Six Degrees of George Soros

Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 3:20:31 pm PDT

As we revealed here at LGF back on May 28th, the Scott McClellan book was published by a company that is owned by the Perseus Funds Group, a George Soros operation: The Soros-McClellan Connection.

It’s more than a little interesting to discover that James Johnson, currently under fire as the head of Barack Obama’s VP selection committee, is also the Vice Chairman of Perseus Funds.

Six degrees of George Soros, anyone?

That’s George in the blue shirt, sitting right next to the messiah in this photo:

Obama inadvertently slammed Jim Johnson in March, 2008
[Link: www.bloomberg.com...]

Obama, campaigning in Pennsylvania, criticized Countrywide for its role in the subprime mortgage crisis and denounced the millions of dollars the company's top executives will receive even as workers lose pensions and homeowners are forced to sell.

``What's wrong with this picture?'' Obama asked a crowd today in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. ``These are the folks who are responsible for infecting the economy and helping to create a home foreclosure crisis -- 2 million people may end up losing their homes.''

Over the years, Soros has written books giving his philosophical take on global affairs and acquired a reputation as something of a "stateless statesman." He calls himself a philanthropist and has given away $5 billion of his now $8.5 billion fortune through his principal vehicle, the Open Society Institute. The institute, in turn, has passed cash on to far more radical groups, such as MoveOn.org.

But Soros is no hands-off donor. According to the Open Society Institute's Web site: "Despite the breadth of his endeavors, Soros is personally involved in planning and implementing many of the foundation network's projects."

Soros says he gives away about $400 million annually.

It's an admirable picture, but "philanthropy" may be the wrong word. Unlike, say, Bill Gates, who really does put the bulk of his charity into helping the world's poor through medical services, Soros tends to fund pressure groups and foundations he misleadingly characterizes as promoting "civil society" and "democracy."

The image gives him moral cover to manipulate democracies whose voter verdicts he opposes.

30 MandyManners  Tue, Jun 10, 2008 3:30:11pm

In 2004 billionaire George Soros was “dedicating his life” to the defeat of President George Bush, whom he called a Nazi. Soros pledged to raise $75 million to defeat President Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, and personally donated nearly a third of that amount to anti-Bush groups He then gave $5 million to MoveOn.org, the group that produced political ads likening Bush to Adolf Hitler. He also contributed $10 million to the Democrat party.
Not content with his failure in 2004, Soros has picked the most Liberal Senator in the US Senate to back in 2008 Presidential race. On January 16, 2007, Obama announced the creation of a presidential exploratory committee, and within hours Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign finance laws.

There have always been Soros-types on the scene, either working for themselves, or working for a foreign power (eg Armand Hammers cosy relationship with the USSR)

The ever-present risk to the Republic is that the ultra-wealthy keep trying to buy the support of the poor, in order to steal the assets of the Middle Class

If it's anti-American (in the sense of anti-American Constitution or institutions), you can bet the bank that Soros is behind it.

He learned a lot from the Stalinists and has applied it worldwide. Confusion, obfuscation, stealth, Orwellian double-speak, corruption, etc. The guy really is a master of it all.

34 karmic_inquisitor  Tue, Jun 10, 2008 3:30:55pm

Considering that Soros is one of the world's most underhanded Hedge Fund divas and is credited with triggering the Asian currency crisis a decade ago, one wonders about the judgment of a "people's politician" who would take on such a figure as a patron.

Soros had no regrets when he single handedly destroyed many businesses and caused governments to topple in Asia so that he could make billions shorting currencies.

One sees his fingerprints on both the dollar's plunge and oil's rise. It makes sense that his entire foray into politics has been as an antagonist to American economic and military power.

Tivadar Schwartz, George Soros' father, rejected his own Judaism in youth, but found another "religion" at some point in the First World War. During his years as a Russian POW, Tivadar became enthralled with the obscure, synthetic language, Esperanto. He acquired a rudimentary knowledge of it from his fellow POWs.

