This is a detailed description of the rise and success of right-wing  
funding. Behind the Birch Society, Horowitz's campaigns, School  
Choice, the Federalist Society, Bush's faith-based programs, and  
Allan Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind" is a heavily- 
financed, sophisticated skein of foundations, think tanks and  
publications.

In other words, this is not just about David Horowitz, often attacked  
for getting in on the gravy train but who could have easily leveraged  
his youthful writings into a professorship himself. It's about a  
"vast right-wing conspiracy."

You shouldn't overlook clicking on the highlighted links, in  
particular the one on the Federalist Society, which leads to:
