ah yes, that would be Paul Kengor, author of "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism", and founder member of Austrian School and Evil Red Empire nutcase thinktank, The Center for Vision and Values.

It's part of Grove City College, which hosts several thinktanks and appears to be a school dedicated to "faith and the free market".

I smell something beginning with S.

Paul Kengor needs to be read with as much scepticism as Ambrose Evans-Pritchard...

Here's Sourcewatch on The Center for Vision and Values:

Quote:The Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College is a conservative think tank that was founded in 2005 and is dedicated to promoting truth and liberty through a vision of faith and freedom. The Center provides scholarly research, articles and resources that discuss the pursuit of liberty and freedom. Subscribers receive editorials and email alerts about current news and events.

Description

The Center believes that freedom is the fountainhead of economic and political progress, and religious tolerance. It embraces the wisdom of Western Civilization that biblical truth is the foundation of freedom.

The John Templeton Foundation is tied up with this, which leads in turn to Mutt Romney and the Koch Brothers:

Quote:The son of renowned investor John Templeton, John Templeton Jr is in charge of the Templeton Foundation, which describes itself as "a philanthropic catalyst for research and discoveries relating to what scientists and philosophers call the Big Questions".

Templeton has funded a wide variety of projects dear to conservative hearts, including the re-election of George W. Bush, while the libertarianCato Institute has also received funding for its Russian-language web site, cato.ru [2] who has openly called for the West to prepare for a military conflict with Russia," Justin Raimondo wrote August 24, 2007, at Antiwar.com.[3]

Mitt Romney

Templeton "recently joined" Republican 2008 presidential candidate Mitt Romney's "National Faith and Values Steering Committee, a group that includes an antiabortion activist and a fellow from the Heritage Foundation."[4]

Freedom's Watch

Templeton, "a former trauma surgeon and a born-again Christian",[5] is one of several prominent conservatives funding Freedom's Watch, a new White House front group[6] which on August 22, 2007, began "a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to urge members of Congress who may be wavering in their support for the war in Iraq not to 'cut and run'."[3]

Connections to Koch Brothers

Templeton was acknowledged at the privately held Koch seminar in June 2011 in Vail, Colorado for donating at least $1 million to Koch-related causes.

Sourcewatch on the Koch Brothers can be seen here.
