“There is little doubt that the rash of anti-choice measures that flooded the legislative dockets in state capitols in 2013 was a coordinated effort by anti-choice groups and major right-wing donors lurking anonymously behind the facades of the non-profit “social welfare” organizations unleashed to tear up the political landscape, thanks to the high court’s decision in Citizens United,” Stan wrote.
“Helping to drive the right-wing offensive in the states and in Congress is a network of deep-pocketed business titans convened by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, principals in Koch Industries, the second-largest privately held corporation in the United States,” she continued.
While the Kochs and their satellite groups profess to be interested more in business policy and deregulation than social issues, their true agenda is an all-out “war on women,” said RH Reality Check.
Politico detailed how the Koch network uses the shell company Freedom Partners as a clearinghouse. A bloc of around 200 donors give an average of $100,000 per year to Freedom Partners.
Freedom Partners awarded more than $236 million in grants to anti-choice groups and other far-right causes since its inception in November of 2011. The group’s outlay is second only to Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, which has awarded more than $300 million to conservative causes and politicians.
Among the groups who have been on the receiving end of Freedom Partners’ largess include the Center to Protect Patient Rights, a virulently anti-abortion and anti-Obamacare group; the Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, a right-wing social pressure group; Generation Opportunity, a group that targets “Liberty-loving” young people and Americans for Prosperity, a think-tank and policy group that works closely with the Republican Party on the presidential nominating process.
Keep this in mind the next time you hear how "the majority of the country is against women having access to abortions." No it is NOT the majority of the country, it just a handful of wealthy patriarchal assholes who believe that they have the right to tell women what they can do with their own bodies.
And they are supported by various religious leaders whose very faith is based on keeping women in their place and convincing them to subjugate themselves to men.
Those f$%king Koch Brothers make me sick.
ReplyDeleteFuck this shit! We did not elect these bastards! If they want to change the world run like any other person or STFU. Don't impose your fake xtain bs on me!
ReplyDeleteStop buying their shitty brands where they make their money, and they will have less to give away to pollute the airwaves with the TeaBagger Bullshit!

New App Lets You Boycott Koch Brothers, Monsanto And More By Scanning Your Shopping Cart
Or make your own list. But all they understand is power gained through their big fucking piles of cash.
A truly sad legacy a person leaves when the world will become a better place by them dying.
ReplyDeleteThe Koch brothers can't die soon enough. Hopefully their inheritors have some sense of charity for their fellow people.
These SOB's are anti-American s***heads with a colossal sense of superiority and the money to do a whole lot of damage.
ReplyDeleteThey're also just bitter old men who didn't have any fun in their childhoods because their daddy was a mean, bitter old shit. So they think that's the conditions everyone else should have imposed on them. Do you remember the animated classic, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town- the Burgermeister Meister Burger character? That's the Kochs, with some Scrooge and the Grinch thrown in, only no climactic redemption.
ReplyDeleteI bet that neither Charles or David could give a toss about abortion. It's a hair-trigger issue that they know will work with the "fundies" and other dimwitted voters.

Of course the second the Kock brothers knock up their mistresses they will be sending them to the butcher.
ReplyDeleteIn my own sweet, demure, ladylike way, and I want to say...FUCK THEM!
ReplyDeleteSorry...lost my pretty little head there for a minute.
Thanks. That eases my regret about whatever f-bombs I just typed out before I read yours. I don't even remember specifically what I said, but I know I meant it.
DeleteThese cocksuckers would rather see newborns starve than have the unborn exist.
ReplyDeleteEnemies of the republic. Pure and simple.

If ever there were poster children for pro abortion, that photo fits the bill!
ReplyDeleteThey are two of the most dangerous men in America.
ReplyDeleteThese two assholes make me sick. They think that just because they have money that they can buy the legislative process to get what they want.
ReplyDeleteNothing rubs me the wrong way any more than trust fund babies that are no more than a couple of punks.
If only they could be called back home to God, and very soon. Immediately would work for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be the sh*t would be a "47%" type video of the kochsucker aholes spouting off about how they can't stand the poor uneducated fundies and how they are only using them for their own plutocratic ends. You just KNOW they talk like that to other richie rich types behind closed doors at "planning" meetings.
ReplyDeleteThose two creeps truly induce vomiting. Love their shiny white teeth and their sincere smiles.
ReplyDeleteThese rich fu*** want poverty, that's why they want no abortions, no birth control, no healthcare. No voting for liberal ppl. Women stuck at home, no jobs but trying to take care of all these kids that are going to result from these policies . No education for the children, and then they will have to take the idle children to work in their industries ,child forced labor. It's all in the big plan.. Everything privatized , we won't even be able to get on the road in front of our houses, or go vote if we are able, for the tolls we will have to pay, for privatizing everything. . Time to make the rich pay their fair share instead of having all this money to throw at elections, and bribing elected officials. They are starting to talk of slavery coming back.
ReplyDeleteExactly. There was never a more loyal employee than a single mother. She will work a cr@ppy job, for cr@ppy pay, and take cr@p from her boss all day, just to keep her kids fed. These policies guarantee a never-ending supply of such women.
DeleteAbortion is the hook that spawns Kochroaches!
