Koch Brothers = Jim Demint = Heritage Foundation Shutdown Fails




The Koch brothers have denied having any skin in the shutdown game, but the simple fact is their own groups were instrumental in orchestrating it, from lobbying congressmen to take a hard line on defunding Obamacare to harassing those who didn’t get on board. The New York Times points to a Heritage Foundation effort to run internet ads in North Carolina districts against 100 candidates who didn’t sign a pledge from NC Rep Mark Meadows urging Boehner to push for defunding. Eventually 80 of them got on board. 
 Both FreedomWorks and the Heritage Foundation urged the House to vote “no” on the final deal that came from Senate and was resoundingly passed. So how do they feel now that their shutdown was squashed? Bitter. 
 Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, called Republicans’ capitulation “a total surrender.” He’s still convinced his hostage-taking shutdown strategy would have worked, if Republicans had just had the balls to take it all the way to a default: “We don’t have regrets,” Kibbe said. “This was a very winnable fight, if the Republicans had been willing to fight.”

Atheist David Koch Funds Builds Daycare Center for MIT Elites While His Tea Party Shutdown Screws all the ‘Po Folks Kids Out Of Government Paid Daycare





David H. Koch, a billionaire philanthropist and MIT graduate known as much for his conservative activism as for his generosity, had attended dozens of these meetings, but had never been so moved. “I got a tear in my eye,” he said. 
 Koch, who had already given the Massachusetts Institute of Technology about $150 million for research and faculty positions, decided to spend $20 million more on day care. 
 On Friday, the David H. Koch Childcare Center will be dedicated, in a celebration that highlights a major and ongoing shift in universities’ thinking about recruiting and retaining people who do world-class research. The best professors, scientists, and researchers are not just minds, universities have increasingly acknowledged; they have families, too.  
The new center will serve 126 infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. It nearly doubles MIT’s day-care slots on campus.

Nothing like working the white elites at MIT to death at a different level than in all his coal mines.  Nothing like separating mothers from their kids for 18 hours a day? etc. while mom works on new Technology to make David Koch richer.

Hell, Mike Bloomberg has already given over a billion to his alma mater Johns Hopkins. Koch for being richer than Bloomberg is one cheap son of a bitch when it comes to his alma mater MIT etc. lol

Texas Wisdom of Senator Ted Cruz - Words of Praise for Texan Rubes that Elected Him





Cheers to Texas - Founder of the Current Chaos in Washington DC.


When Texas voters showed up at the polls on Election Day 2012, they made an important choice. Slightly more than fifty-six percent of those participating selected Ted Cruz as the man they wanted to represent their state as their United States Senator.

But how many Texans who pulled the lever for Cruz believed that what they were really doing was choosing the leader of a small band of elected officials seeking to destroy the United States government from within rather than electing someone who would be dedicated to looking out for the interests of his state in the upper chamber of Congress?


If it was an effective senator Texas was looking for, they clearly chose very poorly—something Texans have, apparently, now figured out.
