4588686 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Right... directed by Robert Greenwald, native New Yorker, winner of awards from the esteemed NAACP and the ACLU. If anyone can write a documentary to advance "Progressive" causes, it would be him. Move over, Michael Moore. I look directly at the public sources and see their contributions. I like what the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Museum of Natural History contribute to society. Someone has to fund them. Why am I not surprised that out of all of that, both you and Hasan challenge the Koch bros statement, and ignore everything else? As if George Soros and Bloomberg are up for canonization... C'mon... The ACLU is a fantastic organization and has, as an organization, done more good in this country that the Koch brother's or Michael Bloomberg could ever hope to do. I don't understand your second paragraph. Are you under the impression that these organizations are not well funded? Regarding your third paragraph, my only point was that, like George Soros, the Koch brothers invest vast sums of money into their respective political causes.

RC Patriot Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My first response was a bit hasty... Sorry if it sounded uncharitable. The ACLU of the past has done great things. In fact, so has the NAACP. In the last several years, however, I think they've outlived their usefulness, and in an attempt to justify their existence, they create issues where there are none, or flat out violate the civil rights of some (typically freedoms of religion) in order to promote the civil rights of others. Or, in the case of the NAACP, create "race issues" from anything. My point about funding is that rather than watch a slanted "documentary" or listen to Glenn Beck, and take it as fact, I looked up the public records of political contributions and made my decision based on that. I have no problem with people using their personal wealth to advance their goals. I'm annoyed that some sheople fall for it, but we all have to take responsibility for the situation we're in. My actual point still goes unanswered, though. ....What is money, and where does it come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
