It was pretty comical on the follow-up show. All of Anderson Cooper's panel said stuff like, "Mitt Romney looked presidential." They gave very little attention to his actual answers, yet essentially declared him the winner because he'd come into the debate ahead and didn't suffer any real attacks. And everyone was laudatory of Rep. Bachmann, who at times did a bunch of talk without giving an answer.
There was one moment when a down-the-line question was given about whether there should be a constitutional amendment declaring marriage to be between a man and a woman. It was very interesting. Several candidates said they'd introduce it; a couple said it should be a state issue. Only Rep. Paul was of the opinion that the government shouldn't be involved in marriage, that it should remain an issue in the churches and private life.
Carroll Quigley:
The goals of the CFR is best described by its very own members. Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor and CFR member Carroll Quigley states: “The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one world rule established.”. Quigley differs from many of his CFR colleagues in that he believes their plan for a new world order should be more publicly disclosed. In his book Tragedy and Hope, Quigley concedes he is unique among his peers in that he believes the new world order plan of global government's “role in history is significant enough to be known”.
Quigley also admits that the two-party system allows for both groups to be controlled at the highest level but operate like bitter rivals. As Quigley says, this gives the voters the chance to “throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound of extreme shifts in policy.”. Controlling Washington elite allowed private central banks to “dominate the political system... ...and economy of world as a whole” and implement a new system of “feudalist fashion” through “secret agreements”. Although he believes the CFR's intentions should be more public, Quigley understands the average person doesn't understand feudalism or serfdom and will never read his book.
