Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation: The overall objective of the Bradley Foundation is to return the U.S. to the days before governments began to regulate big business and before corporations were forced to make concessions to an organized labor force. Basically, capitalism without any checks and balances.

Smith Richardson Foundation: Built on the Vicks Vaporub fortune, it gives millions in grants to numerous conservative organizations, including The Brookings Institute and the American Enterprise Institute, among others.

Now I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with what they're doing or who they're contributing to, but I think their "facts" are as decidely right-leaning as Michael Moore's are left-leaning.

There is no truth, there is only interpretation. Horrifying.
There are thousands of these right-wing 'think tanks' that produce results on demand according to whatever evil deed the Repubs have been caught doing at a given moment. They give people like Gideon, who desperately NEED to believe in Republicans for some demented reason, something to say when there really is no defense for the things they do. And Michael Moore doesn't lie, but you'd think he was Satan himself according to how they demonize him. I sort of pity hardcore conservatives because I think for the most part they're damaged, insecure people. I HATE wishy washy motherfucking 'democrats' who won't call a spade a spade and enable these unamerican sob's in their shenanigans.
