After that meeting, Soros switched his support to Obama. Soros' father touted Esperanto, and wanted that to be the one world language. Let's just say his son has similar proclivities. It could be argued that Obama is sympathetic to these views. Obama either doesn't understand the concept of American Exceptionalism (not that we are a superior people or should show strength without reason, but that our VALUES (freedom, liberty, etc....which can be embraced by anyone) are superior), which I don't think is the case......or he doesn't think American values are exceptional (which I do think is the case). When asked about American Exceptionalism, Obama replied with a list of other counties and how their citizens feel about their own countries ....a passive agressive way of saying that he doesn't believe in American Exceptionalism, IMO. Obama has also openly admired how well the Chinese government controls the Chinese citizenry . I think Obama and Soros are both trying to prove SOMETHING (????) and expand, in each case, on a fathers' MUCH less successful legacy.

We have some exceptionally bright young people in this country, but we also have many mushy idiots of many different ages who can't name the three branches of government. Last year a reporter visited the campus of a WELL RESPECTED university IN WASHINGTON D.C. The students were asked the name of the U.S. Secretary of State, and were also asked if they know what twerking is (think Miley Cyrus). Not one single student could give the correct answer (John Kerry), or even the previous office holder (Mrs. Clinton). However, EVERY SINGLE STUDENT could correctly identify twerking . Within the last week, a different reporter visited The American University (also IN WASHINGTON D.C.). Students were asked to identify ONE sitting U.S. Senator, and to name the theme song from the movie Frozen. Only two of many students could name one senator, yet EVERY STUDENT could name the theme song from the movie Frozen . During those same interviews at The American University, students were also asked how many Senators each state has...and only one student gave the correct answer of 2 . One student answered 13....(right...we give each state a senator for each original colony ). I put IN WASHINGTON D.C. in caps because I think it is particularly sad that students there (the cradle of our federal government!) are so oblivious.

Hmm there are lots of goofy people in this country with wacked out ideas. I dont know this guy Soros but I suspect you are right about him. Although I dont know what he stands for.

Allow me to digress!

My neightbor across the street in the 60s was a NYS Supream Counrt Judge. He went to Yale So did his older son Paul. I was friends with his younger son John. Paul was in the Weather Underground. Which means he was a terrorist. He cornered John and I in Johns room in 1967 when I was 11and tried to shove down our throats that the people running our country were assholes and they, the SDS, were going to change that. And he said if the governemnt wouldnt change, they would blow it up.

I thought This Guy Is The Asshole. He wants to kill people. From that moment on I had no respect for the antiwar movement or the left wing in general. Although Im sure they have their points.

In college (I went to St Johns College a liberal arts college with The Great Books Program) and when we read The Communist Mainfesto and Das Kapital I thought: this is the same thing as Mein Kampf! And said so. I was not popular with the left leaning professors there!

I guess the young people you describe who dont know JK is Sec of State are just putty in these peoples hands. I saw Hillary and Bill being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel and a young lady for up and said to Hillary "If you dont run for President who will?" (as a woman) And Hillary said "Lady right now I think our country has bigger problems than who the next woman President is going to be."

Which I take as a good sign! I think shell be tougher on Putin that Obama.
