One of my favorite all time book excerpts is from Whittaker Chambers in his seminal book "Witness":

“...It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.

It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world. It is the vision of man's liberated mind, by the sole force of its rational intelligence, redirecting man's destiny and reorganizing man's life and the world. It is the vision of man, once more the central figure of the Creation, not because God made man in his image, but because man's mind makes him the most intelligent of the animals. Copernicus and his successors displaced man as the central fact of the universe by proving that the earth was not the central star of the universe. Communism restores man to his sovereignty by the simple method of denying God...”

And what is Soros besides the epitome of the worst of both the Nazis and the Communists?

That Whittaker Chambers was one smart cat. He stole my post years before I was born.

Heh, heh.

Profound wisdom. I need to get that book and reread it.

I was all of ten or eleven years old when Dad made me do my first book report The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen as a condition to going to the movie Doctor Zhivago which came out that year. I was indignant that my sister, less than two years older, was old enough to take to that film, but I was not. So Dad handed me that book and said if I read it and wrote him a report, he would let me go as well. I did and he was true to his word.

He suggested WITNESS as a follow-up and I begin to read it. Then the weather got warm enough for baseball and I never finished. I was blessed with awesome parents.

SOROS CHEATED HIS OWN PEOPLE IN EAST EUROPE OUT OF LAND AND PERSONNEL ASSETS BY COLLABORATING WITH THE NAZIS AT THE END OF WWII AND THEN WITH THE COMMUNISTS AFTER WWII. HE MUST HAVE PLACED MUCH MONEY INTO THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM WHEN HE IMMIGRATED HER BECAUSE NEVER DOES A POLITICIAN EVER MENTION HIS NAME EVEN THOUGH SOROS IS ABLE TO SWAY OUR POLITICAL REGIMEN. NEVER IS HIS NAME MENTIONED BY A SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN. IT IS TIME TO DEPORT THE BASTARD.
