With leftists the rule of opposites applies.

Democracy = a boot on your face

Compassion = hate and censorship

NGO = government funded leftist organization

Crushingly simple. And true.

[blackdog]

Simplicity and brevity.

By definition, this is the truth. This also breaks it down for the average person, who never heard of or thought about what that government agency means.

I have to disagree.

Plenty of formerly charitable organizations have succumbed to the lure of government funding and over time become addicted to those funds.

Once great Catholic Charities will be lucky to survive cuts in government support.

This brings up a question I have on NGOs in general. When some bureaucrat distributes money to them, or even if congress were to directly send them money, what sort of reporting requirements do these NGOs need to comply with? A rigorous line by line accounting of every dollar they spend? No meaningful accounting? Somewhere in between? And if these NGOs do make reports, who gets to see them? It seems that any public money should be strictly accounted for in terms of what it is spent on, and the public needs to have ready access to this information.

Good point.

It is so refreshing to see “common sense” returning to political discussion.

[Irenic]

Oh logic. :)

[Blood of Tyrants]

Exactly. It was just another unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy.

So simple...Never put the two together before. Very good!
