What! Turmoil in silly cone valley! How can that be? We've been informed repeatedly how awesomely inclusive and tolerant these folks are.

Yup. Just think. They could almost solve glowbull warming with money like that. LOL! Then the bears could sleep in.

Yeah, they get rich partly by selling to Conservative people, then they ban us on their web sites. I hope they all crash.

Is there any charity anywhere run by leftists that is not corrupt, self-serving, oriented towards liberal causes and ultimately lines the pockets of rich elitist liberals?
I didnt think so.
To: rktman
We need to abolish all non-profit organization exemptions across-the-board. They need to be held to the same laws as everyone else. Theres nothing inherently good about non-profitin fact its anti-American at the core. These money-laundering projects are a clear and present danger to our country.
Before you start railing about your good charity, tell me if youd stop donating because you lost your tax write off.

Yet to her colleagues, Ms. Loijens was known as a bully who regularly made offensive remarks.
During one meeting, Ms. Dupras said she mentioned to the group that she wasn't feeling well, eliciting a sexually charged retort from Ms. Loijens.
"She said I was pretty good looking and might be pregnant," Ms. Dupras said. "She said, 'You might want to get that checked out.'"
Elizabeth Dressel, who left the foundation in 2012, said that one evening, a young black woman on her team was working late. Ms. Loijens approached the young woman and said, "O.K. slave, come into my office."
At another meeting, Ms. Dupras said Ms. Loijens threatened her staff. Employees were supposed to take meetings with donors or their advisers in pairs, but Ms. Loijens learned that someone had met with a donor without a partner.
"Then she said, 'If I ever catch you having a meeting by yourself, I'll kill you,'" Ms. Dupras said.
And there you have it.
Proglib comrat.
Absolutely convinced of their superiority above all others.
Believes they should rightfully have the power and authority of life and death.
Probably wants the United States to implement socialism on a nationwide scale...

Charity?
More like a political action committee!

Just added a few more realities to your excellent reply!
Is there any charity, city, county, state, or business anywhere run by leftists that is not corrupt, self-serving, oriented towards liberal causes and ultimately lines the pockets of rich elitist liberals?

And yet when Pence meets with ladies in pairs, he gets ridiculed.
Yet another double standard.

I agree with you 100%. End all special laws for non-profits. No one of ordinary means will stop donating to an actual charity if they lose their tax deduction.

Quit spewing left this drivel. Liberals would love nothing more than to have right wing and religious charities disappear so that the State can take care of our social problems. That is what welfare is for; to replace charities. Do you really want Big Government taking care of our needs.
Not me.
To: Freee-dame; pas
See my post 18. I would argue that removing tax breaks for charities will do more harm than good. The welfare state must not be allowed to grow and prosper. Making things harder for charities would only add to and increase the need for a socialist welfare state.

We founded the
Thunderbird Foundation twenty years ago.
How about sending a billion or two our way? Historic preservation is important too! We escaped Silicon Valley and their leftie elitists.
