Is it me, or is the right-wing press in Britain going back to the hyper-militant cold-war era Thatcherism? This shit was on the top of Google News.

I wonder what the author's line of thought looks like... "Zelaya had friendly relations with Venezuela, and he was toppled in a military coup, so he must be a marxist"?

I thought this might be coming, I'm not sure what the american right-wing is saying about it, but it's telling when the uk right-wing is attacking it. :lol:

What a bunch of freaks at the telegraph, they should do us all a favour and stick to what they know best: fake economics, fake celebrities, flash cars and fake bourgeois decadence.

Based on the byline in the Telegraph article, the writer is with the Heritage Foundation.

Isn't that an American conservative think-tank?

Indeed. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heritage_Foundation -

The foundation took a leading role in the conservative movement during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

widely considered to be one of the most influential research organizations in the United States, especially during the Republican administration of President George W. Bush.

Heritage is primarily funded through donations from private individuals and charitable foundations. Businessman Joseph Coors contributed the first $250,000 to start The Heritage Foundation in 1973. Other significant contributors have included the conservative Olin, Scaife, DeVos and Bradley foundations.

In 2006, the Foundation established the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, based on a grant from the Margaret Thatcher Foundation, to advance the transatlantic alliance between the U.S. and Britain. Lady Thatcher has since been named Patron of the Heritage Foundation, her only official association with any U.S.-based group.

Prior to 2001, Heritage had been sharply critical of Malaysia's prime minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, criticizing him as anti-Semitic and condemning his human rights and anti-free market policies. However, in 2001, without any change in Malaysia's government or policies, the foundation shifted to a very pro-Malaysian view. This shift sparked a controversy over a potential conflict of interest relating to the Heritage Foundation's president, Edwin Feulner, who co-founded Belle Haven Consultants, a company with business interests in Malaysia, during the same time in which the foundation had its shift of views towards the country.

In 2001, the foundation arranged a meeting between Mahathir Mohamad and U.S. president George W. Bush, a meeting that raised accusations of a $1.2 million payment to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, which Mahathir denied.

From the byline:

"Nile Gardiner is the Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation."

So, yeah, this is Thatcherism. Literally.
