Democratic Platform's Hidden Soros Slush Fund

The Democratic Party platform is like a bag of pork rinds. You never know what high-fat liberal government morsel you're gonna get.

Buried in the 94-page document is a noble-sounding proposal to create a "Social Investment Fund Network." The program would provide federal money to "social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations [that] are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps, and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities." The Democratic Party promises to "support these results-oriented innovators" by creating an office to "coordinate government and nonprofit efforts" and then showering "a series of grants" on the chosen groups "to replicate these programs nationwide."

I may be an alarmist but I truely believe George Soros is evil. Why else would a naturalized American citizen spend so much of his time and money trying to denigrate or out right destroy the institutions that have made this country great. Not being very bright the democrats have allowed themselves to become hostage to some of the most radical and anti american fringe groups in this country. The democrats are now addicted to the money these kooks provide them. To keep receiving these monies democrats must take on increasingly radical and anti american postions. I don't know about you but it scares the hell out of me that one of our two major parties has become so radical and anti american.

Where's the "vast right wing conspiracy" when you need it?

This collection of left wing kooks, the Jackass Party, has been slavering at the prospect of dominating and looting America for at least a century. They came closest to realizing their dream with FDR. We're still paying for the 'reforms' he and his ilk perpetrated on us. Paying off WWII and the Marshall Plan was less costly.

What the Dems have in store for us is nothing less than insidious. Each of these social engineering programs would have escalating costs and no accountability. The purpose is to make Americans believe they can't make it on their own and their only recourse is to trust and rely upon government.

Soros is the evil genius behind this but the face of this evil is his minion, the glib Hussein the messiah.

McCain himself is a Soros beneficiary. His "Reform Institute," a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group focused on campaign finance reform, was funded by the Soros-funded Open Society Institute and Tides Foundation.

FWIW Theresa Kerry is the head of the Tides Foundation.

Soros sees the consequence of ending Fascism as justice? How very strange. When one combines relativistic morals with a desire to achieve some great vision of a better tomorrow, fascism results because any action can be justified in the name of achieving the vision. Such actions, in order to be effective requires a powerful central government to assert power over the people, it should serve rather than lead, forcing the vision upon them.

Ending any real example of Fascism would be a step towards liberty, not justice. A zealous drive for justice that determines, for example, that one person's property rights are out-weighed by the goal of bringing about justice would at least border on Fascism if not in fact be Fascism.

Now, if one buys into the Marxists' definition of Fascism which equates it to any establishment that favors private industry, then "social justice" would make sense. Such a definition, however, stems from a Fascist movement, Marxism that created the definition out of fear it might be swept away along with its cousins Nazism and Italian Fascism. So Soros is using a Fascist definition of Fascism and seeking to bring about Fascism in the name of ending Fascism. How very Machiavellian. How very Fascist.

Soros tried to buy the presidency in 2004 and failed, this made him more committed to attempt to do so again in this election.

it is no accident that Obama refused public financing and there was nothing 'noble' about it. this rid him of transparancy and limits of donors.

they call Soros 'the man who broke the Bank of England' and i suspect that he and his group are directly behind the speculator's attempts to raise prices as the majority will blame Bush for the economy rather than Congress with all their entitlements.

Jonah Goldberg's book, Liberal-Fascism should now be re-read by American voters. Since this is in the Platform and is hidden as a radical leftist agenda, the RNC should be using this in selected states as an ad. American voters do not know Sorros. They should and realize how radically evil anti-American he and many of the Dem socialist pacifists are!

That would be the straw the broke our back , a liberal mentor ship of the very young ,"give me your young and I can do anything" , that is given time . It will be about ten years before we see results of the liberal mentor ship but it will manifest itself in nothing but a whole new generation of welfare communist's wanting to change our way of life into living under Bridges and walking to work for those fortunate enough to have a job. This must be stopped at all costs .We can ill afford to have a whole generation of welfare bums telling us what we need to do. especially when it is a communist out fit doing the telling . I can see all of us waking in the AM and saying our pledges to the state before we continue on our day of providing for the state .
