It seems to me that it's somewhat naive to imagine that someone like Soros is not going to be EXTREMELY destructive to our government and our way of life.

I don't fear him at all. He is known. His ideas are constantly being examined and reported upon on this site and many others.

Current elected officials and others who normalize the anti freedom direction this country is taking are far more dangerous.

Ideas should all see the light of day and be sorted out. Free speech is fundamental to a free society.

Sooooooooooooooo destructive, in fact, that we MAY WELL NEED to take some very energetic steps to block such destructive efforts however we could rationally and properly do so.

What do you suggest? Repealing the first amendment? The current elected officials are working on it and have made significant progress. CFR is one good example.

What will it take for us to wake up and say--enough, turkey, stop it or sit in a very small room for a very long time, or worse.

Imprisoning and executing people with whom you do not agree is a very old tradition in the world. Shutting up your oppponents is popular. This country has so far resisted it for the most part.

NOT

for doing away with FREE SPEECH in principle.

I do wonder if we need to refine the definitions or parameters of it somewhat. I realize that's a slippery slope.

So is the one of pretending all Free speech is not dangerous to our survival.

YES, CFR is hideous. Soros is probably a favorite bed partner of all of them, at least philosophically.

But our founding fathers realized that a society which forsake the founding beliefs--essentially Judeo-Christian beliefs--which ceased to be MOSTLY good--would cease to exist.

Soros is DILIGENTLY, ENERGETICALLY--WITH GREAT POWER setting about to shred the foundations of our culture even more than they already are.
