Neo-McCarthyism Strikes again
I found this link at morons.org: http://www.progressive.org/mcwatch03/mc063003.html I don't know if anyone else has posted this (sometimes it's hard to keep track,) but Bush Co. is now targeting nongovernmental organizations for being un-American. This quote is a killer:

The two groups held a conference in June on this new dastardly threat. "An unelected few have access to growing and unregulated power," the promo for the conference said. "The extraordinary growth of advocacy NGOs in liberal democracies has the potential to undermine the sovereignty of constitutional democracies."


Unelected? Geez, isn't that the whore calling the nun a slut?
Love,
Yaoi Huntress Earth

2. Wow...like the name
One time I was talking about yaoi with a freind and someone asked if I was talking about religion, because we kept saying Yaweh. He looked rather peeved and incredulous when I told him it was a japanese word that loosely meant "stop that, my butt hurts!".

3. Hard to demand "rebate" campaign contributions for tax cuts that
did not help the tax free NGO's. Besides they can't contribute by law.

So maybe we just scare them a bit and foundation money will move to the "study" of conservative government themes and our friends who might do such studies.
