Georgia-Pacific makes a lot of household paper products. Quilted Northern toilet paper, Angel Soft toilet paper, Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Vanity Fair napkins, etc. If you use any of them, Barack Obama wants you to report yourself to the government. No, I’m not making this up.
On twitter last night, whoever the idiot is who runs the President’s twitter feed (I assume it is not him), put up this tweet reading:
Add your name to demand that the Koch brothers make their donors public: http://OFA.BO/mfLtZX
Now, I know the President is pretty clueless about the free market system, but I did not realize he was that clueless. The Koch Brothers make their money by providing goods and services within the free market. Their donors are actually customers buying products. That’s how they got their money. And in Barack Obama’s America, it is increasingly hard to do in the private sector.
In truth, I have no doubt the President really wants to target for harassment those people contributing to political groups organized by the Koch Brothers. You are willfully naive if you think that won’t happen. Look what happened to so many who contributed to Proposition 8 in California. Look at the labor union goons who show up at people’s houses to harass them and their families.
It is not disclosure the President wants. It is a list of names his supporters can intimidate and harass.
In the 2008 campaign, the President’s campaign intentionally turned off the safeguards to his online donations form — the safeguards used to make sure his campaign complied with federal law accepting campaign donations. Because those safeguard were out, foreign citizens outside the country were able to donate to the President’s campaign. Small donors are not disclosed.
If the President is serious about disclosure, perhaps the President should release the names of his small donors. We know John Galt of Ayn Rand Lane was one of his donors with no problem. Who else did so? Oh, some Palestinians in October of 2007 who donated from a refugee camp in Gaza. They weren’t caught until sometime around August of 2008 after 32 successful contributions.
The Obama campaign has had a storied history of returning contributions really, really slowly.
So, Mr. President — if you believe in transparency, given your campaign’s ridiculous history of allowing phony low dollar contributions from made up people, why don’t you realize all your low dollar donors before you start demanding the Koch Brothers release anything?
By the way, do we want to talk about foreign donors to labor unions?

What are you doing?
feather Thursday, March 1st at 5:06AM EDT (link)A customer is not a donor. You know that. Why are you using the meanings of the two words as if they were the same?
Calling for identification of contributors to a PAC is not the same as “outing” people who buy their products. Why would you try to confuse the two?

Seedyrom (Diary) Thursday, March 1st at 11:45AM EDT (link)Nor do you comprehend privacy laws in the USA. Let alone do you even care to ask your messiah to share his list of donors and explain why people donated more than the maximum limit due to the fact that your liberal buddies lifted the credit card software set limits so libbies could violate federal law with fake names and real names.
I think I will run out and buy some Quilted Northern.

Political donors
fedup4life Thursday, March 1st at 6:51AM EDT (link)There must be lots of small donors who are receiving government handouts…. welfare, housing,food stamps, etc. Where are they getting their money?

And what about Soros?
darl444 Thursday, March 1st at 7:55AM EDT (link)Wonder why there is no mention of doing the same for good old boy George Soros, or Buffet, or Gates, or so many of the other donors to PACs supporting… Oh, that’s right, they are supporting Obama…
Interesting how the White House is always one way on it’s harassment of others.

While I’m here and scribbling isn’t it kinda weird that with all the nasty stuff the Koch’s supposedly do, Progressives never, ever bring up the massive donations that the Koch Bros. make to the Arts and Public Broadcasting, among countless other good works.
Makes me wonder if there’s An Agenda going on here…..
Feather proves IGNORANCE rules
ariyosef (Diary) Thursday, March 1st at 8:01AM EDT (link)The BHO web site is the one “Confused” along with Feather.
Quoting:
Americans for Prosperity, the special-interest front group run by the oil billionaire Koch brothers, is claiming that its donors are “tens of thousands” of folks “from all walks of life.”
We’re asking them to prove it by disclosing their donors to the public.
Demand the truth by adding your name.”
OBVIOUSLY their funds come from free enterprise profits of millions of buyers.
Is the site subtly calling for a ‘crippling’ boycott? Anything to stop the TRUTH.
Yes BHO’s # 1 enemy is anyone who can spread TRUTH in response to the LIES he spreads like he believes most American’s are like Feather ….
who cannot connect the dots in the simplest of explanations.
Cant you just see the next move?
This issue will be the prime time story in 24 hours….
“Koch bros millions in excessive profits.”
How unfair of them to use American’s $ against BHO.
This is just bait to escalate to grocery store boycotts of these products.
Fit’s right in with OW’s a BHO sponsored, Acorn type, smoke screen…
wait and see.
BHO’s plan: “CRIPPLE anyone who dares to oppose me and tell the truth~!”
This is the face of the one most responsible for Crippling America today – BzHO.
And this clown is getting away with it!~ witness “feather”.
Principle & Truth Trump Politics.
Truth, Faith, Freedom, Fortitude prevail when We STAND, then Creator FIGHTS.
Quitters lose. with no damage to ENEMY & forfeit rewards except due a sluggard.

