BUMP
a charity my foot
let me guess that close to 100% of their untaxed revenue goes to their top brass
how can a partisan political rag be a 501c3?
Indeed.
Mother Jones publisher and president John Harris was paid $101,976 in fiscal year 2010. Editor in chiefs Clara Jeffery and Monika Bauerlein were paid $166,423 and $161,684 respectively in 2010. CFO and COO Madeleine Buckingham didn’t do all that shabby either, raking in a cool $155,987.

I don’t know how they get away with it. Media Matters does the same chit. I look around and the only way I see things changing is through us but how to stop them— I’m still not sure.
There are three big “progressive” i.e. socialist mags: The Nation, The Progressive, and Mother Jones. The Nation is the oldest and the one that at one time meekly and dutifully obeyed the orders it got from Stalinist Russia. Not that the other two mags are any better. They would all like to see the downfall of free-enterprise capitalism and some sort of socialist state. Hopefully, with themselves in charge.
Media Matters is worse in some ways. They work hand in hand with Eric Holder and the DOJ. Mother Jones simply breaks the law as they see fit.
“Hopefully, with themselves in charge.”
That’s the game plan, it seems.
I once read a leftist claim that the elite always pushes mysticism while the "common man" is a materialist. This of course is pure hooey, and even the left knows it, which is why they celebrate rather than attack the religions of "indigenous pipples."
If Mother Jones believed in G-d, then atheists have no right to name a magazine after her. If she did not, then she was merely another elitist.

I made sure to mention it in my new article
Mother Jones was nothing more than a rabble rousing socialist union organizer and community organizer. (She was Chairman Obama before there was a Chairman Obama.) I’d be hard pressed to call her an intellectual.
“You don’t have to necessarily give up worldly possessions to make such a difference, after all my friends at the magazine all make six figures.”
Outstanding!
Hey, like your blog btw! Kudos!
Thank you
Started it last Thursday or so. Got about 700 page views today I think. I hope it stays popular.
Eric Holder’s department of just us will get on this right away. I’m so sure. This is yet another reason to impeach the blighter.
“The Department of Just Us” ?
Consider that stolen...er...uh...redistributed! Yeah, that’s it! Redistributed!
A rabble rousing socialist union organizer might have believed in G-d once, in earlier days. The point is that the people who now use her name are intellectuals, and G-dless ones at that.
“Shared.” You shared it with me. You’re welcome to it, sweetie.
Ah! Now I got it! (Feeling crunchy...very crunchy...)
You bring up an interesting point that should be explored further. Since when does being an intellectual mean one has to be an atheist ? Some of the most prominent thinkers in world history were religious or at believed in God in one form or another. (St. Augustine, St. Thomas, the Founders, and yes, Albert Einstein believed in God in his own way.)
Hmmm....sounds like a future blog....Thank you!
A belated Happy New Year, FRiend!
L’Shana Tova!

Although I still don't think you're getting my point. It's not that one can be an intellectual and believe in G-d, but that one could conceivably be a leftist without being either an atheist or an intellectual. That's almost impossible in our own day, but it might have been possible in prior times.
