Family Security Matters Advisers Have Ties To Their Own ‘Most Dangerous’ Organizations In America

familysecuritymatters.jpgYesterday, the conservative front group Family Security Matters (FSM) released its list of “The Ten Most Dangerous Organizations in America.” Among the top 10 “hate” organizations were MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and “Universities and Colleges.” ThinkProgress earned the 10th spot in the rankings.

Ironically, various members of both the Family Security Matters board of directors and board of advisers have direct associations with some of the organizations that FSM now declares “the most dangerous” in America. For instance, former CIA director James Woolsey, who sits on the board of advisers, appeared on a panel discussion at the Center for American Progress in Sept. 2007. Unsurprisingly, other FSM advisers work for various “universities and colleges”:

- Executive Vice President Linda Cohen is also a trustee on the Santa Fe Community College Foundation Board, which seeks to “provide the college with ever-increasing funds.”

- Dr. Arthur Waldron, who sits on the board of advisers, is a professor of international relations at the University of Pennsylvania and has previously worked at Princeton, Brown, Harvard and the U.S. Naval War College.

- Dr. Cheryl L. Willman, who sits on the board of advisers, is a professor in the Health Sciences Center at the University of New Mexico.

- Dr. Latanya Sweeney, who sits on the board of advisers, is an associate professor of computer science, technology and policy at Carnegie Mellon University.

While the folks at Family Security Matters seem to think that higher education and the protection of civil liberties are “dangerous” to America, they should be more cognizant of the “dangerous” ideas emanating from within their own doors.

For instance, in August 2007, FSM Contributing Editor Philip Atkinson published an essay, titled “Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy,” in which he counseled that President Bush should follow the example of Julius and Augustus Ceasar and become “the first permanent president of America”:

President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Ceasar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nucelear weapons.

Atkinson also suggested that Bush should have used “his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead.” In the minds of Family Security Matters, supreme dictator Bush nuking the Middle East is less dangerous than this website.

    Oh my F’ing God!!! FSM’s contibuting editor Philip Atkinson is a traitor. Since he likes to sh!t on the Constitution, I’m sure he won’t mind if we end the freedom of the press, retroactively, and hang his sorry ass.

    Sorry to post this photo again, but I have no doubt whatsoever that the bathrooms at FSM are well supplied with this toilet paper:

    “In the minds of Family Security Matters, supreme dictator Bush nuking the Middle East is less dangerous than this website.”

    Let me add that Supreme Leader Cheney stealing from the pockets of the American people and bankrupting this country for his own financial agenda is more dangerous than TP. Maybe FSM needs to take a look the National Debt Clock in this country.

    Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism

    #11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they had no right to exist.

    More important is who are considered “personnel” of the group they front for, the Center for Security Policy:

    …”While CSP boasts an impressive advisory list of hawkish luminaries, its star is Frank Gaffney, its founder, president and CEO.”
    …”Gaffney and CSP’s prescriptions for national security have been fairly simple: Gut all arms control treaties, push ahead with weapons systems virtually everyone agrees should be killed, give no quarter to the Palestinians and, most important, go full steam ahead on just about every national missile defense program.”
    …”Looking at the center’s affiliates, it’s not hard to see why: Not only are makers of the Osprey (Boeing) well represented on the CSP’s board of advisers but so too is Lockheed Martin (by vice president for space and strategic missiles Charles Kupperman and director of defense systems Douglas Graham). Former TRW executive Amoretta Hoeber is also a CSP adviser, as is former Congressman and Raytheon lobbyist Robert Livingston. Ball Aerospace & Technologies — a major manufacturer of NASA and Pentagon satellites — is represented by former Navy Secretary John Lehman, while missile-defense computer systems maker Hewlett-Packard is represented by George Keyworth, who is on its board of directors. And the Congressional Missile Defense Caucus and Osprey (or “tilt rotor”) caucus are represented by Representative Curt Weldon and Senator Jon Kyl.”

    If you’ll remember, not long ago 75% of Americans were heckling us and labeling us as sickos. What that means is that 50% of Americans don’t have any clue and are just upset because we’re losing the “war” in Iraq. The other 25% is almost always worn yet are considered patriotic Americans by the mainstream media and the other 25% is usually right and yet is labelled a danger to America (Thus ThinkProgress’s ranking at #10).

