A Nazi, a patriotic German and a womanizer. Yet he also saved tens of thousands of Jews. He has a place on the Avenue Of The Righteous at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

The tens of thousands of lives he saved (at no small risk to himself) more than compensates for any extra-marital affairs and flirtation with Nazis.

He is the mirror image of the Lieberals who think their good intentions compensate for their disasterous policies. Think Jimbo Carter.

Probably not as well known, but a hero nonetheless for saving countless Jews, was Raoul Wallenberg. Wallenberg, a Swedish Diplomat, gave Swedish passports to Jews to protect them from the Nazis. He was arrested by the Russians at the end of the war and disappeared. The official verdict was that he died of a heart attack.

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that made Wallenberg an Honorary U.S. Citizen

Doing the right thing for the “wrong” reasons is far, far, far more praiseworthy than what the liberals do - which is the wrong thing for the “right” reasons.

In the end, does it really matter what else the man was? Warts and all, he did more than most others could or would have done in that same situation (see Krupps or Mercedes), at great risk to himself. In the end, he did the job placed before him, whatever his motivation. And that’s all that matters, really - isn’t it?

And then there was George Schwartz (Soros)…Schwartz was his real last name before his father changed it to Soros…who at 14 years of age pretended not to be Jewish and fingered all his Jewish neighbors to the Nazis.

How many hundreds, George Schwartz, were you responsible for sending to the gas chambers and ovens?