Stuck on Stupid
daveinthed Thursday, March 1st at 8:33AM EDT (link)Obama’s real dumb. His “targeting” of his political adervsaries has already served to weaken, if not wreck, the economy over the last 3+ years. So what does he do now? MORE of the same!
I’d say that I’m astonished that someone could be so dense, but I’m not. He’s an Alinsky-bred LIBeral, and they have been trained to remain very focused on the “prize” (of wealth redistribution) regardless of what’s going on around them. In fact, the more choas and misery there is, the better for the statist who wants to take over vast swaths of the economy and your life.
Buffoonery is what I call it.
This ploy is really no
funwithknives Thursday, March 1st at 10:05AM EDT (link)different than the dozens of others Our Sainted Leader{_od Bless Him and Keep Him}has tried out on the Citizenry. If nothing comes of it, he’ll just go on to some other noodling, mash-up of an idea.
If it is not apparent to anyone who can think Objectively {by now, surely} we, in total, are viewed as Lab Rats to be experimented on by Progressives and their ilk. One theorem after another is broached, commented on for a while , goes about it’s business and generally fades away, as most are ill-thought out in a Leftist’s vacumn/echo chamber.
{That would be called:UnReality}
If only People actually USED the brain their Creator gave them….
If only it were true.

Laws? Constitution? No Way!
superamerican (Diary) Thursday, March 1st at 12:55PM EDT (link)Obama and the Democrats have no morals; it is win at any and all costs. The Rule of Law is how they choose to arbitrarily decide. The Laws are made to weasel around or disregard. The Constitution? What is that, he asks.
Republicans get a clue. The opposition is the opposition. Give them no quarter. Go after them.
Start with Sustainable Spending. That needs to be the mantra of the Republican Party.

Controlling the message
RDCook (Diary) Thursday, March 1st at 5:31PM EDT (link)This is another example of attempted censorship by the left. Here are a couple of other examples. When GM was restructured, many of the more successful dealerships that were closed were owned by supporters of the right. Gibson Guitar (Republican supporter) was targeted and products seized while Martin Guitar (Democrat supporter) was not bothered at all. Ruin a businees that supports the right and you destroy their ability to participate in democracy.
Definition of the U.S. Constitution
tomarch Thursday, March 1st at 9:40PM EDT (link)A Definition:
The U.S. Constitution:
A document – ultimately agreed upon – which protects us
from the few (of the day) masquerading as the “government”.
The ones who own the government, and who hope that we, like
Pavlov’s dogs, will salivate for the party that is against them , (?!)
the power mongers. The “rich” aren’t hurt by politicking against
the rich.
The division-mongering makes them money, especially as it
enables more government grabs … money which filters in many ways
through their own hands.
To be left is to be owned by the true “rich”. A simple trick of the wolf taxing people to go after wolves. And the money goes into the wolves’ pockets.
The “right” is not the party of the rich. It’s just anti modern day slavery to those. The “fat cats” are not on the right, but behind the curtain, on the left.
This includes theologists.
A given:
Those theologists that are in power are almost always those which
oppose your own theology. On the world stage can we think of any
theologies that may disagree with our own? With letting us have our own?
One reason certain phrases in the Constitution are rather vague, ambiguous:
so that the signers and supporters will not meet with
mysterious untimely demise.
This problem is as old as time itself. Those who do not know history are
doomed to repeat it.
