Hmm...it just sounds like a bunch of evangelicals holding a conference about "the church" (haha)

Anthony, I had the same thought before I scrolled down to your comment. I was reading the mission statement waiting for the words Christian or Christ to pop up, sadly.

Didn't they used to be called "Focus on the Family?"

Like many things there is no short answer. On the surface some tenants are reasonable. Western culture has a wealth of academic, artistic,historic, literary, and philosophical attributes that are worth retaining. Here in the USA they are the primary basis for "who we are". The problem arises when we the think it is the only culture. Increasingly we are affected by other areas of the world. This a good thing. I am afraid when groups like this arise they take things to the extreme and make one question their real motives.

Since multiculturalism and racial preferences contributed greatly to the housing bubble that, upon bursting, led to our current economic crisis, this group can only help matters. It's probably too little too late, though.

...abraham, I'm liking you more and more. :) much as my anti-gov preferences want me to believe it, though, I'm not sure that had as much of a contribution. I'm assuming you're referring to CRA and fannie/freddie's affordable housing mandates? I've looked at those, a bit, and have heard differing reports from people on the severity of their impact. My deciding opinion is when I hear people who *want* to believe that they were the main problem saying "well...maybe they weren't quite so big of a deal..."

Personally, I find the general system of GSEs to be more of the issue, but I'm no expert: Bernanke on the topic here: GSE Portfolios, Systemic Risk, and Affordable Housing. 2/3 of bernanke's suggestions in that paper were implemented under the something-something-housing-craziness-act of 2008 (clear receivership and imposed capital limits), but I'm afraid the fact that the implicit guarantee has become essentially explicit will not allow market discipline to work on the GSEs once everyone chills out again.

Oh...and...wasn't there another right wing youth organization? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Honestly, I've been thinking over the past couple months that the stupid multicultural-at-all-costs-without-judgment thing that's been going on for a while now is going to have a huge backlash into something...well...like this. Hopefully we can talk about a smarter 'multiculturalism' that calls a spade a spade, and realizes that western culture really *is* superior in some ways, and inferior in others...but I suspect that will be achieved through interaction and trade, rather than initiatives.

What scares me the most is how a movement like this will likely deepen the already profound ignorance of the outside world that a lot of people have in the US. Having studied at Regent Universite, I was amazed at how many people hadn't even left their state, not to mention the country. I experienced after 9/11 how people organized hot dog and hamburger benefit luncheons for the victims of 9/11 under the assumption that only hot dogs and hamburgers would help the American economy. I remember professors of my MBA classes saying that trading certain goods like steel had to be restricted on the grounds of national security, etc.
In the wake of all this and also of the terrible distortion of what multiculturalism is (we live this here as well in the politized agenda of "indigenous people's rights) there is a high risk of potentially violent reactions to anything foreign to the definition of what a group like this youth organization might define as American or Conservative.

Shawn, fascism is not right-wing. Anarchy, yes. Fascism aka another form of big government? No.

Juan, it is inevitable that the systemic self-loathing taught in Western education is resisted. That resistance may take some foolish forms, but the pendulum has a long way to swing...
