It's not easy to resist the threats and the hysteria that surround us, but we must do, as fear is the greatest danger to open society
Open societies are always endangered. This is especially true of America and Europe today, as a result of the terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere, and the way that America and Europe, particularly France, have reacted to them.
Jihadi terrorist groups such as Islamic State and al-Qaida have discovered the achilles heel of our western societies: the fear of death. Through horrific attacks and macabre videos, the publicists of Isis magnify this fear, leading otherwise sensible people in hitherto open societies to abandon their reason.
Scientists have discovered that emotion is an essential component of human reasoning. That discovery explains why jihadi terrorism poses such a potent threat to our societies: the fear of death leads us and our leaders to think - and then behave - irrationally.

The same people who don’t want us to be afraid of actual people who want to kill us also relentlessly try to make us terrified of the temperature warming by one degree.
First off, Soros didn’t write this. He’s an idiot.
Second, Soros has made his money by scaring people.
Third, Chelsea Clinton had her wedding at a Soros estate. You think Hillary Clinton is going to have her only daughter’s wedding at just any old place? Soros is the patriarch of the Clinton crime syndicate.
Open societies are always endangered.”
Correct.
Places like Paris are endangered.
Mostly from Muslims.
if one likes what the obozo and the liberal democrat communists (the Hag) are doing to the USA, then you have Soros (moveon.org, the hub for all liberal news speak) and other mega wealthy NWO pukes to thank. INHO; Soros et al ought to be in jail for plotting to take down the USA (and the obozo) by promoting an invasion by anti-American illegal immigrants.
He wants us all to die, or to live in such misery that we wish we were dead.
He's as bad or worse than nearly any terrorist.
I don’t think your average conservative is motivated by fear. The liberals may be afraid but I think it’s more anger that is motivating conservatives.
Hey. Something Red George says that I can agree with. Although not in the way he thinks. Each generation is corrupted by the siren song of Socialism -- give the government more power and they will take care of you so that you don't have to work. That will keep going on until the crisis of economic collapse.
And it's encouraging to us that he is singling out Trump and Cruz.
Ef Jeb! and the other GOPers.
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”
How many jihadis will Soros be hosting on his compounds and yachts to show we can all just get along?
And the “this is just what ISIS wants” excuse is just like global warming. It can be used for anything and everything.
If some Patriot were to get close enough to Soros to take him out, who would replace him?
Ultimately Soros wants a one world order with Satan in control. Muslim jihadist just serve the purpose of destabilizing nations.
I wouldn’t count on it. If there was any dirt to be had on whom, it would likely be the other way around. Besides, any American who needs Donald Trump to inform them that Soros is an evil man isn’t very observant.
Whose demagoguing who?
Soros' name isn't on the list.
My working definition of demagogue is one who seeks to inflame passions or influence through emotion without ever dealing with actual facts. Well, the facts are grim. Our lives really are in danger, the left put us here, and they are completely okay with it.
He, and his kind, are more of a danger than Islam.
He should. He did more to destroy Jews lives than most Concentration Camp guards.
“....resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, however hard that may be.”
That’s prolly the best endorsement Cruz and Trump could receive....
