  • His columns included pieces praising Wal-Mart's efficiency
  • He extols the role of religion in forming the glue that bonds communities.
  • written three books defending the war in Iraq,
  • a nation he has visited four times as an embedded journalist.
  • Zinsmeister wrote in his column last June. "With the exception of periodic flare-ups in isolated corners, our struggle in Iraq as warfare is over,"

Per Source Watch, American Enterprise Institute is a center base for many neoconservatives. Between 1985 and 2001, AEI received $29,653,933 from John M. Olin Foundation and The Scaife Foundations among many others
