It would be interesting of the Right Wing actually walked the walk and talked the talk.

An Ohio State highway patrol (click title to entry - thank you) helicopter leaves the grounds of Chardon High School as students leave the area in Chardon, Ohio February 27, 2012....


Instead of spending millions and billions on immoral political agenda's based in lies and half truths, perhaps the GOP, Tea Party and Santorum should have actually lived up to their godly purpose.


It seems to me as two more students die there is a huge gap in what the Right Wing says and what it actually does.  For the millions and billions they spend on election strategies based in nonsense and anti-constitutional rhetoric they could do actually be doing 'good works' like outreach to challenged young people.   Oh, but, that responsibility belongs to big government and not the faithful.

Third Student Dies After Ohio School Shooting (click here)


A third student has died from wounds suffered in a shooting at a school in the central U.S. state of Ohio.

One victim died hours after the shooting Monday. Two others died on Tuesday, while another two are recovering from their wounds.

The alleged attacker appeared in court Tuesday. Authorities say they apprehended the teenage suspect Monday afternoon, after he allegedly opened fire on students inside the Chardon High School cafeteria.

Witnesses and local news reports say he is T.J. Lane, a student at a nearby school for at-risk youth. Authorities say his motive remains unclear.

A lawyer for the suspect told local media Monday that his family is "devastated" and has expressed condolences to the victims' families. The lawyer described the suspect as a "fairly quiet" and "good kid" who, to his knowledge, has never been in any trouble....

To say, Mr. Lane was troubled is an understatement.  He had more personal pain than any young person I have ever heard of, in that his brother is in prison, his parents are absent in his life and he was being raised by a Grandmother.  If that wasn't painful enough, he was bullied for his difference.

Where is the Koch Brothers Right Wing outreach for troubled youth? Nowhere to be found.  The Koch Brothers and those like them are more immoral the more they are scrutinized.

The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation (click here) was established with the stated purpose of advancing social progress and well-being through the development, application and dissemination of "the Science of Liberty". Charles' and David's foundations have together provided millions of dollars to a variety of organizations, usually libertarian or conservative think tanks, such as Americans for Prosperity Foundation, the Cato Institute, the Mercatus Center, the Institute for Humane StudiesCitizens for a Sound Economy, the Institute for Justice, the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, the Institute for Energy Research, the Foundation for Research on Economics and the EnvironmentHeritage Foundation, the Manhattan Institute, the George C. Marshall Institute, the Reason Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. The foundation also funds study groups called Koch Scholars who gather and read "an assortment of select books, movies, and podcasts surrounding the principles of a free society." Colleges where such groups exist include the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

There so called charitable giving is for the sole purpose of developing more profits for their corporation.  

And Rupert Murdoch isn't much better.  Homes for lost kittys.  Just wants to make a soul cry.

...For many years, (click here) Ruperthas been involved in the charity Moguls Find Lost Kittens (or M.I.L.K.).  He started it after his son ,Lachlan, lost his kitten ,Joey, when he was 17 years old and wouldn’t stop crying, screaming and sucking his thumb. 
Rupert vowed to find Joey and launched a charity in the process called Murdoch Finds Lost Kittens (also M.I.L.K.).  (It was changed to“Moguls” after Jeffrey Immelt and Sumner Redstone heard about it and also wanted to get involved.  Legend has it they both had traumatic childhoods that involved lost kittens.)
The party was okay.  The food not bad.  I didn’t realize it was BYOB so I had to bum a couple of beers from Sheryl Crow, who was the evening’s entertainment.  There wasn’t room in the apartment for her band – so she just did a few songs on acoustic guitar....

Conde Naste’s Portfolio Magazine has compiled a list of billionaires ranked by their charitable donations. The Generosity Index itemizes fifty of the wealthiest individuals as donors, relative to their wealth.

Coming in fiftieth is the miserly media mogul, Rupert Murdoch. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that an uber-conservative, Republican monopolist, should finish last in expressions of charity. The Republican me - first ideology that values greedy self - centrism predictably drives people like Murdoch to the bottom of these lists.
At the other end of the spectrum, the top five most generous billionaires (Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Eli Broad, George Soros, and John Kluge) are all reliable supporters of Democrats and most have contributed to the campaign of Barack Obama.
This news bite is just a little more evidence that Republicans tend to be selfish, social Darwinians and Democrats tend to have more compassion and concern for the well being of others.

But, the same billionaires that lie at the bottom of charitable lists will be the first to derive satisfaction from advocating the role of government in the lives of families and children.  They are the first to praise the faithful while they put cash in their back pockets from doing so.  Ah, yes, Murdoch and all those million - billionaires that make corruption possible in the USA political arena won't reach out to young people in sincere needs of help, but, heck at least they have kittens.  Maybe.


"The Class of Murdoch" are two faced, controlling and Anti-American.
