No lie— I talked with Dad the Liberal on the phone this morning and out of the blue he begins expressing his admiration for newly-confirmed UNC President Thomas Ross.

I knew Ross was a Democrat –what would you expect form UNC — and that the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation was a lefty organization. But Dad’s endorsement only served to heighten my suspicion. Sure enough:

During his almost seven years as Executive Director of the left-wing, Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Ross oversaw massive contributions to an enormous array of far-left liberal activist organizations. He took what was already a politically active foundation, founded by one of North Carolina’s most prominent families, and turned it into an active organizer and funder of the lefts political agenda in North Carolina. All manner of socially left organizations were on the foundation’s dole under Ross’s administration, including the radical and nefarious ACORN organization.

Other groups funded by the Reynolds Foundation include Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the ACLU and Rainbow Youth Coalition.
