Very few Americans realize there exists a large network of far left philanthropists and foundations in America dedicated to destroying the American way of life, our Christian-based culture and our free enterprise system. They seek to remove America from its constitutional foundations and move it toward a European-style socialism. Much of this effort is coordinated by a little known group called the Tides Foundation and its related group, the Tides Center.
The Strategic Principles of the Tides Foundation Over the course of its 33 year history, the Tides network has given hundreds of millions of dollars to anti-free enterprise groups, gun control groups, anti-private property groups, abortion rights groups, homosexual groups, groups engaged in voter fraud, anti-military groups, and organizations that seek to destroy America’s constitutional basis. All told, over 100 leftist organizations have received funding from one of the two Tides groups.
Not surprisingly, this network of anti-American groups played a key role in electing Barack Obama by using classic propaganda techniques in making false allegations about Bush (he lied regarding WMDs, he stole the election in Florida, he knew in advance about 9/11, etc, etc.) and created the impression that Bush and by extension, the GOP, was corrupt. Obama, of course, was portrayed as the reformer who would save America from this corruption.
Millions of Americans fell for this mythology and so without being openly partisan, this vast network of far left groups, along with its media allies, was able to manipulate American public opinion during the last election cycle. Meanwhile, anyone who tried to reveal Obama’s real agenda, his role in the corrupt Chicago political machine, his socialist political associations, or his soft spot for Middle Eastern terrorists was labeled a kook by this same network.

Soros
The taxpayers?

Taxpayers, whether they like it or not.
I believe Beck is doing a magnificent job at shining the light on these cockroaches.
Soros funds leftist extremists.
Obama does the same with our money.
these cockroaches.
I believe you have insulted cockroaches everywhere - better they are blood suckers, pond scum, scums of the earth and I could go on and on!
Politics. ‘Polite ticks’. :-)
The most important line in the whole piece is the last line. If Americans just said no to their products and let the companies know why, you would see a large number of these entities change their minds.
Ephesians 6:12 (King James Version)
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
They must have funded McCain too, just didn’t give him as much.
Who actuall runs the Tides Foundation?
There is a history of such contradictory activity -- as exemplified by the case of Pyotr Kropotkin.
In the late 1890's, Kropotkin -- a professed anarchist -- commuted between London and New York, attending soirees in the silk stocking districts of both cities. His "giant intellect" made him a favorite of the high societies in both cities. His "giant intellect" largely consisted of an admiration for Marxism and a friendship with Lenin.
Kropotkin became one of Lenin's most effective fund-raisers, raising funds from the wealthy in the centers of capitalism.
These naive rich people committed huge sums to the support of a man and a philosophy which was committed in turn to destroy them!.
For ordinary people, it's a mystery. But self-loathing is a very human phenomenon among the idle rich.

Wish we had the proper insecticide ;-)
