This is cool; I actually made it onto a list of “seditionists,” along with several other liberal blogs like Pandagon, Atrios and World O’Crap. Not only are we seditionists, but they’re “keeping a close eye” on us, like maybe they’ll come in the night and burn our houses down.
Looking at their mission statement, I tend to think the entire thing may be a prank.
Established in the spring of 2004, The Project for the New American Empire is a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American hegemony over the world by the violent overthrow of Evil. The Project is an initiative of the Hamilton Institute for the Unilateral Projection of Power (666c69); the HAIUPP’s chairman is Demogenes Aristophanes and its president emeritus is Kilroy.
Seriously, the whole thing looks like a joke. I sure hope so.

Looks like they’ve managed to attract some pretty heavy hitters to their organization. Both John Galt and Jacob Marley are listed as “Senior Fellows.”

Very funny, quayboi. I see you’re an Ayn Rand afficionado — so this might not be your kind of blog. 🙂

To get off the seditionist list, I think it is a moral imperative that you through a party.
A party for your friend, George.
Go to it, Richard!

Richard,
I believe this one is a prank, cause I’ve visited the Project’s site much earlier, 2 – 3 years ago, and it doesn’t have the same setup or even colour scheme.
Hang on, here we are – the McCoy as in http://www.newamericancentury.org/
Some of its “notables” were(are?) Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Elliot Abrams, Elliot Cohen, Richard Bolton,.
These blokes proposed in a letter in 1998 to Clinton to attack and invade Iraq. That was strongly backed by Newt Gingrich. Clinton laughed them off but Bush embarced it as his policy. In their letter, you will find the genesis of the US policy in ignoring thd UN when it attacked Iraq. Not so strange considering prior to the war, the majority of th Bush administration members were made up of these people – Perle has left since.

Thanks Jacky — It’s obviously extremely suspicious, and funny too. They sure went to an awful lot of trouble to play a prank.

Sounds like a joke site to me, but then again it mirrors Bush administration policies and right win groups. I’m suprissed it doesn’t mention Islam directly.
Yes you are a seditionist, and don’t you dare stop, your also unpatriotic, unamerican and a you hate freedom and liberty, at least if you define patriotism, america ideals or freedoms and liberties as the things that can be forced on people down the barrel of a gun by white supresmisists.
If you ever stop being a seditionist by this sites definition then I will stop reading your blog and possibly call you a quizzling.
Up with sedition

Thanks, ACB. Don’t worry, I have no plans to stop. We seditionists have a higher calling, and we always stay the course.

The prank-site may be good for a laugh but the real site is full of dangerous intentions and suggested policies. Keep an eye on these neo-cons.
They are made up of a motley of people who may have different aims but all with the same action, requiring young American men and women to die for their objectives (this, not counting the deaths on the other side).
