  Are the morons at Danquah Institute this ignorant as to assume they can wrap up in a neat package a US based Heritage Foundation as a gift for Ghana politics? Hey NPP, Danquah Institute and all you ignorant SOB's you are not the only people from the African continent or Ghana in specific to have lived, worked and or schooled in the good old USA. Heritage Foundation, like Forbes Magazine, New York Post, Wall Street Journal and other US conservative ideological proponents promote modern slavery disguised or masked as champions of liberties and limited government intrusion on people. For all the poor folks who have been brow beaten by the NPP into thinking property seeking society slogans can do anything for your welfare I say think again. America is the richest nation on earth not because of conservative ideas and ideals but those of socialism. Americas Social Security system which include disability benefits and health scheme not to mention housing subsidies, national home mortgage funding and food stamp/welfare system that has sustained Americans did not come care of the conservative charity but out of failed conservative policies of the great depression and World Wars.
  
  Heritage Foundation ideas have been so productive that from President Reagan, the late exPresident through Obama the best 8 yeas of economic prosperity was under the democratic government of William Jefferson Clinton; go figure. So Danquah Institute should not come and sell moronic ideas that have been rejected at their home to Ghanaians.

  Can't we for once make our points without insult someone? We hear insult on the streets at market places. Here too where only the literate and the educated have access we hear insult!

  No doubt they will issue a statement after their conclave giving Ghanaians the false impression that there is a difference between the constituent parts of the neo-liberal NDC/NPP duopoly that has been busy selling Ghana to vested interests at home and abroad.
  
  Hmm, Ghana. Asem ebeba debi ankasa!

  If Ghanaians no better, they should stay clear of anything or anybody associated with the Heritage Foundation. This organization is a conservative think-tank, whose goals are inconsistent with Ghana's liberal political views.

  The Danquah Institute has now shown its true colors by linking up with the Heritage Foundation of the USA, an organization steeply in bed with racist radical Republicans in the United States.
  
  As great as the Economic views of the Heritage Foundation may be touted to be, they have a Political Agenda, too, that often is inimical to all Africans and other minorities of color, even though some of them, like in Danquah Institute, would be cynically welcoming of them.
  
  The Heritage Foundation is filled with Neocons of Reagan-Lovers who prefer Reaganomics that even George Bush, Sr., the very person who became Reagan's VP, described it as Voodoo Economics. Most renowned Economics all the World over, including Paul Krugman, quickly saw through the charade of the 'Trickle-down' Economics of the Reaganites that eventually brought America the Savings and Loans colossal debacle, and again, the near collapse of the global Capitalist System in 2008.
  
  Had the very Government intervention that the Reaganites and the Heritage Foundation have always denigrated not been applied, only God knows what would have been left of the Global Economy by now. Yet, these very fellows have taken to discredited President Obama for almost everything he has done, thus far, including saving their financial Institutions.
  
  And this is the Foundation that the Danquah Institute has chosen to model after. Maybe, the DI is simply walking the path of the Akufo-Addo's Faction of the NPP which thinks sharing the Elephant symbol with the USA Republican Party automatically confers the attributes and affection of the GOP on the NPP. How much further to emulate the GOP would the DI go for the Danquah-Dombo-Busia Party? It all shows how hollow these 'Dankwasere' Mate-Me-Ho folks could be.
  
  While the Alan's or Kufuor's faction of the NPP seems more accommodating and more tolerant of diversity, the Akufo-Addo's faction that is stuck with the dirty, murderous 'Action Troopers' Politics of old continue to trudge along in divisive, tribal politics. Maybe, that is what they love most about, and share in common with, the Reaganites and the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation has been solidly behind killing all the gains of the Civil Rights Organization, including untimely demise of Affirmative Action which the Neocons dubiously call 'Reversed Discrimination' because the program attempts to help the long downtrodden, discriminated-against Blacks to close the gap between them and the privileged Whites of the USA.
  
  It must be noted how the Danquah Institute has been trying so hard in recent years to cleanse up the image of J. B. Danquah and the charges leveled against him as being a stooge of Western imperialism and CIA mole in Ghana. Then, in a full circle, the Institute shifted a gear to uphold Danquah's plans and turns out to align with the most anti-African organization that, in many respects, seems to have been set up to perpetuate the Slavery-Plantation mechanisms and mentality in refined, modern structures.
  
  If one wanted to know what heritage the Heritage Foundation is supposed to preserve, by their policies, none fits better than the 'Plantation' Heritage of the down South in the USA.
  
  Long Live Ghana!!!

  Really? The NPP and its mouthpiece institutes are aligning themselves with the Heritage Foundation? This organization promotes racist, neo-fascist, anti-feminist policies in the US. Now Ghanaians know the true colors of the NPP and its allies. This definitely is not the party that should govern Ghana and I hope Ghanaians never forget this. Everyone should read more about the Heritage Foundation. You will be very disgusted at their policies.
