Europe’s reckless Iran deals will backfire

I've been meaning to ask this question noticing their so-called Liberty Tweets here.  Why should we think that the Heritage Foundation has anything at all to do with, as Rand so aptly said, having a federal government so small that he (we) can barely see it?  

I hope you know that Heritage promoted the idea of a federal mandate requiring every head of household to buy insurance years before ObamaCare?   Yes, this was only for catastrophic coverage but the wording of their plan to include "other things" left the door wide open.

I also have a personal dealing with Heritage that I found quite alarming.  

Sometime around 2008, while still unawakened to the Ron Paul Liberty message, I replied to an email sent by them.  Not long after that, I received a very large packet requesting more information about me and my political beliefs.  Because it was so involved, I basically shelved it.

In the meantime, I learned that my mother also received the exact same packet and she was confused because she didn't know how they could have known anything about her...like her address and, obviously, the fact that she is my mother.  I never gave them any information about her.  We also noticed that they did not also send a packet to my father who they obviously knew was deceased.  

I found this troubling on a number of levels and so I contacted Heritage several times asking them exactly how they would have found out about my mother and what gave them the right to investigate me to that extent. I never got a straight answer out of anyone as they passed me around just to get rid of me.  They seemed to somehow lose my call more than once, too.  

Also, my mother has never used a computer and, therefore, has no email address and so a contact via her email would not have been possible.  

It doesn't surprise me that a writer for Heritage is using the "fear card" and constant meme of Iran getting "the bomb" and using it on their new European trading partners, a notion that these Euro leaders have dismissed. Btw, the Germans have also been negotiating deals with Iran starting this past summer and Iran is now operating at least one major bank with several branches in Germany and big corporations are also working to cement their deals.   

Bottom line.  

The Heritage Foundation is just another phony Conservative (whatever that word means anyway) think tank and they are NO defenders of our liberty... just the same as the American Enterprise Institute.  I am disappointed that this site is featuring their tweets.   

I'll link to a Forbes (Heritage Foundation) article just this once in order to document the connection that Heritage had to establishing a healthcare mandate years before Obama set foot in the Oval Office.
