I posted this on another thread where another Freeper sarcastically referred to Steve Jobs as "a bright shining example of humanity" because he never was known for giving money to charitable causes, while singing the praises of Bill Gates, who gives loads of money to "charitable causes" (Scare quotes are mine)

(NOTE: This post was not about Steve Jobs, because the man was flawed in many ways and this was not in "defense" of him, but was rather an illustration that perhaps if Bill Gates was more like Steve Jobs, many anti-American, scumbag leftist groups wouldn't be nearly as well funded.) My posting was as follows:

BEGIN EXCERPT

Quoted from another website: "...The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with assets of $29 billion as of 2005, has focused on the “population” side of the “problem” in the past, sending billions of dollars in grants to such pro-abortion groups as Planned Parenthood; Population Action International, Population Services International, the Alan Guttmacher Institute, and the Population Resource Center. Gates has also financed such organizations as the [Soros supported] Tides Center, the Tides Foundation, the National Council of La Raza, and has supported a gun control initiative in Washington state..."

Most liberals just love to hear what a "bright and shining example of humanity" Bill Gates is because of the billions of dollars he has donated. Most liberals don't have the wherewithal, energy or mental acuity to scratch below the surface on ANY issue, but if they did on this issue, they would get on their liberal knees and sing hosannas to Bill and Melinda Gates.

But the hate of Steve Jobs by some people, including many conservatives, trumps all. Personally, I wish Bill Gates had BURNED his damned bloody money instead of doing the heavy living for the like of the Tides Foundation, La Raza and the like.

But hey. Bill Gates is a good guy doing the work that Obama and his ilk just can't accomplish because selfish, lousy conservatives in and out of government are in the way of Uncle Sam having an open checkbook. Bill can just GIVE all his money to causes we absolutely detest, and we just love him for that, don't we?

I just wonder how much of those lovely billions of dollars donated by that "bright and shining example of humanity" ended up allowing this display of "bright and shining humanity" that I ran into during one of the counter-protests I participated in down in Washington?

I always wondered...who paid the money to allow the closure of the Memorial Bridge across the Potomac to Arlington National Cemetery (where this picture was taken)? Who paid for the porta-potties the liberals set up? Who paid for the busses to bring this liberal scum to protest outside Arlington? Who paid for the signs they carried?

I wonder...who? Who paid for all that? Hmm. What "bright and shining example of humanity" made all that possible? I am sure it all came from $5 donations in cans from mom's and pop's in front of supermarkets all across America, right?

Right?

END EXCERPT

Yeah. Who indeed supplies the money? This graphic below is, again, from Jeff Head's great website at OCCUPY WALL STREET: WHAT IS IT AND WHY . I agree with Jeff Head in this, in that money that flows into those giant liberal piggy banks like the Tides Foundation finds its way into all of these things we see as blots on the goodness of this country of ours. They wouldn't advertise it, but it is a fair bet that, instead of denying it if asked directly, would smile broadly at the success of funding these leftist, anti-American movements.

My advice in the posting above was basically a suggestion to find some other "bright shining example of humanity" as a contrast to Steve Jobs, because I don't accept Bill and Melinda Gates as the appropriate contrast.
