I respect Samaritan’s Purse starting to step up for Aaron and Melissa Klein, the former owners of the Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery. They need to do it for ALL these persecuted Christians, and other Christian groups should start doing the same.

Funny, the LEFT always want OTHER people to FUND THEM;
... and usually they want the government to confiscate the funding from TAX PAYERS
to pay the cost of their COMMUNISTS policies, ... FOR THEM!

The quickest the LEFT DIES, the better !

Rather interesting suggestion considering the Left does it’s best to get funding entities to deny Conservative causes utilization of such entities.

Not everyone on the Left is using these tactics. It's the homosexual movement Leftists who are doing this, going all the way back to the Anita Bryant mauling and accelerating after the gays comprehensively and completely lost the James Dale (Boy Scouts of America) case in 2000.

Losing Dale caused homosexuals to go into orbit, and then into Vindictive Little Tart mode, and they redoubled their efforts to destroy the BSA by using gay agents of influence on corporate boards who serve on e.g. The United Way board to cut off all financial support to the BSA. The United Way was one of the first eleemosynary organizations to cut off all ties to the BSA because of Dale, and they were quite candid that they were doing so because of entreaties from Movement gays.

Which makes it an interesting intellectual exercise, to weigh whether United Way and friends should lose their tax-exempt status because of their transparent political canoodling with the Pervert Left.

>> Sounds like all conservatives should go to other competing sites

Which essentially leaves conservatives off in the corner — too many mainstream operations have succumbed to the influence of the Left.

While your suggestion is good, the overall response by half the population (which is Republican/Conservative) needs to be more profound. And that requires leadership which is currently being delegated to conservative media personalities.

The United Way lost a lot of donations over their denial of funds to the BSA. I never donate to them anymore.

I’m very much in sympathy or alignment with your comments there.

They deserved to, and not just because of their BSA maltreatment, or because they were paying their senior executives like maharajahs while rattling the cup at people's places of employment in gently arm-twisting ways.

They're a study in what's wrong with Big Philanthropy.