Esperanto was devised by a Jewish physician in Warsaw during the 1880's. But it wasn't (and still isn't) just a made-up language; it served as the embodiment of a cult formed around the ideas of "internationalism, anti-sectarianism and cosmopolitanism," in the words of Soros biographer Michael Kaufman. (p.12)

Esperantists believe that a new world order of harmony and cooperation will be ushered in through the adoption of their made-up, one-world language. They see language as the vehicle that will enable them to re-create the world according to their own specifications.

Tivadar Schwartz seized upon the cult of Esperanto to fill his own God-shaped void, a vacuum created by his repudiation of Judaism.

If Tivadar and his fellow Esperantists had been as well-versed in their own Judaism as they were enthralled by their own intelligence and ingenuity, they would have clearly remembered that a strikingly similar idea had already been conceived and quite neatly recorded by their own ancestors.

It wasn't called Esperanto; it was called Babel

Pretty clever human (won't call him a man).

Use capitalism to make enough money to turn capitalism into communism by buying the hearts and minds of the weak, jealous, and failed.

Unfortunately, his risk is small, his army is legion, and his pockets are deep.

re: #29 MandyManners

He uses those "charity" dollars to cause upheaval that he has placed bets on. Those "charitable" contributions are really a cost of doing business.

Joe Kennedy made a fortune with inside trades and rumor mongering (which he then made illegal when FDR put the wolf in charge of the hen house at the SEC).

Soros is doing the same thing by more subtle means.

MoveOn and the rest of them are simply helping him drive down confidence in America because Soros has shorted America. That is his motivation.

I've wondered if he wasn't one of those deep sleeper agents out of the old Soviet Block, whose placement has paid off in spades. Only that his original masters are defunct, yet he stays on mission.

The fly in that theory is he funded Solidarity in Poland. Unless that was to build cred in the west.

Yeah. I think he realized early on that the most vocal critics of communism would be the eastern European countries that suffered the most during the Soviet era, so he had to befriend them in order to defang them later.

That is the creepiest pic of the Obama and his worshppers to date.

Here's the article.

The investment banker Robert Wolf first met Barack Obama one afternoon in December in a midtown conference room. Obama was in town to deliver a speech at a charity dinner for children in poverty at the Mandarin Oriental—but also to pursue another, less high-minded, but more momentous, objective: to begin the process of attempting to pick Hillary Clinton’s pocket.

The conference room belonged to George Soros, the billionaire bête noire of the right. After talking to Soros for an hour about his prospective bid for the White House, Obama walked down the hall and found assembled a dozen of the city’s heaviest-hitting Democratic fund-raisers: investment banker Hassan Nemazee, Wall Street power Blair Effron, private-equity hotshot Mark Gallogly, hedge-fund manager Orin Kramer. Most had been big-time John Kerry backers in 2004. Most had a connection to the Clintons. All were officially uncommitted for 2008.

Here is George talking trash about the economy, focusing on the US, in the May 18th Money magazine:

Question: In your 50 years in finance you've seen any number of crises. Why is this so bad?

Answer: Because two bubbles are deflating at once. There's the collapse of housing prices, of course. On top of that there's the end of what I call the superboom of credit expansion that has been going on for 25 years. That was made possible by a stable global financial system in which the dollar was the world's primary currency. Now, for many reasons, the system is in question and nothing has taken its place. That has created great uncertainty.

Q. And for us regular people it means...?

A. The days of rapid financial wealth creation are over. We're now in a period of wealth destruction. It is going to be very hard to preserve your wealth in these circumstances.

Q. Don't feel you have to sugarcoat your answer just for my sake.

A. Since the 1980s, the global financial system has been dominated by an ideology I call market fundamentalism - the idea that markets are perfect and regulations are always flawed. But markets aren't perfect. Left to their own devices, they always go to extremes of either euphoria or despair. The Federal Reserve and other regulators should recognize this, since they've had to bail out the markets in crisis after crisis since the 1980s.

He is short on the dollar and will cover when it collapses, and will do everything he can to cause it's collapse to maximize his gain. He is painting a picture of complete and total collapse of capitalism and has funded any group willing to egg that on. All so that he can make more money. The US economy has never been larger or more productive, but a hoarding mentality coupled with a financial panic can destroy businesses here as it did in Asia.

