And even if corporations did give disproportionately to the right, the comparison doesn't hold up. Shareholders are free to invest in companies whose politics are more in line with their own. But if you're a Republican electrician in a state that mandates union membership, your options are simple: Pay the dues demanded of you, or find another line of work.
So to answer our original question, there really isn't a Richard Mellon Scaife of the left. There are a few Ted Turners and Barbara Streisands -- people so rich that they can afford to be generous with your money. But much of the rest of the money that funds leftist causes comes from unwitting autoworkers, from reluctant taxpayers and from the oblivious parents of college students.
Yes.
It comes from you.
ABOUT US
Founded in 1996, Cucumber Communications is one of the nation's most rapidly expanding communications companies today. Headquartered in Lakewood , New Jersey, Cucumber Communications stands for simple, long-distance services coupled with excellent customer support. They have developed one of the industries most scalable and reliable communication networks within the United States.
Cucumber Communications makes it easy for busy people to support causes they care about. Through our long distance services, customers can generate donations for progressive nonprofit groups just by doing what they do every day. Best of all, it does not cost a penny more.
Cucumber Communications is a division of Oorah. ALL our profits go to nonprofit groups working for human rights and children's education. With Cucumber, every call you make builds a better world.
They have goofy sounding commercials on WABC Radio in NYC, so I wondered who they were. Who this 'Oorah' is, I don't know. It all just seems like so much identity laundering.
Also, they support a wide variety of leftist NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) almost all of which are leftist in orientation.
The enviro-whackos are importantly funded by government contracts and grants from..., you guessed it, the EPA. For example, the American Lung Association got an $800K grant from the EPA for the express purpose of suing the EPA, "forcing" it to implement tougher air-quality standards.
Similarly, for example, labor-oriented NGOs are funded by...the Department of Labor.
PETA gets money from...the Department of Fish & Wildlife.
In truth, the federal government is the biggest source of funding for the leftist NGOs. Which means the taxpayers are footing their bills. That is, to be specific, us.
Slowly, but surely, the Bush administration has been cutting off contracts and grants, defunding the rascals.
Which is one of the little noted reasons for all the panicked screaming coming from the loony left...
Bush funds new programs to pay for minority education at tax PAYER'S expense
Let's not blame the dems... we are are fast "taking on as our very own" every item in their platform...
Thank God, for the thousands of points of blight... your wallets, as we pay for more and more social spending and big brother government programs.. "all for da widdle chidrun."
Who is funding the left. Apparently W wants us to.
puke.
Robert, you and I can't stop this subversion as long as we have people in public office who are not well grounded in Conservatism.
The reference to "one issue flunkie" seeks to make light of the folks who continually damn others for disagreeing on one issue with Bush, as if there weren't a mountain of them surfacing. Sadly, the folks we used to think were Conservatives, are outing themselves as nothing more than cheerleaders for the current home team on the field. "Oh look, they come from Republican High. Give me an "R", give men an "E", give me a "P"... It's disgusting.
Dropping the two theater theory of defense...
Eliminating 75% of our remaining nuclear deterent...
Allowing our borders to remain wide open...
Allowing immigration to continue from middle-eastern nations who's citizens are trianed from birth to destest us, destroy us...
Allowing the issuance of educational visas to foreign nationals to continue...
Pandering to illegal immigrants that do not have our nation's best interests at heart...
Trying to eliminate our borders altogether...
Not canning department heads, and agency directors when they allow known terrorists to infiltrate our nation...
Increasing funding to government departments that have declared war on Conservatism, the Department of Education et al...
Developing a program to filter federal funds to Marxist NGOs through the faith based welfare innitiatives...
I could go on. Why bother?
Look bud, you know what's going on. I'm glad to see it.
Like you I will continue to support Bush when I can, but I will not capitulate on actions he has taken that are clearly and dangerously detrimental to our nation's best interests.
When I mentioned the phrase "people who are well grounded on Conservatism" I did it for a reason. Nobody should have to remind any Conservative that criminal behavior should be revealed and punished. Nobody should have remind any Conservative that increasing the DoE budget by $40 billion was the wrong thing to do. Bedrock core issues don't have to be explained. Conservatives simply know better than to further the left's grip on those issues by any means.
We will not have our heads in the game until we refuse to elect any more RINOs to public office. And until we do get our head back in the game, we are going to lose more and more of what made this nation great once upon a time. The A.N.S.W.E.R. rallies should reveal why we cannot give an inch. Whatever furthers the left's interests, furthers the grip these very folks have on this nation. End it today. Death to the liberal/marxist agenda once and for all. NO MORE COMPROMISE!
I will say it unitl I am blue in the face. Defund the left...defund the left...defund the left.
