Not satisfied with hundreds of sites nationwide named after Reagan, the Reagan Legacy Project continues to push for more, including malls, airports and the "establishment of one significant monument in each state to be named after Reagan, as well as some dedication in every county in the United States and in every formerly communist country." Said [Grover] Norquist of the group's ultimate ambitions: "Do I think in 20 years Reagan could be on Rushmore? Maybe. Or we could have our own mountain." Source
That one about a dedication in every formerly communist country could be a little difficult to pull off unless he means that his organization would go to those countries and perform some ritual. But hey, shoot for the moon, huh?
That gives me an idea - we can rename Mars when we plant the flag on it. On the other hand, maybe Georgie is counting on it being renamed after him.
....do what you want....you will anyway.
P.S. You remember Grover...
JOHN LOFTUS (Former DoJ official and host of radio's "The Loftus Report"): About a year-and-a-half ago, people in the intelligence community came and said guys like Alamoudi and Sami al-Arian and other terrorists weren't being touched because they'd been ordered not to investigate the cases, not to prosecute them, because there were being funded by the Saudis and a political decision was being made at the highest levels: don't do anything that would embarrass the Saudi government. So, of course I immediately volunteered to do it, and I filed a lawsuit against al-Arian charging him with being a major terrorist for Islamic Jihad. Most of his money came from Saudi charities in Virginia.
Now, Alamoudi's headquarters were in the same place. He was raided the same day, on March 20, an hour after I filed my lawsuit. The U.S. government finally got off its butt, and they raided these offices. And the stuff that they're taking out of there now is absolutely horrendous. Al-Arian has now finally been indicted, along with Alamoudi, today [10/23/03].
But, who was it that fixed the cases? How could these guys operate for more than a decade immune from prosecution?...What Alamoudi and al-Arian have in common is a guy named Grover Norquist. He's the super lobbyist. Newt Gingrich's guy, the one the NRA calls on...He is the guy that was hired by Alamoudi...and he's the registered agent for Alamoudi, personally, and for the Islamic Institute.
...There's a lot more to go. Norquist had a lot of other clients. There's a whole alphabet soup of Saudi agencies that funded terrorism in this country. They had an awful lot of protection. And, one of the things we may find about 9/11 is that people out in the field weren't allowed to connect the dots, and questions will be asked whether guys like Grover Norquist were part of the problem.

If this is real, this could be a bigger scandal than the Valerie Plame affair. A direct link between Norquist and an al-Qaeda operative might explain a lot of otherwise inexplicable things, such as the White House decision to allow a sudden evacuation of all the bin Ladens in this country shortly after 9-11, before the FBI got a chance to talk to them, at a time when all U.S. airspace was closed to normal traffic.