Scumbag.

I was going to tell an Obama joke to a friend at work today but asked her if she was for him first. She said she was, so I didn't tell the joke, but I sent her an e-mail saying I was surprised she was supporting him, and gave a laundry list of negatives about him. Here's her reply:

have you been listening to Rush Limbaugh...or Fox news? Everything you have said is so much BS....The Democrats who say they won't vote for him are closet racists. As for underqualified, inexperienced, and ignorant....are you really talking about Bush! Everyone in office has been associated with radicals and criminals at some time in their life, because you know someone doesn't make you one. As for his church, have you ever been to a black church? I have and I've listened to Rev Wright's speech.. all of it not just certain sound bites. Do I agree with everything he has said...no...but I didn't find it all that offensive either. As far as him talking to our "enemies"...well, I rather he talk to them and not do the Bush cowboy thing. I don't think Obama would put us in a war(for oil and profit) like Bush has done. It's a known fact that Bush and his administration has lied about everything and I'm ready for Obama and his new ideas. I don't think that he can destroy the middle class because Reagan and Bush have already done that. By the way, I vote for whoever I think is the best person for the job, Republican, Democrat, or Independent.....And I'll be your friend even if I think you are misguided. :)

Now, I knew this woman was a Democrat but it's like...being surrounded by pod people sometimes ...

From an interview with Buzzflash:

George Soros: I think that the Republican Party has been captured by a group of extremists who believe that they are in possession of the ultimate truth, and who don't believe in the system of democracy as we know it.

In general, our system of democracy has been based on two parties competing for the center. Today, one of the two major parties has been pushed to an extremist position and that has shifted the entire discourse very far in their direction. This has really brought into question the survival of open society in the United States. Now the situation may not be as dire as it sounds, because it is in the nature of an open society that it is always endangered. In the end, it's up to the electorate to protect our open society, and I am confident that that will happen. Since the large majority of people are not extremists, they will reject an extremist ideology.

?I am basically there to--to make money. I cannot and do not look at the social consequences of--of what I do.? George Soros, commenting on being blamed for the financial collapse of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and Russia. ?He can move world financial markets simply by voicing an opinion or destabilize a government by buying and selling its currency? [W]hen he saw cracks in the Asia boom, he began selling the currency in Thailand. Traders in Hong Kong followed suit, triggering a financial crisis that plunged much of Asia into a depression. (?George Soros,? 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)

?I don't feel guilty. Because I'm engaged in an amoral activity which is not meant to have anything to do with guilt.? George Soros, commenting on his actions in the currency markets. (?George Soros,? 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)

?But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was--well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets--that if I weren't there--of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would? be taking it away anyhow... whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the--I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.? George Soros, explaining his role in confiscating property from Jews in Nazi-occupied Budapest. (?George Soros,? 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)

Extended quotation from the 60 Minutes transcript follows: ?When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the
Jews.

Swell, the anti-Christ is a Hungarian financier.

Well, Soros is an apostate Jew, as the bible describes the anti-Christ would be. The scariest part is that he has the perfect puppet in Obama running for the most powerful position in the world.

Barry, who is nothing but an empty suit, will do his bidding. Obama IS beholden to Soros, he owes him everything. And when the time comes for the evil one to collect on his investment, Obama will not be able to deny him anything. Perilous times we live in, no doubt.

In general, our system of democracy has been based on two parties competing for the center. Today, one of the two major parties has been pushed to an extremist position and that has shifted the entire discourse very far in their direction. This has really brought into question the survival of open society in the United States

I don't know how much of a connection there is now between Obama and George Soros. Here is what I do know. Obama has a lot of radical friends and a lot of radical ideas. George Soros is the head radical of them all. Soros wants to buy the election for the Democrats, and then puppetteer the party to change America into his own twisted vision. Furthermore, on many issues Barack Obama and George Soros see eye to eye. Whatever the connection is now, I do know that if Obama is elected there will be a very strong connection. Here is how I made the connection.

