    Bleeding Hearts

    http://www.poconorecord.com/article/...89/101010/NEWS




    PITTSBURGH (AP) — Activists are protesting an oil and gas firm’s $100,000 donation to a major breast cancer advocacy group.
    The activists say the Susan G. Komen organization should refuse the donation from Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc. The check presentation will take place Sunday before the Pittsburgh Steelers game. Opponents are planning to rally in a park across from Heinz Field.
    Breast cancer survivor Dana Dolney is director of Friends of the Harmed, a local group that supports people who say they’ve been harmed by gas drilling. She tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Komen shouldn’t allow companies to use breast cancer publicity to improve their image.
    Komen says in a statement there are “strong opinions” on the issue but adds that employees of the oilfield services firm have shown “passion and commitment” to the cause.

    So these people want the Susan G. Komen foundation to refuse the $100,000 that would help fight breast cancer to prevent the gas company from improving their image even though them refusing the money won't tarnish the gas company's image. Can we all officially define liberalism as a thinking disorder

    Liberal is just a fancy term for "terminally stupid."

    Mental disorder.

    Can't be a liberal without being a hypocrite.

    I guarantee those activists still use gasoline in their cars, natural gas to heat their homes and jet fuel when they fly somewhere. They are hypocrites. Not to mention all the American jobs the energy employs and the taxes they pay. As long as they are responsible their productivity should be praised, not ridiculed.

    That $100,000 donation just help pay a small part of Komen's salary.

    Kind of wasting their money anyway. SGK is more interested in suing other breast cancer charities than they are in discovering a cure.

    It's not that they're "stupid" so much as they don't think. Their beliefs are derived from their emotions rather than reason.
    Ironically, they consider themselves to be the "intellectuals" in the crowd.

    Re: Bleeding Hearts

    There are some interesting replies:

    Donna Mueller

    they'll take the money, how else can they afford those 6 figure non-prof salaries for doing basically NOTHING????

    Gary Geddes

    Is Nancy Brinker still getting her $500,000 salary from the Foundation not including her all First Class unlimited Travel budget now that she is Ambassador to Hungary is it?..
    So I guess my questions is how much of the money goes towards curing cancer or helping those WITH cancer?

    All alone, or in twos,
    The ones who really love you
    Walk up and down outside the wall.
    Some hand in hand
    And some gathered together in bands.
    The bleeding hearts and artists
    Make their stand.
    And when they've given you their all
    Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
    Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.

    Here is a fine example of a liberal argument
