bttt!

As you say, Soros has been influencing the DNC for years. He's even donated money to senator John McCain. According to CBS news:

This is not the first year Soros has been generous with campaign funds. According to a database run by the Federal Election Commission, between 2000 and 2002 Soros gave $153,000 in soft money to the Democratic National Committee in three massive installments.

Since 1998, he donated $125,000 directly to candidates and committees. Except for one $1,000 check to Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, it all went to Democratic candidates or PACs that favor Democrats.
It does appear that he's moving from narrow issues toward general opposition to American international power, however.

It seems that Soros has been a force for good at times, as he has been involved with freedom movements in the former Soviet bloc countries and so forth. I have to wonder if he is simply an aging, paranoid man. How could one who survived the Nazis, escaping eastern Europe and the Iron curtain come to the conclusion that American power had turned evil simply because we brought down Saddam's vile regime? According to David N. Bossie in the Washington Times:

In Mr. Soros' mind, the sovereignty of the United States must be subordinated to international law and international institutions, such as the United Nations and its International Criminal Court.
But we've seen for nearly three generations how the U.N. has failed to defend freedom in conflict after conflict. As long as ideologies such as Marxism and Islam grip the third world, internationalism is a sure path toward the downfall of freedom. Time and again, internationalism has stacked the weaknesses of liberal, consumer democracies with appeasement. In other words, complacent citizens in western countries fail to recognize the threat of a Syria or a China on the security council, all the while imagining that it must be "fair" to give them a vote.

Soros' ambitions don't add up. I think he may just be a very confused individual who happens to have a lot of money to burn on pet causes. Unfortunately, he's backing the wrong horse. The future of freedom on this planet still depends on America.
