A lie that was debunked months ago, but I wouldn't expect an obama lover to want to deal with the truth..

Looks like you struck a nerve, have you ever noticed how threads about reality get ignored?

Dot Bob's threads get largely ignored in general. All he does is regurgitate Soros marching orders and talking points. Why waste time on even opening them?

Well Soros has not sent me marching orders or talking points so I would like the link to see if the original OP has any validity.

While this article is certainly slanted, I can find no source on the internet debunking the relevant facts. That being said, the portion of the article regarding the instilling of Koch Industries Core Principles seems like a non-issue to me. Every corporation I have worked for has always tried to teach its management and most of its employees the guiding principles management would like to see executed as part of the corporate culture. Since the article does not list those 10 principles, how are we to know they are not such things like "Put the Customer First" or "Deal ethically with vendors or clients"?

The part that does bother me is the apparent door Citizen's United has opened to corporate political indoctrination and the ability of corporations to pressure or coerce employees to vote a certain way. It is not okay when unions do it, and it is not okay when your employer does it.

I think Citizens United is going to be regarded as one of worst mistakes of the Supreme Court and will further push our government away from the average citizen and into the hands of corporate interests. If we thought bailing out Goldman Saks and GM was bad, I think it will get much worse. All the time the far right was warning us about "Activist Judges", they neglected to mention that they didn't mean "Their Kind" of activist judges.