If you read the interview you posted and the one I did, you see a common thread: uncertainty.

Soros is a guy who sees a stable system, places big bets that pay off if the system becomes unstable, and then marshalls all of his resources to create that instability.

Do you think Obama was referring to Soros when he was talking about regulating hedge funds? Reform: like the reform he brought to Chicago and the Illinois state senate. They are all part of the same crooked circle.

Obama Campaign Plans Fundraisers in China

Next week, the Obama campaign will hold two fundraising events in China.

The candidate himself won't be making an appearance. Instead, guests at the Bejing home of David Brooks, a Coca Cola executive there, will hear from two senior foreign policy fellows from the Brookings Institution who advise the Obama campaign, Ivo Daalder and Phil Gordon. If the June 17 appearance does not satisfy, American expatriates in China can hear the two foreign policy experts opine at an event on June 19 in Shanghai hosted by Ted Hornbein, an executive a Richco, a company that manufactures electronic components for cell phones and the like.

So, make this tie-in: George Soros and ''The Resistance."
Group Plans to Send Letters to Troops
in Iraq on How U.S. Government Planned 9/11

[Link: www.foxnews.com...]

Mark Dice, founder of The Resistance, which he calls a media watchdog group, says that the U.S. government was responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and that the armed forces should know it.

“People want the facts. The Marines are hungry for the truth — what got them there [in Iraq], why are they risking their lives — and we’re going to help them understand that,” he told FOX News.

Dice plans to send letters and declassified government documents that he says can prove the government’s responsibility for the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people — and he’s urging others to do the same.

But not everyone is thrilled that troops on the front lines may be bombarded by mail from Dice, a conspiracy theorist who believes that Freemasons worship Satan and that “the United States military has built enormous underground cities for the political elite.”

“These letters will end up in the toilet or on the firing range,” said Capt. Pete Hegseth, executive director of Vets for Freedom and a veteran of the Iraq War. “They just laugh off this kind of stuff.”

Blame do-nothing Republicans for high gas prices. That was the impression visitors to ABCNews.com got this afternoon.

Among the "top headlines" lineup Web site editors included a story on "Fueling Anger" with the teaser headline: "Rejected! Big Oil Tax Gets Shelved." [see related post about CBSNews.com's bias here]

The accompanying caption to the ABC photo illustration read, "With prices soaring, GOP halts Democrats' wide-ranging energy plan."

Nevermind that "windfall" taxing the oil companies' legitimate profits wouldn't lower gas prices and probably raise them, would serve as a disincentive to energy development, and IS DOWNRIGHT SOCIALIST AND UNAMERICAN!

Tivadar
[FB: that's Theodore in English, I suppose] Schwartz, George Soros' father, rejected his own Judaism in youth, but found another "religion" at some point in the First World War. During his years as a Russian POW, Tivadar became enthralled with the obscure, synthetic language, Esperanto. He acquired a rudimentary knowledge of it from his fellow POWs.

Esperanto was devised by a Jewish physician in Warsaw during the 1880's. But it wasn't (and still isn't) just a made-up language; it served as the embodiment of a cult formed around the ideas of "internationalism, anti-sectarianism and cosmopolitanism," in the words of Soros biographer Michael Kaufman. (p.12)

Esperantists believe that a new world order of harmony and cooperation will be ushered in through the adoption of their made-up, one-world language. They see language as the vehicle that will enable them to re-create the world according to their own specifications.

The funniest part of it, when delegates at early Esperanto conferences would socialize during the breaks, what language would they speak to each other?.... Yiddish.

I cannot think of a single "conlang" (constructed language) that ever found wide usage. Interlingua is sort-of fun though.

#10 - The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow

#24 - The Downhill Lie by Carl Hiaasen

#33 - Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler

#74 - The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder by Vincent Bugliosi

Ok so the two tops dems, promising to force Socialism and other "Universal" policies down the hardworking-taxpayers throught throat were able to get thousands of Dems to donate a total of $479 Million Dollars, and found it acceptable to just squander it?