    I was giving Mr. P more credit than to use the same tired “student at a second tier conservative school” shtick, I was guessing it to be a copycat beer-bellied basement buddy of his.
    Except that “the girls” thing is a new twist, Mr. P had the Greek theme going, and rarely if ever mentioned coeds…..

    Same pandering for attention though. He thinks he’s clever just like P. Virginia isn’t his home state like we give a shit what home state is P’s.


  43. Stupid Git says:

    On a side note, while the trolls to this site are often startlingly oblivious to facts and even reality I do find many posters incredibly hostile in their retorts to them. I don’t often debate them but wouldn’t it be better to lead by example and if you’re going to reply to them at all, to do it in a constructive and informative way instead of feeding into their ideas that liberals are evil and hateful by harshly insulting them? Just a concerned question.

  52. Stupid Git says:

    Constructive posts do often get constructive answers. Unfortunately most GOP posters don’t have the capacity to post constructive posts, so they get appropriate responses.

    I agree that amny have little valid to say, just figured if that’s the case people should just ignore them as they do when fellow libs say somehting of little concern. My only reason being that when we’re cruel and hostile it allows them to justify their otherwise irrational feelings of us as hateful, spiteful and so forth.

    62 – SG – the next time you feel like arguing logic with a rightwing troll, pick up a copy of John Dean’s “Conservatives Without Conscience” and study up.

    One of the hallmarks of right wing authoritarian personalities (aka trolls) is an alarming tendency to IGNORE FACTS. Ideology and dogma rule for them.

    Another is their inability to see their own hypocrisy.

    And one more is their ability to believe 2 CONFLICTING ideas – at the same time.

    And finally, they are willing, even eager, to attack and savage anyone they perceive to be “attacking” their leader – even if that “attack” is only mild disagreement.

You’d rather toss out hateful attacks then offer anything substantial. Not a good way to encourage other liberals to stick around. Fortuantely ThinkProgress is a great site and I’d never feel negative about it because of a few irate commenters.

    Because you showed up not discussing the topic of the thread but telling us how to act. And you did it at the same time Mr. P showed up. I suspect that’s not a coincidence and you’ve been around grooming regular posters to think you’re okay but I’m not buying it.

  76. missmolly says:

    Groups such as FSM only survive if they have enemies. Since most of us consider these right wing groups irrelevant, they have to create enemies and make them out to be huge boogeymen. Fearmongering is how they survive (sort of like our current executive branch).

    I know the wingnuts will claim that progressive sites are no better. I’d just like to point out that while we criticize sites like RedState (because of the quality of the posts there and the fact that they ban anyone they disagree with), we don’t claim they are dangerous or a threat. Nor do we make lists of “dangerous organizations.”

    e-mail the author ( http://www.jasonrantz.com) of this article and express your opinions to him. He fits right in with Carol Taber, president of FSM, and the rest of her rabid Likud Party mentality. They have a lust for war, in the middle east, as long as the WASP do the actural fighting or as long as the US supplied jets, piloted by Israeli pilots, can bomb innocent men women and children from 3000 feet.

    I would like to see his fat ass in uniform risking his life for Iraqis who don’t want the US in their country.

    President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Ceasar and becoming ruler of the world?

    This is the exact reason why I disagree with many liberals and fully support the 2nd Amendment.

    I had this discussion just last night. The person said, “no way would Bush declare Martial Law”. My answer was two undeclared occupations, another against Iran, destruction of the Constitution, and even the controversial 9/11 (complicent, foreknowledge). Why wouldn’t he do it?

    However, 2nd Amendment Rights, in the hands of the insane, is like any other Amendment to the Constitution, able to destroy or be creative. If everyone had a concealed weapon, we have a paranoid society. If crooked cops and government are the only ones armed, well look at history and what happens to countries that take away the guns of citizens. Waco was the example of what the government will go to to stop an armed citizenry, and they out gun the citizens. It’s a tough call. I really have no problem with arming yourself to protect your house and family. After that…..Shooting people, animals, and citizens of other countries is where it gets more black and white for me.

    Colleges and universities like Bob Jones, Liberty, Regent, and Oral Roberts are definitely harmful to the country. But if FSM thinks normal colleges are, then they are insane.

    impeaching bush/cheney is far from extreme. they are war criminals and have broken several laws and made a mockery of our constitution. do you not realize this or just dont care?
