Rolling in pork: Henry Lamb tracks fed handouts to radical greens

Spread the idea around. If there was mandatory drug testing for employees, contractors (this includes lawyers), of all 501(c) tax-exempt corporations as a condition for non-profit status, none of the Leftist "non-profits" would get anyone to work for them or they would get so few that they could not operate. Many of the ecofascist non-profits would dry up and blow away like aging dung. (This would include testing for marijuana use.)

If this is a required reporting mechanism by the Federal government under the IRS code and monitered at the organizations' expense by an independent testing agency, goodbye Greenpeace, goodbye Sierra Club, goodbye ACLU, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Leftist pot smoking, LSD dropping, ecstacy eating, heroine and cocaine abusing scum!

Not just the 'watermelon' environmental groups, but the whole panoply of non-profit bleeding-heart foundations needs to have its Federal funding eviscerated. They profess to be helping poor folks, but by and large they are boondoggles for mobilizing armies of otherwise unemployable social-work and liberal-arts majors. These worthless parasites, along with the unions, provide the foot soldiers for the Democratic machine. They need a boot in the ass and an honest job in the private sector to keep them out of mischief.

I hope W. is thinking this far ahead and this ruthlessly. If so, we will bleed the leftists white, and the Republicans can be cemented in power for a generation.

Not meaning to dash your hopes, ccmay, but if you recall from pre-9/11 days (that's when serious debate essentially came to an end), Pres. Bush was actually heading the opposite direction from what you are suggesting.

His plan to give grants to churches and "faith-based organizations" was the compassionate conservative version of the Democrats funding unions and greenies so they'd stay subservient. It was a sure-fire, guaranteed way to corrupt those churches that weren't already.

Enough of these subsidies! It doesn't matter who gets them, they become wards of the state and as a result are intensely interested in perpetuating whatever government programs will bring more money their way.

Here's one way they get their funding. We're about to have one of their little projects in action here in the NW. The Greens want to "expand" the size of Mt. Rainier National Park. They want include the land on a little finger of land with the road that leads into the Carbon River entrance. The land is currently owned by a timber company (Plum Creek) and a private parcel owned by an old couple who wants to sell and move back to civilization. (One of the rare cases of a willing seller).

The way it will work is this: The Greens will buy the two parcels of land, hold it, and as soon as Congress authorizes the money, the Greens will sell it to the Govt. at several times what they paid for it. It's a nice little racket. The Govt. could just as easily buy it directly, but they allow the Greens to "save the land", (nothing to save, it's not going anywhere). the govt. Greens help their enviro-buddies, and then the Govt. can expand the park, close the road and lock up the land.

They see this as a win-win. To the taxpayers, it's a lose-lose. The press plays along with this scam and acts like this is wonder because the park is being enlarged, the land is being "saved", more endangered species will be protected, the evil timber company will never again cut trees within sight of the park, and the land will be preserved for some mythical unspecified "future generation."