I would imagine that if they put that together with what the other money Dems have raised for their campaigns (POTUS, Senate, Congress, and Local) they could privately put together all of their social programs without "having" to be elected to Office so they can force non-willing American taxpayers to do it later.

I was going to tell an Obama joke to a friend at work today but asked her if she was for him first. She said she was, so I didn't tell the joke, but I sent her an e-mail saying I was surprised she was supporting him, and gave a laundry list of negatives about him. Here's her reply:

have you been listening to Rush Limbaugh...or Fox news? Everything you have said is so much BS....The Democrats who say they won't vote for him are closet racists. As for underqualified, inexperienced, and ignorant....are you really talking about Bush! Everyone in office has been associated with radicals and criminals at some time in their life, because you know someone doesn't make you one. As for his church, have you ever been to a black church? I have and I've listened to Rev Wright's speech.. all of it not just certain sound bites. Do I agree with everything he has said...no...but I didn't find it all that offensive either. As far as him talking to our "enemies"...well, I rather he talk to them and not do the Bush cowboy thing. I don't think Obama would put us in a war(for oil and profit) like Bush has done. It's a known fact that Bush and his administration has lied about everything and I'm ready for Obama and his new ideas. I don't think that he can destroy the middle class because Reagan and Bush have already done that. By the way, I vote for whoever I think is the best person for the job, Republican, Democrat, or Independent.....And I'll be your friend even if I think you are misguided. :)

Now, I knew this woman was a Democrat but it's like...being surrounded by pod people sometimes ...

I think there's an important point here. Your friend's esteem for B-Ho is framed in terms of George Bush, and her frustration with Bush's administration. Bush's approval ratings are terrible, and I think that there are many voters out there that are attracted to Obama because--not only is B-Ho not Bush--he seems really, really different than Bush. It seems that she wants to vote for Obama to get back at Bush.
How can we get them to see the truth: BUSH IS NOT RUNNING? Your friend and so many others are attracted to B-Ho because he seems like the anti-Bush, and they don't care about what other baggage or consequences this ghost of a man may bring.

re: #180 WrathofG-d

what-d-he-do?

This is from Wikipedia. However, the other snippets I've read about him are far more stark:

The family changed its name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros, in response to growing anti-semitism with the rise of Fascism. Tivadar liked the new name because it is a palindrome and because it has a meaning. Though the specific meaning is left unstated in Kaufmann's biography, in Hungarian "soros" means "next in line, or designated successor", and in Esperanto it means "will soar". His son George was taught to speak Esperanto from birth and thus is one of the rare native Esperanto speakers. George Soros later said that he "grew up in a Jewish home," and that his parents were "cautious with their religious roots." However, Soros's father was proud of his Jewish roots (which can be seen in his memoir on his experiences during the holocaust, Masquerade).

[...]

Soros was thirteen years old when Nazi Germany took military control over its wavering ally Hungary (March 19, 1944), and started exterminating Hungarian Jews[8] in the Holocaust. Soros worked briefly for the Jewish Council, which had been established by the Nazis, to deliver messages to Jewish lawyers being called for deportation. Soros claims he was not aware of the consequence of the messages.[9] To avoid his son being apprehended by the Nazis, his father had Soros spend the summer of 1944 living with a non-Jewish Ministry of Agriculture employee, posing as his godson.

Look, people do horrible things to survive sheer evil, especially when you're young. But usually, when it's brought to their attention, their conscience kicks in and they're ashamed and repentant. But not Soros.

Just so that there is no "right-wing" spin attributed about Soros, his own words, from that 60 Minutes interview I mentioned:

"When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.

(Vintage footage of Jews walking in line; man dragging little boy in line)

KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.

(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)

KROFT: (Voiceover) You're a Hungarian Jew...

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

KROFT: (Voiceover) ...who escaped the Holocaust...

(Vintage footage of women walking by train)

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

(Vintage footage of people getting on train)

KROFT: (Voiceover) ...by–by posing as a Christian.

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.

(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)

KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.

Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made.

KROFT: In what way?

Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and–and anticipate events and when–when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a–a very personal experience of evil.

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that's–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

Mr. SOROS: Not–not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't–you don't see the connection. But it was–it created no–no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

Mr. SOROS: No.

KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?

Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c–I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was–well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets–that if I weren't there–of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would–would–would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the–whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the–I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt."

Wow, Soros is really evil. Normal people would feel guilty about doing something like that.

Not only doesn't Soros feel guilt, he admits it openly and sees nothing wrong with his behavior. Pure sociopathic evil.

Actually, my guess is narcissistic evil.

[not all narcissists are sociopaths, but all sociopaths are narcissists]

Fits in with Mandy's earlier Soros quote regarding "Messianic" fantasies.

He's a scary person. Plus he's the only person sitting the above picture. That says to me that he's so confident that he doesn't need to observe the conventional social norms. He's better than that. Another narcissist trait.

Unknown if it's already been linked.

The article attached to the photo.

The investment banker Robert Wolf first met Barack Obama one afternoon in December in a midtown conference room. Obama was in town to deliver a speech at a charity dinner for children in poverty at the Mandarin Oriental—but also to pursue another, less high-minded, but more momentous, objective: to begin the process of attempting to pick Hillary Clinton’s pocket.

The conference room belonged to George Soros, the billionaire bête noire of the right. After talking to Soros for an hour about his prospective bid for the White House, Obama walked down the hall and found assembled a dozen of the city’s heaviest-hitting Democratic fund-raisers: investment banker Hassan Nemazee, Wall Street power Blair Effron, private-equity hotshot Mark Gallogly, hedge-fund manager Orin Kramer. Most had been big-time John Kerry backers in 2004. Most had a connection to the Clintons. All were officially uncommitted for 2008.

People have been speculating as to why Obama chose such a dim, ponderous demo-fossil for the important job of vetting a V.P. candidate, and none could come up with a convincing reason. Now we know the reason.

Anybody wanna bet the vetting process is only for show, and Soros already has a candidate in mind?

BTW... Kudos to whomever put two and two together. Y'all ran circles around a lot of big name pundits. Congrats!


I think you're right about Soros picking the Obama's VP. Noticed that Obama hasn't throw James Johnson under the bus despite the controversy over Johnson being on his Veep committee. Very un-Obama like.

I think that Soros will want a VP candidate who is like Obama. A far out lefty who can appeal to moderates and independents with superficial slogans like Hope and Change! Who that person might be, I don't know.

I actually would give Soros a pass on helping the Nazis. He was 14 years old and had no choice.

It's his billionaire status that allows him to say that he didn't feel guilt. He doesn't care what us mortals think about him.

However, I can't forgive him for saying in 2003 that the increase in anti-semitism in the world is caused by Israel.

He has also formed a new anti-Israel pac to counteract AIPAC. Soros wrote in 2007 that Israel should negotiate with Hamas.

It's curious why he has such animosity towards Israel.

Soldiers write to IDF chief: Don't free hundreds of prisoners for us

Dozens of soldiers and officers from a reserve IDF infantry brigade have written a letter to the chief of the general staff, asking that he prevent Israel from freeing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for their release in the event that they are captured by the enemy, Channel 2 reported Tuesday.

"We are willing to sit in the enemy's prison as long as it takes," wrote the soldiers of the brigade, which is considered to be one of the army's finest, and would be one of the first to enter the Gaza Strip if the government decides on a large-scale military operation there.

Here's a fun thing to do:

When an Obama supporter who doesn't know your political leanings starts complaining about the price of gas, tell them you really want to hear Obama say that we'll start drilling for oil here. It shuts them up immediately, because although they personally want cheap gas from anywhere, they know Obama is against it, and can't/won't go against the words of the Messiah.

I think GW's lack of intellectuellite' was, and is, a strength. It could've been spun several positive ways. He could've been reported as pithy and homespun. But such was the hate, and so consistent was the press animus against him, that he was ridiculed. That said, the man is no saint. He is infuriating on many levels. But stupid? Inarticulate? Mendacious? Belligerent? Not by a long shot.

I'd say the better analog is Peter Angelos, who got rich off tobacco and asbestos suits, before buying the Orioles, and who has put up pathetically bad teams for most of his ownership, despite having one of the best stadiums in the major leagues built for him.

