A month after John Kerry’s narrow loss to George W. Bush in 2004’s Presidential election, Eli Pariser boasted to his MoveOn associates, “Now it’s our party. We bought it. We own it.” The huge question raised by this audacious declaration was, “Who are ‘we’?” That query is answered in David Horowitz and Richard Poe’s new book, The Shadow Party—a work that also explains how this political takeover was accomplished. In the authors’ own words, “This book documents how, through an extraordinary series of political, legal, and financial maneuvers, an unlikely network of radical activists and activist billionaires gained de facto control over the Democratic Party’s campaign apparatus….”

The eminence grise lurking behind these machinations was and is George Soros, the billionaire financier and founder of the Open Society Institute. It was Soros who declared in November, 2003, that defeating President Bush was “the central focus of [his] life” and “a matter of life and death”—then devoted twenty-seven million dollars to accomplish that goal during the 2004 campaign cycle

Horowitz is brilliant. This could be a must read.
Yes, I'm basically neutral on this....this was posted for reference and knowledge....
This article is already a work of fiction from the first sentence....
Shadow Party..... Shadow Government, it was just a matter of time.
At least one segment of the reading public may know a little truth.
Good night, Mrs. Callabash.
If there is an anti-Chtist, George Soros is a great candidate.
The guy has puss coming out of his eyes and has absolutely no conscience.

Horowitz understands the tricks of the left. McCain-Feingold was a scam from the beginning and McCain was a meathead to support it.

Let's be honest for a moment.
Nearly NO Americans protested this CFR abomination. Rush Limbaugh, much to his credit, peered out of his self-congratulatory personality long enough the day after CFR was passed and wrote a brilliant article against it. He read it on his show. It was inspirational.
But, after that .......... he and the country never stirred too much over this totally unconstitutional CFR.
Face it kids, the media and the schools have successfully dumbed down America. You and I here at FR know it ........ but do little about it.
No, don't ask me what to do about it. My answers are a little extreme in some folks' minds.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." It was a great set of words back in the 60's. I didn't exactly know what it meant then. But being into the weather (snow, rain, the changes of the seasons) back in those days, I liked it and went out and had five hundred business cards printed with those Dylan words on them (still have a few). I walked around my city neighborhood putting them under the windshield wiper blades of parked cars. Nearly got arrested. Almost ended up on some kind of "Group W. Bench". ;-)
Damn........now our citizens still don't know which way the wind is blowing. The wind is blowing toward a world government (BARF) and the purposeful weakening or destruction of this once excellent Republic. Yet the people snore. How did they become so oblivious? I think you all know.
The socialist/Marxist media and the schools have won. Soros, the major league America hater is winning, and the media won't tell you. It's all one big club.
I'm wondering when will Mark Levin, Rush, or some other talker tell the total truth? Are they permitted? When will the people awake? I say .............. not soon enough.

Pretty soon we will be saying "the pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles".

The socialist/Marxist/liberal media is the most destructive, relentless, and ruthless enemy of this Republic.

Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the press, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse. -Mark Twain

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague." - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator --- 106-43 B.C.

"How often we recall, with regret, that Napoleon once shot at a magazine editor and missed him and killed a publisher. But we remember with charity, that his intentions were good. - Letter to Henry Mills Alden, published in the Chicago Daily Tribune, November 11, 1906, pg. 3.

A tip of the schnoz to you.
You are neutral on what?
HUH?
;-)
Okay, what's the fiction?
getting warm........oil run up is only part of it.
I'm not expressing my opinion to the extent that this is placed in the large puzzle. Neutral in that I posted it but have not commented; yet.
I see that you are on track, as my ideas are also considered radical or extreme, however, I have found to fit the scheme. It's how to get the truth out and still be believed or found to be credible. Once the truth is out, it's like cancer; you can put off the tests over and over until it's too late to fix it...the obvious signs are there, and when you finally get a check up, it's too late. It's going to be that dramatic when the domino's are set in place......
