Koch versus Soros
The American Freedom NetworkSeptember 13, 2010 – 6:39 pm A Recent comment on one of our articles attempted to compare the Koch Brothers with George Soros.
Yes the Koch brothers have given 250 million dollars to candidates, foundations, think tanks etc. George Soros has given 2 BILLION (8 times as much) to his collectivist causes, at least.
While you look up both the Koch brothers and Soros on the internet. Note and compare the tone of the articles you find highest in the search engines. Tell us what you note almost immediately (if you are honest).
While we wonder how a person who exploits their freedom to enrich themselves can in good conscience fight against freedom for other to do the same we just note some of Soros’ “causes”. (Note: Open Society and Tides are only a portion of the Soros political activism funding mechanisms.) Research each one of these when you have time.
