Thinking like a liberal: An impossible task for the rational
Trying to make sense of madness
As difficult as it is to imagine, anti-Koch activists in New York City spent the past weekend protesting a $100 million donation to New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Groups as diverse as the New York State Nurses’ Association — which should be celebrating the creation of dozens of jobs for nurses and enhanced patient care — the NAACP New York State Conference and SEIU unionists waved signs and trilled songs in protest of the hospital’s plans to add an ambulatory care center, to be called the David H. Koch Center.
The new addition to the hospital is made possible in large part by the beyond-generous donation from David Koch, one of the politically conservative, billionaire philanthropist Koch brothers who have, in recent years, been targeted by leftist politicians, activists and media elites.
Yet despite the fact that David Koch gave what is purportedly the largest donation in the hospital’s history, according to this report in the Washington Free Beacon, radical liberals are outraged that the hospital accepted his money.
Activists organized the protest on International Women’s Day, even descending on David Koch’s Park Avenue apartment while screeching about the Kochs’ funding of a nonexistant “war on women’s reproductive rights — and many other issues of concern to American women.”
Such are the bizarre workings of liberal minds.
The Daily Caller reports that other protesters complained that the Kochs were the financial backers of the “War on Women,” and hoped to drive the Kochs–and their generous humanitarian donations –– out of New York.
The nurses union Tweeted messages such as “Patients, not profits!” and “Quality care, not Koch care” and “If there ain’t going to be no justice, there ain’t going to be no peace!”
