Brilliant journalism exposes the obvious

Thank goodness for Curt Guyette’s interview with Russ Bellant. If not for the article, I never would have known the shocking news that Republican Dick DeVos and his family support conservative causes and free market think tanks. How stunning to read that DeVos promoted school choice to reform our broken education system and supports low taxes. What a surprise that DeVos contributes to the Acton Institute and the Mackinac Center, two well-respected think tanks that promote the benefits of free markets over centralized government control. Who would have ever thought that a conservative in this day of “moderates” would encourage such things?

Will your next hard hitting exposé tell us that Democrat Jennifer Granholm supports liberal causes such as capping the profits of legitimate businesses and using preferential treatment as a form of slave reparations?
