Soros says be patient

”George Soros told a carefully vetted gathering of 70 likeminded millionaires and billionaires last weekend that they must be patient if they want to realize long-term political and ideological yields from an expected massive investment in “startup” progressive think tanks.”

”The Scottsdale, Ariz., meeting, called to start the process of building an ideas production line for liberal politicians, began what organizers hope will be a long dialogue with the “partners,” many from the high-tech industry. Participants have begun to refer to themselves as the Phoenix Group.”

“One source at the DNC with direct knowledge of the agenda said that the Phoenix Group had three specific goals at the outset. It wants to create liberal think tanks, training camps for young progressives and media centers.”

Soros is no sore looser. He just picks another project after loosing the White House in November. This will be another long project like the decade-long campaign finance reform effort.

Who: 70 millionaires and billionaires led by Democrat financier, George Soros.

What: The Phoenix Group.

Mission: Building an ideas production line for liberal politicians.

Goals: 1) Create liberal think tanks, 2) training camps for young progressives, and 3) media centers.

To keep all this Soros crap in perspective, think about how Henry Ford would react to how a lot of the money in the Ford Foundation is spent. With Soros we have a detestable man doing his thing in public now. Most of his activities receive
a lot of publicity and his taint goes with his money.

Seem that Soros will stop at nothing to continue in his plan to destroy America.

As long as they verify that what he does is legal, so be it.

If it isn't kosher, have the guts to prosecute him.

progressive think tanks

Oxymoron alert. They really mean "feel" tanks.

I have no problem with Soros throwing his money down another rathole. He and his other millionaire "traitors to their class" pals are just spinning their wheels trying to get "from each according to his means, to each according to his needs" to sound fresh and new. Well, I guess a start would be "from each according to his/her/neither/both/don't identify means, to each according to his/her/neither/both/don't identify needs."

The Phoenix Group!?

Say it ain't so Mac!

We will always have Murdoch on our side

Soros lost $23 million trying to defeat Bush.
So how attractive can investing in his political causes really be?

These people are not normal.
