No, but he may have a snake in his head!

''Frankly, I don't think I'll need to do a lot more," Democratic philanthropist George Soros bragged to USA Today just a few months ago. "I now take the defeat of Bush more or less for granted."
Unfortunately for him, that defeat no longer seems so certain, so the billionaire, who had spent more than $15 million in an attempt to get John F. Kerry elected, is now trying to protect his earlier investments by throwing in an additional $3 million.
"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," says Soros. To save the world and prevent the re-election of George W. Bush, Soros has dedicated extraordinary amounts of time and money because defeating Bush, he says, is his "central focus." His motto, "If I spend enough, I will make it right," is the essence of his articulated ideas about changing society.
It seems that Soros believes he was anointed by God. "I fancied myself as some kind of god ... ," he once wrote. "If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble."
When asked by Britain's Independent newspaper to elaborate on that passage, Soros said, "It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out."
Since I began to live it out. Those unfamiliar with Soros would probably dismiss the statement out of hand. But for those who have followed his career and sociopolitical endeavors, it cannot be taken quite so lightly.
Soros has proved that with the vast resources of money at his command he has the ability to make the once unthinkable acceptable. His work as a self-professed "amoral" financial speculator has left millions in poverty when their national currencies were devaluated, and he pumped so much cash into shaping former Soviet republics to his liking that he has bragged that the former Soviet empire is now the "Soros Empire."
Now he's turned his eye on the internal affairs of the United States. Today's United States, he writes in his latest book, The Bubble of American Supremacy, is a "threat to the world," run by a Republican Party that is the devil child of an unholy alliance between "market fundamentalists" and "religious fundamentalists." We have become a "supremacist" nation.
During a speech at Columbia University's commencement ceremonies, Soros said, "If President Bush is re-elected, we must ask the question, 'What is wrong with us?' " He has written that he always "felt that modern society in general and America in particular suffer from a deficiency of values."
Bush's aggressive waging of the war on terrorism has only increased these feelings. "When President Bush says, as he does frequently, that freedom will prevail, in fact he means that America will prevail," Soros writes. Who would Soros prefer to see "prevail"? Saddam Hussein? Osama bin Laden?
Despite his reputation as an international philanthropist, Soros remains candid about his true charitable tendencies. "I am sort of a deus ex machina, " Soros told The New York Times in 1994. "I am something unnatural. I'm very comfortable with my public persona because it is one I have created for myself. It represents what I like to be as distinct from what I really am. You know, in my personal capacity I'm not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I've very much self-centered."
Soros was more succinct when he explained his life philosophy to biographer Michael Kaufman. "I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact," he said.
But the speculator's visions don't end there.
"Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad," Soros once confided on British television. "In fact, my grandfather was actually paranoid. I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it."
In his book, Soros on Soros, he says: "I do not accept the rules imposed by others. ... And in periods of regime change, the normal rules don't apply."
Clearly, Soros considers himself to be someone who is able to determine when the "normal rules" should and shouldn't apply.
No George, you're different in one very important aspect. You can bleed.

He might wake up next to a horse's head before the end of the year. LOL
Think he's sweating Bush's lead in the polls?
So.... Soros has joined the likes of Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky.
I don't know that he's sweating Bush's lead in the polls, it sounds like he thinks his money can cover it. What a slimy man!
There must be something he can wake up next to that's more gross than a horse's head, maybe Tarayza?
She might go nutty after the election like Kitty Dukakis did with the pills.
A breakdown of some kind is not out of the question.
I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said -- "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lips, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Anti-Christ revealed???
I believe there was some tradition that the Anti-Christ was supposed to be likable and irresistably attractive. Soros certainly fails on that count. Otherwise, he's a perfect fit.
Surprisingly honest and revealing article about this dangerous nutcase. Newsweek's international edition also had a cover story about him and his vast spending devoted to defeating Bush.
Nope...maybe "god" spelled backwards,but certainly not a god.
No. I don't think he's the AC.
I do believe that he knows the AC and is in his service.
The AC will come on the scene as a true messianic figure fooling even the Jews into believing that he is their true messiah. This much is Scripture.
Soros is anything but that.
He's plenty evil.
He's plenty mad in a sense.
He's plenty powerful due to his money and connections.
I'd rather he be converted. But I feel there's scant chance of that.
Prayer against his success would be great.
Now it all makes sense. The poor son of a bitch is dyslexic.
For a perspective on George Soros and his idea of changing the world "because I can..." think about this;
Your country has been liberated, you are free of an oppressive and murderous dictator. You need a job, though. You need the money quickly and you need to take what's available. You feel good taking a job as a policeman, a fireman, a member of the national guard, and even depending on your circumstances enlist in the army. You will be helping your country while helping yourself. You wait in line to sign up or be hired for one of these jobs. And, all the while you know that any moment you are in danger of losing your life by doing so.
Yet, the men in Iraq stand up again and again, like in some virtual-reality game or movie. Again and again, they keep coming to apply or enlist. How many of us, would be willing to get in that line the next day after one of the suicide-murder-bombings?
No, but he may have a snake in his head!
Separated at birth?
Instead of his head up his rear? :)
