Thanks for the repost; I had not seen this previously.

"When the government funds a group to do things you may not disagree with, it frees up resources for it to do things you do disagree with," said O'Toole.

Exactly !!
The federal government has no authority to provide any funding to any specific group, regardless of their political or social position. It is getting close to the time when we will need to reacquaint the new Tories in DC of the consequences brought on by The Declaration of Independence.

Thanks for the ping, e-s.

Any organization that receives any taxpayer money should be required to post a prominent notice to that effect on all fund-raising appeals [at least].

"The federal government has no authority to provide any funding to any specific group, regardless of their political or social position."

While I was in government, I developed tinitus in my left ear from the constant din of the leftist buzz phrase... "Public/Private Partnership!"

It was part of "Reinventing Government!" It was to provide opportunities for "collaberation" between Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO's) and the world's greatest "Democracy!"

It always lead to ways to use taxpayer extractions called a "revenue stream" to throw money down some stream on some stupid "erosion control" or "watershed restoration" or "viewshed restoration" or "hysterical (excuse me) historical restoration" or some other pet project of the CA Native Plant Society, or the Audubon Society, or the American River Conservancy, yada, yada, yada... BARF!!!

snopercod, as to post #16, that is called "chummin the waters for rants!" Right?
