The Road to Serfdom

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/03/the_road_to_serfdom.html

From Real Clear Politics.

He's the gist to help you decide if you want to read it or no.

Some Brit students published a satire of the Islamic uproar on the year's anniversary of the Mohammed cartoon in their college newspaper.

They got into some hot water with the local Muhammadans and had to hide to save their skin.

Then, the university folk bore down on them.

The author goes on to talk about George Soros' anti-Israeli efforts.  An article he recently wrote.  

Some bad stuff about American policical radicals . . . and generally that things are pretty bleak.

Good read.  Not a happy one.  

Regards,

Interesting read.............

I've seen the name of billionaire George Soros before.

This person SEEMS to be footing the bill for anti-gunners as well.

IMHO this person appears to be anti-freedom, anti-liberty, go new world order type person!

From what I've read about this person, I would have to say, NOT one of my favorite people.

That book is the biggest load of bull I've ever read. It's written from the point of view of an ex soviet who has been so seduced by capitalism that he tends to extremism in the opposite direction. Free markets for everybody! YAY! Let's have the wall street crash and the exploitation of the people from the Oklahoma dust bowl all over again!

Or in modern terms...Enron.

:oh...different article! ... sawwry!

oh bah..

its disturbing, Hap.  i will never understand American Jews' lack of support for Israel...

[ravells]

Ah yes... Israel...that champion of democracy and free speech...

:edit: read the article now...it looks like zionism with a liberal democracy coating. I'm always suspcious of websites that label themselves 'Real Clear Politics' Because we all know there is nothing of the kind.

The answer lies in the American Jews proclivity to buy German automobiles.

But you ignore the fact that this is the MO of the "religion of peace" or as I like to call them the "religion of perpetual outrage."

Ignore them too long and they will be the ones pulling the strings as the "silent majority" feels guilty.

I guess I've been reading RCP for maybe a month.  None of the essays seem like outright flake jobs.  They present differing points of view, but not belligerantly like the politics shows on TV do.

Or maybe that's the advantage of the printed word compared to the box with lights and wires?

george sorros is the commie behind move on dot org.  His hand is in every gun control effort in the states..  he of course has armed bodyguards wherever he goes.

He is a socialist of the highest order in that he thinks that a everyone but a few should be equal in poverty.   He of course is too important to live by the rules he would impose on the new socialists.   He can be trusted with billions because his heart is in the right place.   The rest of us are evil if we have one penny more than the poorest amoung us.

Soros is a great guy.

Now comes Peretz's coup de grace. On December 20, 1998, there appeared this exchange between Soros and Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes":

Kroft: "You're a Hungarian Jew …"

Soros: "Mm-hmm."

Kroft: "... who escaped the Holocaust …"

Soros: "Mm-hmm."

Kroft: "... by posing as a Christian."

Soros: "Right."

Kroft: "And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps."

Soros: "Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made."

Kroft: "In what way?"

Soros: "That one should think ahead. One should understand that—and anticipate events and when, when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal threat of evil."

Kroft: "My understanding is that you went … went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews."

Soros: "Yes, that's right. Yes."

Kroft: "I mean, that's—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?"

Soros: "Not, not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't … you don't see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all."

Kroft: "No feeling of guilt?"

Soros: "No."

Kroft: "For example, that, 'I'm Jewish, and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be these, I should be there.' None of that?"

Soros: "Well, of course, ... I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was—well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in the markets—that is I weren't there—of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would—would—would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the—whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the—I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt."

Absolutely disgusting...



He keeps using "One" as a pronoun.

He was also a major investor in the Carlyle group (SP) as an IPO.  You remenber them....they were featured in F911 by moore to help bring down the Bush family by linking them with OBL.

Just as evil as the rest.
