Despite differences, GOP should defend Soros in Hungary
American Enterprise Institute ^ | April 17, 2017 | Dalibor Rohac, Jeffrey Gedmin

"The first-order, existential challenge to democracy in Eastern Europe is coming from leaders such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán — once, incidentally, a recipient of a Soros scholarship — who mistake their substantial popular mandate for a free pass to crack down on dissenting voices. Under Orbán’s leadership, Hungary’s democratic bona fides have declined in recent years, according to Freedom House."

Differences? That’s like saying I have differences with Osama bin Laden.

I use to subscribe to AEI material of every variety. They are not really Conservative with a capital C, just globalist neocons dressing up their new world order ambitions to appear at least “likeable” to Conservatives.

If he’s badly injured in Hungary, medical support is warranted.

Somebody would have taken out his ass by now if he wasn’t useful to the powers that be.

Three cheers for Hungary. Leftist billionaires like Soros, and middle eastern petro-monarchs, are trying to use democracy to destroy the foundations of democracy, and they are meeting no resistance from conservative has-beens like AEI.

SorozNazi is, imho, one of the most evil and destructive people on earth. Defend him?????? Not in a million years! He should be arrested, convicted, and strung up to rot. And his filthy lucre put in a soroz victims’ compensation fund. That will help heal some of the injuries he’s caused while preventing his evil kids from carrying on daddy’s Satanic “crusades”

Any real USAian; ie., not McCain, knows this is a priority.

Hillary wanted an alliance with Soros and Podesta got it for her and a lot of money too.. Soros seeks to destroy America.

Banish Soros to Elba.

Very much so. Viktor Orban gets it. See this thread, worthwhile:

Orban’s Historical Speech Puts Hungary on a War Footing (speaks truth about Muslim immigration)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3411401/posts

Speech transcript in post #5 IIRC.

Nonsense. The GOP most definitely should not “defend” Soros, who is actively working to undermine the US and the GOP.

Hungary is doing the right thing.

We should air drop Soros over Hungary from 35,000 ft and say “here’s his corpse, Hungary, you can have him back for burial.”

The American Enterprise Institute had some rabid female on Fox News Sunday this morning attacking Trump for pardoning Arpaio. And now we need to protect Soros. That’s our “conservative” think-tank people.

And wait, I thought for an interference in National Affairs was bad. Or is it not bad when an American billionaire does it to a foreign country?

The GOP should hire a hit squad to give that evil man a shove.

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. 2 Corinthians 4:4

Satan protects his own.
