Dem's Platform Includes Slush Fund For Soros
IBD Editorials ^ | August 20, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 08/20/2008 7:16:13 PM PDT by Kaslin

The Democratic Party platform is like a bag of pork rinds. You never know what high-fat liberal government morsel you're gonna get.

Buried in the 94-page document is a noble-sounding proposal to create a "Social Investment Fund Network." The program would provide federal money to "social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations (that) are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities."

The Democratic Party promises to "support these results-oriented innovators" by creating an office to "coordinate government and nonprofit efforts" and then showering "a series of grants" on the chosen groups "to replicate these programs nationwide."

This brainchild of Barack Obama would serve as a permanent, taxpayer-backed pipeline to Democratic partisan outfits masquerading as public-interest do-gooders. This George Soros Slush Fund would be political payback in spades.

Obama owes much of his Chicago political success to financial support from radical, left-wing billionaire and leading "social entrepreneur" Soros. In June 2004, Soros threw a big fundraiser at his New York home for Obama's Illinois Senate campaign. Soros and family personally chipped in $60,000. In April 2007, Obama was back in New York for a deep-pocketed fundraising soiree, with Soros lurking in his shadow.

No doubt with Soros' approbation (if not advice from the hands-on "progressive" activist or his advisers), Obama fleshed out his Social Investment Fund Network plan last December. In concert with his mandatory volunteerism pitch and $6 billion anti-poverty plan, Obama called for the creation of a "Social Entrepreneurship Agency" to dispense the funds in unspecified amounts.

A social investment fund? This sounds like a catch all for anything anyone can think of to spend money on.

>>>Soros has donated some $5 billion of his fortune to left-wing nonprofit groups through the Open Society Institute — an institution committed to Soros’ militant ideology of toppling the “fascist” tyranny of the United States, which he says must undergo “de-Nazification” in favor of “justice.”<<<

speaks for itself.

Why am I not surprised? What will be really surprising is if the McCain campaign decides to expose it.

IMHO, Georgie Porgie Soros is going to allow Obammie to play president but it will be Soros who will be running the country.

Inasmuch as the McCain campaign has taken Soros money itself, what makes you think that they would expose it?

More like a “Social Network” or many, many millions into Internet media.

an institution committed to Soros’ militant ideology of toppling the “fascist” tyranny of the United States, which he says must undergo “de-Nazification” in favor of “justice.”

Which is hilarious, because if the US were under "fascist" tyranny his excrement disturbing slush fund and organization wouldn't exist.

Yeah, just what we need, billions of taxpayer dollars (OUR MONEY) to go to producing more Obambi-Alinsky socialist types. Oh, yeah, this is a winning idea!

He's technically a wanted man in this country, yet meddles with our government constantly, with complete impunity. Ask yourself how this can be? He has "protectors" here...

Well noted.

Soros is a self-professed atheist; and that explains a lot of things.

When religious Faith is absent, humans create substitute gods - usually themselves. They come up with schemes for heaven on earth - and to make all comply with the schemes.

Million upon million of people have been killed as a result of these schemes.
