@AThousandYoung saidthanks for that
Soros started his political activities by funding anti-communist groups in the Soviet Union.

Don't confuse the Right's use of the word "communism" to attack their rivals with real Communism.
@spruce112358 saidHe, Fauci, did not 'buy' his medal. It is obvious tht the only reason.for Soros is that he gave so much money to Biden.
@AverageJoe1
George W. Bush gave Anthony Fauci the Medal of Freedom in 2008. 😆
I don't remember you posting about it. 😆
Note the reason for the Medal, to do good for our country. So if you wuld like to write a good post, tell everyone what Soros did for our country.

Time to celebrate the life and achievements of George Soros, an immigrant to the US who has donated billions to establish truth, justice and the American way worldwide!
George Soros Is Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Soros is recognized for his lifetime work helping create more just and free societies
NEW YORK—The Open Society Foundations are proud to announce that George Soros today received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States.
A survivor of Nazi-occupied Hungary and then Communist repression, Soros has contributed more than $32 billion to advancing freedom and justice across the world. His early experiences shaped his lifelong mission to support open society and fight oppression in a vast array of places—whether that meant standing up for the Rohingya minority, sending humanitarian aid to besieged Sarajevo, or fighting discrimination against Europe’s Roma.
Beginning in 1979 with scholarships for Black South African students under apartheid, Soros pioneered a new, now widely adopted approach to philanthropy of working directly with local communities. Anticipating the fall of Communism, he established his first foundation in Hungary, and expanded to support democratic reform across Eastern Europe. Over the next decade, the Foundations grew to work in more than 100 countries to promote human rights and justice. He has championed education, founding the Central European University, with the belief that critical thinking is a cornerstone of an open society. Broadening public access to information and ideas has always been central to his philanthropy and philosophy—promoting it through debate, arts, and culture. His efforts include establishing scholarships, fellowships, translations, and documentary film.
In the United States, Soros has advanced racial justice, invested in drug policy approaches informed by public health data, revolutionized end-of-life care, and helped achieve one of the most significant civil rights victories in modern American history—the 2015 landmark Supreme Court case securing marriage equality in all 50 states.
“As an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am deeply moved by this honor,” George Soros remarked. “I accept it on behalf of the many people around the world with whom the Open Society Foundations have made common cause over the past 40 years.”
Today, the Open Society Foundations support civil society groups and projects that sustain democracies worldwide, despite mounting challenges. In recent years, Soros has responded to global crises from COVID-19 to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while warning about threats from digital platforms and extremism.
“The medal marks George Soros’s lifelong commitment to promoting human rights, equity, and justice,” said Binaifer Nowrojee, president of the Open Society Foundations. “George is always courageous in the fight for open society without fear or favor. He has never been interested in promoting his own voice, but standing as an ally of those who are excluded or not being heard.”
Soros’s children and grandchildren will attend the White House ceremony. Open Society Foundations Chair Alex Soros will accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom on behalf of his father.
@spruce112358 saidFor the record, spruce thousand and of course Marauder are of the (concerted lock step ) opinion that Soros should hailed as having been good for our country. Note Hillary has really been criminally qualified as well, what a smelly bed!

Soros has had an explemary career supporting democracy throughout the world and deserves kudos for it. I have little liking for HRC though but unlike a certain con man she has never been convicted of any crime.
@no1marauder saidis she guilty of a crime?

Doesn't? Abolish.
Re: Soros - it makes sense. All the people I know who fled /left Hungary were good people: Imre, Ferenc, Tamas.

is she guilty of a crime?
Just how you like your upcoming dictators.
@no1marauder saidJesus . No reward for greatness? Downer. Is it because you are one of the whiners who say every one should get a trophy, or no one should get a trophy? You are, no question.

Or is it because you are uncomfortable that Hillary has committed crimes, but was never charged with any crime, got such an award? Or that Soros bought his way into getting the award?
Tell us, entertain us with reasons that people who excel should not get an award. Maybe you never won one as a child, except maybe for marbles, although that may have been a little too athletic for you?
No Medal of Freedom. Jesus. How bout Medal of Honor?
Does everyone realize what we have with marauder? He should have his own forum.

@spruce112358 saidGetting a Presidential Medal of Freedom Award from the likes of Joe Biden has the same value as getting a Gold Star on a child's drawing that you hang on your refrigerator because you don't want to hurt their feelings.

@AverageJoe1 saidI have not spent a single minute thinking about my feelings on George soros.
Wildgrass. Yes or no. You respect George Soros? Spare us ‘why’ . Libs are big on ‘why’ our side is black a white.
You see, your side has to explain, because your reasoning is fraught with vacillation.
See if you do a yes or a no. I know I know, it can be difficult. If I were a winnowing liberal, I would find it difficult as well. (I never say that liberal ph ...[text shortened]... se ‘as well’, I said that so you would feel better with the paragraph.)
So….yes or no, on Soros
But I know you have. He is not pretending?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidBut he trashes the importance and meaning and rarity of the honor given to special people.

You know, all of you liberals out there speak of Trump being a sexual predator, when this woman Hillary is married to a sexual predator. Won’t we all be glad when this is over on January 20. I wonder if Trump can strip some of these medals.
Marauder says no one should be recognized by our country. He has a point from a socialist point of view, in that for all of us to end up in the same place at the end of the day means that none of us can show up with a medal. Or all of us have to show up with the medal. That will confuse his social goals.
A good example of how some of their thoughts conflict with other of their thoughts. I almost feel sorry for those libs. Well, on second thought I don’t really.
Pitiful sorts. Pitiful Sorts of Soros.
@sonhouse saidDo you think Hillary is guilty of nothing? Haha. If Trump is a sex predator, what about Bill Clinton? I think that she IS.
Just like your deity Trump, guilty of nothing. Since Trump is in fact above the law.
Just how you like your upcoming dictators.
I think that he IS.
Hello?
Y’all have really been pitiful.. Can you pick it up in this new year??
