Why would you cancelled your donation for scholarships that may get someone out of poverty, and get them to start voting such as yourself.

I had previously been a DeToqueville Society member of the United Way, donating fairly substantial sums. I cancelled my donations yesterday. I refuse to provide monetary support to people who destroyed the nation. I guess they can get all thier money from Obama.

I had two scholarships to the local Catholic High School and one to our state university- cancelled. To hell with Obama supporters.


This really makes perfect sense. You want the government to get out of the charity business, so you withdraw your support for private charities. It's kind of like getting in a fight and punching yourself in the face.

i am also tired of buildings being named after politicians. sell the name of buildings to private citizens and put the money to pay down the debt--- as the politicians never did anything for us.

That poster probably doesn't even give to charity. The idea that a person who wanted to help their fellow man would stop based on an election makes no sense. He is just pretending.

The college students turned out en masse to vote for Obama because he's promised them government bailouts on their loans.

I worked my way through college, I didn't take out any loans -- so I think college students today can do the same. I wouldn't dream of giving someone who is able-bodied free money. They can work for what they like, same as I did.

...The Republican values on education straight from the horse's mouth. Removing educational opportunities for children whose parents may or may not have voted for Obama.

We could make a million of dollars off of the name Robert C. Byrd alone.

List of places named after Robert Byrd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When and what state did you attend college? Might I ask.
