How George Soros Destroyed The Democratic Party

The Left ultimately destroys itself.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

It was the end of the big year with three zeroes. The first X-Men movie had broken box office records. You couldn’t set foot in a supermarket without listening to Brittney Spears caterwauling, “Oops, I Did It Again.” And Republicans and Democrats had total control of both chambers of legislatures in the same amount of states. That was the way it was back in the distant days of the year 2000.

In 2016, Republicans control both legislative chambers in 32 states. That’s up from 16 in 2000.

What happened to the big donkey? Among other things, the Democrats decided to sell their base and their soul to a very bad billionaire and they got a very bad deal for both.

It was 2004. The poncho was the hottest fashion trend, there were 5 million new cases of AIDS and a former Nazi collaborator had bought the Democrat Party using the spare change in his sofa cushions.

And gone to war against the will of the people. This was what he modestly called his own “Soros Doctrine”.

“It is the central focus of my life,” George Soros declared. It was “a matter of life and death.” He vowed that he would become poor if it meant defeating the President of the United States.

Instead of going to the poorhouse, he threw in at least $15 million, all the spare change in the billionaire’s sofa cushions, dedicated to beating President Bush.

Back in 2009, Obama promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil, to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama’s largesse towards Brazil, came shortly after Soros invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Petrobras). The American Petroleum Institute said it was a very bad deal for the US. They estimated that “oil exploration in the US could create 160,000 new jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while generating greater energy security.” So, the American taxpayers were once again treated like gullible suckers.

Is it safe to assume our brain-dead biased press missed this connection in 2009?

A mere derisive ode would not suffice. He’d need a freakin’ symphony of derision when he goes.

No worries. During the course of their indoctrination, the young ‘uns will go through something called puberty, and reject everything their elders teach them. Then you can grab ahold of them, by creating a right wing counterculture for them to look to in order to get back at the “establishment” and start studying hard, avoiding drugs and promiscuity, and wearing pants that don’t show their a$$es. This was predicted almost half a century ago, by MAD Magazine, back when it was funny without being disgusting.

Thanks for pinging me. As always, I enjoy Greenfield's posts. However, I think he is being overly optimistic here. Soros hasn't destroyed the Democrat Party, he has simply bought and paid for it.

Despite this election setback, the far left STILL controls most of academia, media and law. It is going to be a long, bloody house to house battle to take it back.

Of course, I can't speak for all of the left, but many of them were just fine with shedding lower offices so long as they controlled the high ground.

Top down dictatorship is natural to them and it really makes little difference who is on the privy council so long as they roll over or go along. McConnell and Ryan usually did just that.

Our bigger victory than electing the president or maintaining control of both houses of congress was destroying the credibility of the mainstream media . . . a job which still hasn't been done. Trump is going to have to do the job he threatened in dusting off the anti-trust acts and breaking up the monopolistic components of the new economy such as Amazon, Google, PayPal and Facebook.

Thank you George....the Republican GOP idiots couldn’t figure it out so we appreciate your help.

Nay, they were sitting in the corner silently nodding their heads in approval hoping his globalist plans would work...

I watch FoxBusiness a lot in the mornings, and lately I’ve been wondering if Soros and his cronies are tampering with the DOW numbers.

We’ve been edging toward 20,000, and every time we get up to 19,800, the numbers suddenly start backtracking. Weird.

Does anybody know who the players are that continue to keep the DOW from reaching 20,000 ..?????
