Bush are helping with that demographic, either.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-33322404517674455052016-09-18T20:24:39.387+01:002016-09-18T20:24:39.387+01:00What the left doesn't get is that "one an...What the left doesn't get is that "one and done" isn't an anti-corporate control of society campaign.

Nice to hear from you again, it's been awhile.<br /><br />And yeah, foundations are a racket to start with and I've been disheartened to see how many people take for granted that because the Clintons claim it is doing all this useful work, it must be true. Especially since it's long been obvious that these "market solutions" to poverty simply skim money and enrich the rich rather than doing any real good to the purported beneficiaries.Avedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702100335744054401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-91772688169369236762016-09-13T14:35:08.953+01:002016-09-13T14:35:08.953+01:00Since there are no other comments on this one, and...Since there are no other comments on this one, and not enough on other recent posts, let me say how much I appreciate this blog. The links you point to are usually interesting and often valuable. I especially appreciate being alerted to the article on the Clinton Foundation, which will be useful in answering the flood of propaganda Clinton partisans have been spewing out.
