Clinton Emails show Soros gives her marching orders

* what would a civil war look like in the US?
* who will be fighting against whom?
* what would be the objectives of this civil war be?

The Democratic Establishment, DNC and most left-wingers support a full repudiation of the 2nd Amendment.

1. Like the 1st American Civil War

2. Left-wingers, sympathetic police and military, and likely a UN "Peace Keeping" body as a confiscation force (versus) most gun-owners (right-wingers), Constitutionalists, and most current and former US military.

3. In the eyes of Liberals: a totally disarmed American public. Just like Mao, Stalin and Hitler did. Democrats seek a power monopoly of the State. That's how every Left-wing Government operates their country. No guns. Only the cops/military/State have guns. Peasants are disarmed

So true.

This just in: Citizen sends e-mail/letter to government.

I am sure you would have the exact same response if it was a Koch brother as the author and a repub as the recipient.

I love George Soros, if only because he angers the right wing idiots so much.

I love the Koch brothers.

The Kochs wouldn't write that kind of a letter. I don't think they care about people other than themselves.

Here is today's pop quiz. Who are the largest donors to the United Negro College Fund?

They're not the largest donors but, okay, I'm surprised.

There is a long list you will be surprised at. Who is the largest donor to the Broadcast College at Western Carolina University (which primarily serves the Cherokee Native American community)? The school specializes in people who run the equipment; cameras, sound, etc.

I am not necessarily a Koch brothers fan, but you need to look at their contributions to causes in balance from a big picture perspective.

As a side note, take a look at the battle brewing in South Dakota where the Koch brothers are fighting a ballot measure which would require their network(s) to reveal their donors. Interesting story. USA today has a good article in Wednesday's edition on this.

Kochs Oppose IM 22 to Hide Rich Donors
Posted 2016-08-17 09:26 by caheidelberger Comment
Ah, so now we have the real reason the Koch brothers are trying to defeatInitiated Measure 22, the Anti-Corruption Act. It’s not so much the “Democracy Credits” that would encourage some candidates to stick with small donors but which the Kochs are deceptively portraying as “welfare for politicians.” It’s IM 22’s requirement that the Kochs and other PAC attackers tell us who’s funding them:

A group tied to billionaire Charles Koch has unleashed an aggressive campaign to kill a ballot measure in South Dakota that would require Koch-affiliated groups and others like them to reveal their donors’ identities — part of a sustained effort by his powerful network to keep government agencies and the public from learning more about its financial backers [Fredreka Schouten, “Charles Koch’s Network Launches New Fight to Keep Donors Secret,” USA Today, 2016.08.17].

Why don’t the Kochs want us to know who all contributes to their politicking?

Luke Hilgemann, Americans for Prosperity’s national CEO, cast the South Dakota fight as a battle to protect donors’ free-speech rights. Politicians who have been targeted by AFP over taxes and other policy issues over the years now want to unmask contributors’ identities “because they don’t like us bringing these issues to light and holding them accountable,” he said.

He argued that revealing donors’ identities could subject them to threats and intimidation and drive them away from funding advocacy groups.

“The chilling of public discourse is a bad path for the country to go on,” he said [Schouten, 2016.08.17].

So the Koch donors want to hold others accountable, but they don’t want to be held accountable themselves? That sounds awfully Trumpy to me.

And please, billionaires, don’t whine to me about threats and intimidation. If you participate in the political process, especially when you bring to bear far more financial firepower than regular working voters do, the rest of ushave every right to know about your influence and check your influence by giving our small donations to the other folks in the race.

The Kochs’ astroturf Defeat22.com isn’t trying to defend South Dakota voters or taxpayers. Defeat22.com is trying keep secret the rich guys who are trying to buy South Dakota politics.
