To be fair board positions are perhaps the most incestuous of inventions of modern times, people selected not so much for their industry knowledge or technical expertise or as a reward for loyal senior executives...they've become more political and people chosen more for their contacts, their color and their gender. Left, Right and Middle all partake and some outfits more notorious and nefarious than others, some more crony-dependent on extorted taxpayers via corrupt politicians than others, some more openly hostile to American Exceptionalism and Judeo-Christian Heritage and Founding Principles than others. It is typical human behavior to aggregate with your own like-kind and that cannot be eliminated entirely...it's the proverbial bad apples getting away with murder that is so irksome and sullies the rest. All part of the larger battle being waged.
