Leadership for America

Our Vision

Building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.

About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.


Almost Mythical

In an exhaustive profile piece on former Speaker Newt Gingrich this weekend, the New York Times Magazine had some very nice, even gushing, words for Heritage.  We always appreciate new friends!

And several blocks from the Capitol stands the beast of them all, the almost mythical Heritage Foundation, with its $60 million budget and eight-story complex, complete with housing for 60 interns, two auditoriums and two broadcast studios. Heritage is the Parthenon of the conservative metropolis, the names of its founding donors inscribed on the lobby wall for history to remember.

Go to askheritage.org to learn more about “the Parthenon of the conservative metropolis.”

    Wow…they did have some very nice words for you.

    I still do not understand why Liberals do this to the people like you, Rush, Newt, Reagan, and others. It is free publicity. They are helping you. I hope they keep talking about you and in such nice ways.

    They are fishing for investors. Ignore them.

    This reminds me of a statement by one of my college instructors when some liberal complemented him. He said ” What evil have I done that this man would speak well if me.” Be careful when the liberal press says good things about you.

    Two words: John McCain.

    The liberal press loved him, because they knew he couldn’t win…

    Never trust them, for they are not trustworthy.
