It is indeed a small world.

I followed a link tonight to a report published by the “Center for American Progress” (according to TIME, the most influential organization in Washington at this time) called “New Progressive America”.

There’s not a word about funding on the site but Wiki claims it is being or was funded by, guess who, George Soros and the Sandlers, amongst others, for a grand total of 25 million a year.

Another report on the site has some interesting statistics. It claims that the US is pretty evenly divided now, 48% conservative and 47% progressive (not liberal). They arrived at that conclusion by asking people who identified as moderates and liberals to choose between conservative ideas and progressive ideas.

For conservatives to win again they are going to have to appeal to more moderates. Liberals are probably a lost cause.

Huffington Post, Center for American Progress, MoveOn and probably many other progressive organizations have all been funded by George Soros. And of course, George Soros was funding Barack Obama before he even ran for the Senate.
