Alarm bells ringing....Credibility dropping....Spin detectors enabled!
The IPA has a single function. That is to promote neo-conservatism in its purest essence.

While the IPA has a legitimate right to exist, I would have to consider them however one 
of the most heinous and nasty of the Right's "think tanks".  Even the Lyon's forum doesn't 
put out such terrible right leaning crud.

Anything published by the IPA needs to come with a warning, similar to the anti smoking 
livery they fought so hard against recently......

It's typical for associates of the IPA to not declare such unless they are hard pressed 
or have to comply with some sort of legal requirement. 
Their FUD goes further when the point of origin can't be determined......
