Conservative Manifesto from 1971
Supreme Court Justice Powell wrote the Powell Memo before he was appointed by Richard Nixon to the top court . In this memo, or manifesto, he outlines ways in which conservatives and business interests must take a more aggressive stance in defending the free enterprise system, American freedom and corporate values against the incursions made by the New Left.
According to the post at Kos, this memo was instrumental in forming the conservative think tanks that have become the source of Right-wing talking points: Heritage, Cato, we know the drill.
Do progressives have enough discipline to organize themselves along these lines by promoting an aggressive campaign on campuses, and in the media to reclaim the momentum for protecting progressive values as American values? Reclaim Democracy.org believes not. I see little sign of real change in the ways in which the Democratic Party is conducting business, but there are some hopeful hints that at least the smug establishment multiculturalism of the Clinton years is breaking up and that there is a real sense of crisis on the Left.
