Why is Americans for Prosperity in retreat?

[zooeyhall]

Yes sir..."Americans for Prosperity!"

...for billionaires, that is

[anniemcu]

This is so wrong!

Even George Wallace finally saw the light, and denounced his earlier racist segregationist stance. ( Google "George Wallace apology" )

The Koch Brothers are funding hateful legislation throughout the US. We, as Americans, cannot afford to let them buy out our integrity. We have come too far to let big money and small souls undermine our principals again.

[ethangirlsmom]

Don't kid yourself that AfP (Koch brothers) is in retreat. They have an ambitious plan to own the U.S., use its people badly, and control the wealth. And the plan is going very well, thank you. I would suggest doing the exact opposite of counting them out.

[ethangirlsmom]

You understand, do you not, that this is just the tip of the iceberg? Kochs' plan is to end public education entirely, replacing it with fundamentalist school receiving tax money to operate. The plan is developing well in Michigan, and will be the result of this whole campaign against public education and for indoctrination.

[cennon]

Make no mistake about it. The Koch Brothers are America's domestic enemies. We the American people need to view these traitors like we view Osama Bin Laden.

There is nothing "right" about the Christian Right....or most Christians.

[HostileNegotiator]

This is worse then going back to the 1950s. These people want to go back 2,000 years. When the easily controlled population couldn't read or write.

[Dlanorepmart]

I tried calling David Koch today. I was told that he wasn't in.

In the Atlanta Way...NORTHSIDE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS were never integrated...the segregation remains within the walls of the NORTHSIDE APS schools. Team 1 - Team 2 - Team 3 ...The groups are judged by the students as SMART, AVERAGE and DUMB ---- WHITE, MIXED, AND BLACK. ATLANTA can't re-segregate on the northside because they are already segregated at the middle school and high school. NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS are the Atlanta Way- and internal transfers hide the SECRETS IN APS.

Its really simple ~ its the Take Everything Away Party. Take away our jobs to benefit big oil, take away our clean water and air to benefit big oil and Take Away Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and thirty years of progress on civil rights because a couple of Texas Oil Billionaires are agin' it.

[TKDMike58]

TEA BAGGERS - OLD -FAT - WHITE - RACIST - HOMOPHOBES, basically the GOP in a nutshell

[andiamoci22]

we had forced busing when i grew up in chicago. While I do think it is important to desegregate. My education took a great step backwards after that. Lessons basically ground to a snails pace because "busees" couldnt keep up. Not mention the crime that followed.

[hawgey]

@andiamoci22 are you sure it wasn't you who couldn't keep up?

[themiddleman009]

who's gunna call David Koch?

[fatman1001]

Hey, where can i sign a petition to support brave new films on this???

[mizonglohong]

The Koch brothers are evil. They are behind all the union stripping and voter suppression laws that are trying to be pushed in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, etc. They have money and will try to force their slimy agenda on this nation. However, people are beginning to open their eyes and see these creatures for what they are and are fighting back. We may not have money like they do, but we have hearts and souls and care about our sick and needy. We will not be pushed back into the darkness!!!!

[dangerouslytalented]

This is what is known as a "wedge issue". They get the racists riled up about this, and all the organising helps when getting OTHER initiatives through. Abortion is the same deal. The Koch brothers might not give a shit that black kids and white kids are in the same schools, but they can use this to get their way on tax cuts for billionaires or fewer environmental restrictions.

[wearestarstuffsagan]

amazingly ironic that something named "americans for prosperity" supports segregation

[TerryEdlin]

Why would ANYONE want to return to segregated schools or anything else? What a primitive idea!

[TheClarkeReport]

It is a tragedy, that we as a nation are going backwards because of these individuals. They must be stopped. If not, we will go back in time and do this all over again. That's plain and simple.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

The Koch Brothers will be successful in installing their master Sarah Palin into the White House. Palin with the help of the Kochs will COMPLETELY DESTROY Brave New Foundation along with Media Matters, Moveon, ACLU, and MOST OF ALL the YOUNG TURDS! We will be a COMPLETE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN PALINATION lead by GOD's CHOSEN ONE Sarah Palin!

[libbyleftfield]

@ecwaufisxtreme Went and checked your profile in the hope what I see here is sarcasm, but you either have serious issues or take the Pat Buchanan approach to publicity, say whatever outlandish wild crap it takes to keep attention fixed on you. As for policy, misguided is a serious understatement. The very expression of christian and the modern conservative is in and of itself, an oxymoron. As for the Sarah stuff? Then you woke up. I'd like to buy the Koch's a world so they'd leave ours alone...

[dangerouslytalented]

@libbyleftfield yeah, it is trolling, I have caught him a couple of times saying what he REALLY thinks about Palin.

[TerryEdlin]

@ecwaufisxtreme What is Christian about the Christian right?

[themiddleman009]

@TerryEdlin they believe in white capitalist jesus...

[RegioLunar]

@ecwaufisxtreme I´m being afraid of s.o. like her next to the big red button....
