PEERING INTO A CRYSTAL BALL

Media Matters was founded in 2004 to massage the news according to the progressive mindset. You have to look closely to realize the genesis of this group.

The founding dollars came largely from Daddy DeepPockets, George Soros. The worldview that Mr. Soros embraces and pours money into (as if from a boot)...the same worldview that he seeks to influence others toward...can be understood at this link:

Mr. Soros has some pretty interesting ideas. On death and dying, for instance, he gave a speech in 1994 and reported that he had offered to help his mother, a member of the Hemlock Society, commit suicide.

Then there is Hillary Clinton. She had something to do with the founding of Media Matters according to her own words in a speech given on 08.04.07 to the Kos Convention.

Soros/Clinton. There's a pair of progressives.

Walk back in your mind to the early 2008 campaign. Would anyone ever have predicted defeat for the Clinton machine?

And didn't Hillary seem to step back toward the end of the campaign...and acquiesce to her opponent? It was surprising that there were no hardballs from the Clinton war room.

More surprises. President Obama talked of putting Hillary in his cabinet. Didn't he know how badly she wanted his job? But she played ball and Mrs. Clinton did become his Secretary of State.

Now all of a sudden we are hearing James Carville in soundbites again. And Hillary is making critical comments from foreign countries about our debt. Is the old Clinton machine firing up again? Hold that thought.

What is one thing that has been repeated about our president besides that he is a socialist and big-spender? OK, you're right. That question is too broad. I'll just tell you what I'm looking for. President Obama is known for his use of a teleprompter.

Although glib of tongue, could it be that President Obama follows a "script"? Could Mr. Soros be controlling this fray from on high? Let's also wonder if the plan from the beginning was the old "one, two punch". What would the one, two punch look like?

Well, at the risk of sounding conspiratorial...how could the progressives win and keep the White House? Perhaps George Soros' plan was to run the black candidate first (because America was ready to erase their guilt). Barack Obama comes in with hurricane force and gets as much social policy changed as his fawning popularity will allow. He would not be worried about a second term; he knows he lives in the daylight for a season. That would make sense as to why President Obama goes on vacation after vacation and entertains lavishly in the White House (think $100/pound Wagyu steaks) and flies First Dog Bo to their Maine vacation in a separate jet. What does he care?

That's the first punch.

Then raise the curtain on the second act. Entering stage left (of course) Mrs. Clinton arrives for the next punch. She positions herself as the moderate candidate (sound Clintonesque?) and swoops in to the rescue. "Oh, President Obama was way too far left. Let me bring us back to center."

Tell me, now. When President Obama started showing his true color as a waaay left guy, didn't that make Hillary look reasonable? I even had that thought. I thought "well, she's on a power trip, but at least she likes our country".

America, please know that progressives will not come proclaiming change. We've swallowed that line already. Now progressives count on us falling for the bait-of-the-day, moderate.

There is nothing moderate about the progressive ideas Mrs. Clinton has for our country. Hillary and Mr. Soros want to take America to a place unimagined ten years ago. If President Obama got elected because the media did not vet his candidacy, let's not make the same mistake twice. KNOW what George Soros and Hillary Clinton believe.

It doesn't take a crystal ball.
