Ron Paul disgusts me.These monsters only understand one thing-violence and death which we will visit upon them until they wake up in hell.These people ARE the boogeyman.Let us help them along the way to martyrdom and their 72 virgin goats(poor goats)Patton said the point of war was to make the other bastard die for his country.Lord Haw-Haw is dead-a shame Hanoi Jane wasn't visiting.

As many people by now know, George Soros is a patron of the Center for America Progress. Another patron, and founder of CAP are the Sandlers of San Francisco.

The Sandlers are known for selling Wachovia bank bad debt, which help sink that bank, thus earning Herb, and Marion Sandler a place in the history of the current economic collapse. Soros, of xourse, is a hedge-fund maniac.

Both Soros, and the Sandlers are satirized here on Saturday Night Live. (scroll about half way down)
http://thebunker.teapartytribune.com/2011/09/03/fear-inc-connecting-the-dots-live-blog-day-3/

"Herb and Marion Sandler are the billionaire founders of the Center for Responsible Lending. The Sandlers made a fortune in the subprime mortgage industry, thanks to the success of their bank, Golden West Financial.
Golden West and its subsidiary, World Savings Bank, were among the biggest sources of subprime mortgages, especially of adjustable-rate loans called option-ARMs. Herb Sandler is credited with the invention of the option-ARM, which his bank marketed as “Pick-a-Payment” mortgages. These loans were extraordinarily popular in the years preceding the subprime mortgage crisis, generating billions in profits for the Sandlers’ banking empire.

Recent exposés by “60 Minutes” and the New York Times have focused national attention on the Sandlers’ role in the subprime crisis. The Sandlers’ loans, described in the Times as “the Typhoid Mary of the mortgage industry,” are part of a second wave of toxic debt predicted to default over the next several years, hitting the economy with another $600 billion in losses.

In October 2008, “Saturday Night Live” parodied the Sandlers in a skit about the financial crisis. Their characters appeared in a mock congressional hearing, over the caption, “People Who Should Be Shot.” SNL and parent company NBC removed the skit from the Internet and reruns after the Sandlers protested loudly for censorship. That same strategy worked with the New York Times, which softened its criticism of the controversial couple several weeks after the article’s publication. However, both the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are pursuing investigations into claims that Golden West/World Savings lied to investors about the quality of its loans, as well as illegally luring customers into loans they could not afford.

The Sandlers made over $2.3 billion on the sale of their company to Wachovia in 2006, and they have used their fortune to fund organizations advancing their political aims. They have given millions of dollars to left-wing groups, including ACORN (radical activists implicated in election fraud investigations in over a dozen states), and the Center for Responsible Lending (a “consumer advocacy” front-group that lobbied for expanded subprime lending while promoting its funders’ business interests).

Because

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
Ayn Rand