Steinbrenner came in after CBS nearly ran the Yankees into the ground and built a powerhouse that is a perennial winner.

And Steinbrenner never ever no way no how would have withdrawn from the battle field with victory within his grasp. Failure was not an option for George. For all his faults, as a Yankee Fan, I always appreciated that. He wanted to WIN.

Conservatives are not hungry nor strong willed enough and now we have been outsmarted by what looks like a concerted effort to socialize us. next steps..socialism....totalitarianism...we may have woke up waaaay too late!

Disagree. Conservatives have been fighting back since the late 1970s, with success. "Liberal" has been a dirty word for 28 years, and one which can be used strategically to condemn an US politician without even much effort.

E.g.:

The single worst thing that happened to Obama during this long primary fight was that he was successfully pigeon-holed by Hillary as being WAY more liberal than she (ideologically true, but both are fairly similar). Now that she's gone he can try to swing himself more towards the middle, i.e. more conservative.

This doesn't happen quite the same way in other countries.

Segolène Royale lost the French election because of many reasons, but primarily because she didn't evoke the passionate support amongst her Party (she was seen as not Lefty ENOUGH) and voters.

Sorry, but if Hamas wants to get a ceasefire, they've got the ability to do so. Lay down their weapons and release Shalit unconditionally, but we all know that is not going to happen. They have a war to fight, and Shalit is perceived to be a valuable pawn to secure the release of other Palestinian terrorists from Israeli jails.

Kids who grew up in the staid Eisenhower '50's and went to colleges with old fuddy-duddy conservative professors REBELLED against the "Establishment," rejecting everything they were taught (although most of them came to their senses later).

Ah, well, this is the tricky bit. See, what my Conservatism means to me is not an ideological zero-sum game. The Founding Fathers realised that to have a working, successful democracy both Parties (ultimately) would have to play a balancing role to each other.

I don't want America to have a Norwegian system where 50 years of Social Democratic Party governance is the case, but neither 50 years of Conservative Party rule as in other countries. That's not democratic, IMHO.

Thanks, Nana.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a recurring dream. It varies but the theme is always the same: I have to flee, leave my home, leave for who knows where. Sometimes I see the soldiers, sometimes I'm just in fear of evil. I have a hard time deciding what to pack. Before I had a child in real life, I would dream that I was caring for one or two children who belonged to someone else. After my child was born, I dreamt that I had to pack for her, too.

I don't have any family who perished in the Holocaust. I only learned about my Jewish ancestors in recent years and they were in England by 1800. I can only guess that my recurring dream is caused by what I've read over the years about the Holocaust.

But George Soros, who was there and who survived by a miracle, feels nothing and has no nightmares?

Only one?

As if only one is acceptable? Like some sort of fishing or hunting license everybody is allowed to anti-Semitic one time?

That excuse doesn't work when there are, (or were until we exposed them), dozens of anti-Semitic blogs, posts, and comments on Obama's official campaign website. All of which were allowed to stand unchallenged for months on end until we came along with the light of truth.

=

And then we have Kosling "Jed" who claims to be Jewish but doesn't seem to be aware of the hundreds of anti-Semitic posters, diaries, and comments that have infested Daily Kos, (as well as the like minded Huffington Post and Democratic Underground), almost since the day it went on line.

Here's a clue Jed, just because you ignore what is right in front of your face doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The simple fact that you "co-exist" with Jew haters on Kos means you at least condone their hate, if not outright agree with it.

That's right Jed, there is a four letter German word for what you are, assuming you're really a Jew.

BTW, Laura Bush continues to show that she's a class act and one of the finest First Ladies America has ever had.

She recently said that "admires the 'grit and strength' the New York senator" and that Michelle Obama probably meant "she's never been MORE proud of her country" but her words came out badly.

However, she did caution her First Lady successor:

re: #348 paxnhymn

we are NOT democratic..we are a representative republic. We are not being represented appropriately. When the other side was sane (kennedy era) your opinion is a good one. That time has long since passed. The left is now hell bent on this countries demise..many openly, so as a soldier I know that the only answer is to force their political demise by overwhelming force.

