The attack on Komen was manufactured, orchestrated and promoted entirely by the leftest main stream media.

A long as the Left controls NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,NYT,WP conservatives will remain virtually powerless to turn around the decline of America.

No politician, no organization, no corporation no matter how large, no matter how rich, no matter how popular can stand up to them.
Likewise no group on the left; teachers unions, unions in general, environmental extremists, race baiters, Democratic politicians Hollywood filth merchants and America haters could survive the scrutiny of an honest un-biased media. The survival of all the hateful tentacles of the leftest beast are dependent on their maintaining control of the main stream media. All efforts to weaken these tentacles will fail as long as the left controls the main stream media.

All the complaints and exposes by MRC, Fox News and Newsbusters are insufficient. Unless conservatives are willing to take some direct concrete action to punish financially the lefts propaganda machine and the corporations whose advertising dollars support this machine nothing will change for the better.

Rochester NY is now giving out condoms in their high schools. I believe this will be just another base for Planned Parenthood under a different name, i.e., a referral center. ALL PAID FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT.

You got talkradio and the internet for the conservatives, but that is about it.

let’s not forget how Komen’s donations skyrocketed since they announce no more PP funding. One wonders if they’ll return all that money???

Why do they call it PLANNED PARENTHOOD when it involves UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES and MURDER ?

Reading into this that they will continue to explore ways to get away from future grants to PP. What a mess. Reading the posts on facebook, SGK has managed to piss off people on all sides of the issue. At least the issue has been raised and has even given traction to the issue of PP supporting the Girl Scouts. Yay for that.

Cowards...

The liberal Death Factory is up and running again...can’t let those infants slip through the cracks, now...

Komen...fighting breast cancer to let adults live...while giving money to the Murder Machine to deny infants a chance to.

Yeah...that’s about right.

Mike Savage was right...liberalism IS a mental disorder.

Not to mention the fact that Abortion seems to increase the risk of breast cancer based on some recent studies.

This is because when a woman is pregnant her body prepares for the baby by increasing the growth rate of the breast tissue, an unexpected end to that pregnancy causes the body to be disrupted hormonally.

It’s not that throwing tantrums works. It’s that people who can wield the power of government, writing a private group “urging” them to do something, essentially threatening them with force, works.

What a kick in the face. Now all the donations they got from pro-lifers will go to fund abortions. Wow.

“..Not to mention the fact that Abortion seems to increase the risk of breast cancer ...

Those people are frigging insane. Justifying murder on the one hand, but yet “fighting for life” on the other hand.

But hey...WE’RE the “extremists”, right....go figure.

If you used your credit card you can contact you credit card company directly and have them give you the charge back. It happened to me on another instance and I had no trouble getting the money back.

Many of these charities are businesses pure and simple. You really want to help out with the fight against cancer ? Help the person ! Help them with bills that tend to build up when something like this affects them and their families. Be a listening ear, help with transportation, babysitting, meals etc....

Was only a matter of time.

Hopefully people will reserach their charities more carefully.

If one made a pledge based on their decision to end PP support, one only has to renege on the pledge and tell them to stick it.

I’m sure glad I didn’t reward them yesterday with a donation. Now... they get nothing... ever.
