#1 Deutsche Demokratische Republik--they were "Democrats", too. Coincidentally, the highest proportion of Neo-nazis comes from its former territory. That is: Neo-NDSAP (National Deutsche Sozialist Arbeit Partei), still called, for some obscure reason, "right-wing".

#3 George Soros and Peter Lewis have pledged $100 million over the next fifteen years to support a permanent idea factory rivaling right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the mushy centrism of the DLCâs Progressive Policy Institute.

It won't matter how many dollars they dump into the thing. The only number in the MSM's Rolodex is "Brookings".

#5 A critical flaw in their plan is that they can elect radicals all they want, but they will never have power. Moderates who cooperate with the republicans will rise to the top because they will be able to bring home the pork. Only incredibly stupid and stubborn democrats will continue to back losers forever.

Aren't Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Michigan, CU, Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, enough?

#8 Aren't Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Michigan, CU, Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, enough?

Looking at their effectiveness, jackal, obviously not. On the other hand, each dollar spent to generate useless ideas is a dollar not interfering with democracy. And it is possible (in the sense that anything with a probability greater than zero is possible) they might come up with something useful to the country. ;-)
