Who is George Soros and why is he saying such awful things? Most Americans do not know this billionaire investor, but, using his vast wealth, he has become a force in left-wing political circles. In some ways, he is the litmus test for Democratic politics.
Mr. Soros usually concerns himself with foreign affairs, pointing out what he considers the failures of the Bush administration. In interviews with the press, Mr. Soros claims President Bush's war on terror "is really exploitation." Moreover, he urges European leaders to adopt a stance different from the United States.
Writing in the London-based Independent, Mr. Soros contends the Bush foreign mission shamelessly exploits fears generated from September 11, 2001. As he sees it, "Fear is a bad counselor; we must resist it wherever it comes from." He maintains that with the Bush policy terror will never end. "The terrorists are invisible; therefore they can never disappear. It is our civil liberties that may disappear instead."
That position is the sine qua non of leftist thought. Terrorism is merely a cover for a subtle coup d'etat in which civil liberties are imperiled.
According to Mr. Soros, we exaggerate the threat al Qaeda represents and underestimate the risk to civil liberties. For him, terrorism is an abstraction representing different forces and groups that require correspondingly different means of engagement.

Congress should pass some type of Campaign Finance Reform to limit the amount of contributions from people like Soros. /sarcasm
This psycho should be locked up in a padded room.
My fear is Soros getting a cabinet position in a Clinton or Barak administration.
That position is the sine qua non of leftist thought. Terrorism is merely a cover for a subtle coup d'etat in which civil liberties are imperiled.
Leftists object to the cover, but not to the result. They want to get there their own way.
Interesting how seldom it’s mentioned that Soros is currently under criminal indictment in France for tax evasion. My guess is that if a Republican big hitter were under indictment in another country, the American press would never stop mentioning it.

I have coined this term for Soros: International PIMP.
It seems apt given that he sells out people’s souls for his own perverted benefit.
George Soros controls the both the price of oil and the value of the US Dollar. I read it on FR.