When I see people I know and like and have been friends with for years--hardworking middle-class Americans--supporting Obama, for some reason I'm reminded of something from the novel "The Killer Angels," about the battle of Gettysburg. Just before the start of hostilities, officers who know that they willl soon be facing each other across a battlefield spend one last pleasant evening together, them and their wives, just enjoying each others' company, filled with sadness at what is to come.

I could accept it if they supported Hillary. But supporting Obama? No. When you support Obama you are supporting the destruction of America as it has existed for over 200 years, and that I will not abide. You may be my friend, but you are also my enemy.

No lizards have HD tier with the sorry "Dan Rather Reports" 'news' program on Mark Cuban's HD channel? I'm in Charlotte, NC

It is the far left version of the Mclellan interview of course. There is a live audience. It is hilarious.

re: #370 godfrey

I fault his speechwriters. To me, inarticulate means saying nothing. You could use lots of words like Obama, or too few words, like W. I'd rather hear substance and sincerity.

When 2004 came around, many of my friends taunted me about my pro-Bush support. "Aren't you happy that we're going to have a President who is finally articulate?".

I said, "Who cares about the vocabulary Kerry uses. It's the strong values Bush has that speak louder than any words."

Not me. I left after DS when they started retiring the Huey..I couldn't believe that they chose that electrical nightmare over the 4 blade Hue.. my pilot buddies felt the same way, especially when the 44th med lost two of em during night vision flying post Gulf War...the Coast Guard ain't real happy with theirs either. I went to Germany 4 times and if I could choose..Bocaw or an MBB for me baby!

OT

CNN (Caliphate Now News) is reporting about a "secret" meeting between Obama and some radical (I'm assuming it's a rabidly antisemitic organization (?) and thus Hussein is expecting support) religious group in the South...Obama is wanting their "religious" endorsement so as to undermine McCain. Where's the separation of church and state with this Hussein fellow, eh?

That's what I sense is happening too. That the result of their foolish choice could be so devastating that it will go far beyond the area of "just politics". If an Obama administration results in Boston being nuked or in my enforced silence under fascist "hate speech" laws or the destruction of Israel by the Iranian madman they haven't even bothered to learn to identify and these people go on making excuses -- there's a point at which friendship with the ones who are enabling the destroyers of everything you care about becomes impossible.

To ease the transition. They know they're doomed, they are trying to find a way to become "new media." NPR was doing a series of segments they called "blogs" too. Somebody must have told them how stupid they sounded, because they quit.

On business in a way. Profession, more like. :)

My father was a medical researcher/academic (he's in private practise now), and was frequently asked to give lectures on his speciality around the world. I've lived and visited all over the world thanks to him, though THANKFULLY I wasn't with them on that trip. Closest: I've been to Egypt.

Right -- I actually saw an LGF post appear at the Reuters site once, months ago. It lasted about 5 minutes before someone realized what was on their site and deleted it. Since then, they've apparently blocked us out of the Blogburst listings.

He did a few flights on a Huey, but the Blackhawk is what they had. I don't know if he loves the aircraft so much as he loved what he did (does?) When we were at Ft. Hood (with the 507th), they supported the civilians, too. He was always flying and loved it. He went to Ranger School and was a Ranger Medic, then went 18D. He had a bit of an incident jumping out of a helicopter, and then went to Flight Medic school. He was attached to an SF unit for his next to last deployment - the last one he was embedded in the Iraqi Army teaching them how to be medics. Now he volunteers with the Baltimore City fire dept (he is an EMT-P) for the Adrenalin rush.

I agree that we need to do all of the above ASAP.

How is nuclear energy going to help with energy independence when less than 2% of our electric power is produced with oil? Coal can only help if you make liquid fuel out of coal which can be done, but at what price. We have a liquid fuel crisis people, and liquid fuels are not used very much these days for electric power production. The market forces have already just about phased out oil for power generation, even in the combustion turbines, of which many have been either converted to natural gas, or were dual fuel capable already.
