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.

We mustn't give in to the terrorists, or the sorosians.

He wants us to not react to the terrorists, to not lock our doors, to not post guards to stand vigil over us through the night. He wants us to ignore the screams and the gunshots, to roll over and go back to sleep.

He is the enemy, as are they. He and they are bound for hell and determined to take us with them. Most of us are asleep however and don't want to be bothered.

“Someone should kill him. Can’t think of a softer way to say it. That man has been a cancer on humanity for more than70 years.”

I wish Putin would arrange for a bullet to be directed towards Soros’ head as well as making the arrangements of getting good video and audio of it happening.
