Describing itself as not only "politically conservative, but it is more than that: it is also culturally conservative", a think tank focused "on the Culture War. Will America return to the culture that made it great, our traditional, Judeo-Christian, Western culture? Or will we continue the long slide into the cultural and moral decay of political correctness? If we do, America, once the greatest nation on earth, will become no less than a third world country."[1] It was founded by the late Paul Weyrich, after leaving the Heritage Foundation.
It receives its major funding from foundations of the Scaife family, which support a number of conservative causes. [2]
Among its grantees is Richard Spencer, an activist against Islam.
