I like most do not want some mope telling me what to do. Let's see that stuff on Soros. I don't go on investigative hunts. I see it in print and decide from there if i want to post or not.

Come on, I am sure you are not that incurious. Don't you have any interest to know who the biggest donor to left causes is? I am sure, if you made the most cursory inquiry, you would be disturbed.

You seem to be acting like an expert on the situation. Let's see what you have.

Do you have any idea how much the U.S. pays out in bribes? Not only in this country, but all over the world. That's how billions disappear into Iraq.
A corporation can do business with whomever they please, unless it comes to weaponry. Sanctions on countries with dictators only serve to hurt the people in those countries.
The Koch Bros. are great philanthropists, donating millions to medical research, cancer, the arts and numerous other causes of freedom. They are libertarians. Soros just manipulates the globe to acquire power and wealth, and for his own entertainment.

We should not be so hard on Koch brothers for foreign bribes. That is a little hypocritical don't you think. I mean after all he has been bribing our own government for some time. Lets go after them for that.

I don’t like anyone doing business with Iran so I’ll condemn it. I didn’t see any complaints from the left when it was discovered that GE and Obama’s buddy Immelt were doing business with Iran. Can I assume that everyone is equally upset about that?
