Key Facts You'll Learn

  • Joseph Coors, grandson of the Coors Brewing Company founder, put up the seed money. He teamed up with Paul Weyrich, often called the "father of the New Right," and Edwin Feulner to build what became the most powerful conservative policy machine in Washington.
  • Kevin Roberts said this out loud and on the record. Read it again: "bloodless if the left allows it to be." That is the head of a tax exempt think tank implying that violence is on the table if people resist their agenda. This is not how democracy works.
  • The Fourth Amendment exists for one reason: to stop the government from searching your life without a warrant and probable cause. The Patriot Act blew a hole through that protection.
  • The government was secretly forcing phone companies to hand over the call records of virtually every person in America on a daily basis. Not suspected terrorists. Everyone. That included who you called, how long you talked, and when.
  • Instead of standing up for the constitutional rights they claim to care about, Heritage scholars went to bat for the surveillance state. They published papers arguing that your phone records are not really "yours" once a phone company holds them, so the government can take them freely.
