In defending her husband’s debauchery, Hillary Clinton famously warned of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” based primarily on the political activism of billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife. Of course, there never was a vast right-wing conspiracy in any real sense, only a wealthy conservative funding various unrelated conservative causes. But the brawl that has erupted in the wake of the resignation of Florida Congressman Mark Foley was initiated by a left-wing activist organization that is one of the tentacles of a genuine vast left-wing conspiracy.
The eerily Orwellian “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics” or CREW, a Washington-based left-wing political activist organization is the party responsible for obtaining Foley’s emails and passing them along to the FBI. The question that hasn’t been answered is how did CREW obtain the private emails of a U.S. Congressman, a feat that hardly smacks of ethics. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that CREW is just one of a number of leftist organizations that receive funding from the shadowy Democracy Alliance.
The Democracy Alliance is a highly secretive fund-raising organization with well over one hundred very wealthy donors as members. Recipients of funds must sign confidentiality agreements to protect the identities of the members who want to excert a powerful influence on our nation’s politics without the bother of facing criticism for their views. The main figure behind the Alliance is none other than Hungarian-born ultra left-wing billionaire George Soros who is directing huge sums of cash to leftist organizations while witholding funds to mainstream Democrat organizations.
So when Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert told the Chicago Tribune, “The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros,” he was right on the money. What Soros and the Democracy Alliance are up to is not democracy. It is an organized attempt by wealthy elites to remake the United States to their liking without relying on a legitimate democratic process.
If Soros and his minions have their way, America will be transformed into a dreary socialist “utopia” complete with a ruling elite who themselves are not encumbered with the banal existence imposed on the masses.
There is indeed a left wing conspiracy and it is identical in goals and tactics to the right wing conspiracy. Slick Willy may have been having the wrong kind of fun with Ms. Lewinsky, but she at least was an adult of 23. The problem with playing dirty pool is that it always comes back to haunt you. The party that bills itself as standing on the moral high ground produced a Mark Foley and covered for him. I wish this country was still a democracy, operating in a free-market economy, keeping Church and State separate. Instead we are coming dangerously close to being a theocracy and a welfare state for the rich.
