Soros strikes again
A commenter thought he was really sticking one down my throat with a link to a news story about the two foundations that reported on the “Many lies the Bush administration told” about Iraq.
I hadn’t anticipated needing to even deal with it, but here’s the refutation:
At Big Lizards, you’ll find the omissions from what the reports had to say.

Everyone I talk to goes well, who knew, gee?

Don’t forget Soros had a lot to do with funding Solidarity in Poland and ending Soviet political dominance in that area. He helped out Czechoslovakia too. Any man with the riches he has is going to be criticized, left and right. Anyhow, they’re not telling me anything I didn’t already know. Apparently you still disagree there. Who knew?

That’s the single most baffling thing about Soros. He has first-hand experience with totoalitarian socialism and came to America to escape it. Now he works feverishly to impose it here. When did he have this reverse conversion experience?

Being an anti-Bush Democrat equates with totalitarian socialism? That’s the old “not with us, against us” talk. That jive don’t jibe.

The objections Soros has to US foreign policy are laid out in an article entitled The Bubble of American Supremacy. The millions of dollars Soros has already donated to partisan political organizations in the US may be just the beginning of an attempt to change that policy. Soros, who has called defeating Bush “the central focus of my life” and has said that “When I hear Bush say, `You’re either with us or against us,’ it reminds me of the Germans”, has stated that he would be willing to commit his entire 7 billion dollar fortune to the task if it was guaranteed to achieve his desired result.

A prominent financier argues that the heedless assertion of American power in the world resembles a financial bubble—and the moment of truth may be here

“This foreign policy is part of a comprehensive ideology customarily referred to as neoconservatism, though I prefer to describe it as a crude form of social Darwinism. I call it crude because it ignores the role of cooperation in the survival of the fittest, and puts all the emphasis on competition. In economic matters the competition is between firms; in international relations it is between states. In economic matters social Darwinism takes the form of market fundamentalism; in international relations it is now leading to the pursuit of American supremacy.”

I must say that GWB has come a long way baby since being awakened by the ‘06 elections. King Cheney chained:

I read the article to which you linked. I don’t know how you thought it would do other than further substantiate my point. Soros hates the idea of American exceptionalism and has no understanding of the evil that has come to prevail in all his precious little international bodies.
Sorry, pal.. Soros is a first-tier Freedom-Hater – up there with Kim Jong-Il, Rober Mugabe, Osama Bin Laden and Hillary Clinton.

Not with you. Not against you though either. I hope that is one-upping you. God you can be a real name caller, can’t you?
