Who is Peter B. Lewis ?

Time to re-think purchasing car insurance with Progressive. Excerpted from DiscoverTheNetworks:

Peter B. Lewis is the current Chairman (and former CEO) of the Progressive Insurance Company, which was co-founded in 1937 by his father, Joseph Lewis. According to Forbes magazine, Peter Lewis today possesses a fortune worth an estimated $1.1 billion. A strong supporter of the Democratic Party and its agendas, Lewis first became active in politics when he served as the Ohio finance chairman for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. "I did it essentially because I hated Richard Nixon," Lewis recounts. Over the years, Lewis has used his immense wealth to fund a host of leftist political campaigns, organizations, and causes.

Lewis was born in 1933 and graduated from Princeton University in 1955. A decade later, he took the reins of Progressive Insurance. Overseeing 100 employees and $6 million in revenues when he began, Lewis eventually grew the company to the point where it employed 14,000 people and boasted sales in excess of $4.8 billion annually. Progressive is now the third largest auto insurance company in the U.S.

Lewis is particularly interested in promoting the legalization of marijuana. In 1998 he was a signatory to a public letter addressed to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, declaring that “the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself.”

Between 1991 and 2003, Lewis contributed $5 million to the American Civil Liberties Union's drug-policy litigation project, which challenges current laws dealing with drug testing in schools and the medicinal use of marijuana. He also made large donations to drug-legalization initiatives in Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Utah, Florida, Maine, and Massachusetts.

According to the anti-drug group, National Families in Action, Lewis has "contributed heavily to the destruction of thousands of America's children" by promoting the notion that marijuana possesses medicinal benefits and by telling youngsters that "pot is OK."

In 1999, Hoover's Handbook of American Business described Lewis in print as "a functioning pot-head." In 2000, Lewis was arrested after customs agents found 1.7 ounces of marijuana and two ounces of hashish in his luggage at an airport in New Zealand. The charges were dropped when the billionaire, who said he was carrying the drugs for "medicinal purposes," agreed to make a donation to a drug-rehabilitation center.

The reclusive Lewis does not grant interviews to the press and is rarely photographed. According to a Jane Mayer article in the New Yorker, Lewis “spent much of 2004 discreetly directing millions of dollars to liberal groups allied with the Democratic Party ... while cruising the Mediterranean Sea on his two-hundred-and-fifty foot yacht, Lone Ranger.”

During the 2004 election cycle, Lewis was the second leading donor to the non-party organizations known as “527s” -- named after a section of the U.S. tax code that permitted unlimited "soft money" donations to groups pledging to use the funds not for the "express advocacy" of any particular political candidate, but rather for "voter education," "issue-oriented" political advertising, and other nebulous enterprises. Lewis donated nearly $23 million to such organizations in 2004, including $16 million to the Joint Victory Campaign, $2.9 million to America Coming Together, and $2.5 million to Move On.Org.

In 2004 Lewis estimated that he had thus far given away some $250 million during his lifetime, nearly half of it ($117 million) to his alma mater, Princeton University.

Along with George Soros, Lewis is a key financial supporter of Democracy Alliance and Media Matters for America.

Lewis retired as the CEO of Progressive Insurance in 2000, but he remains the company's Chairman of the Board.

In February 2008, Lewis contributed money to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. He is also a close friend of Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy.

Lewis' home in Coconut Grove, Florida is decorated with numerous Andy Warhol paintings of the late Communist dictator Mao Zedong.

George Soros funded MoveOn.org that created the ad which directly compared George W. Bush to Hitler and this nation’s policies with the Third Reich. George Soros loves to fund leftwing causes and groups. He supported the now convicted lawyer, Lynn Stewart, who aided Muslim terrorists. George Soros funds groups who oppose George Bush. He created the Open Society Policy Center, an organization that would obstruct U.S. law enforcement from prosecuting the "War on Extremism" and that would also direct illegal aliens into America's medical systems.

Somebody needs to give these leftwing rats a muzzle.

Anti-War Billionaire George Soros Funded Iraq Study

More tainted research from George Soros, proving once again that the dirt will always come out of the wash. But we have to ask, how many Americans did Soros help get murdered, due to his filthy infection of statistical data? From Fox News:

A study that claimed 650,000 people were killed as a result of the invasion of Iraq was partly funded by the antiwar billionaire George Soros.

Soros, 77, provided almost half the nearly $100,000 cost of the research, which appeared in The Lancet, the medical journal. Its claim was 10 times higher than consensus estimates of the number of war dead.

The study, published in 2006, was hailed by antiwar campaigners as evidence of the scale of the disaster caused by the invasion, but Downing Street and President George Bush challenged its methodology.

New research published by The New England Journal of Medicine estimates that 151,000 people - less than a quarter of The Lancet estimate - have died since the invasion in 2003.

“The authors should have disclosed the [Soros] donation and for many people that would have been a disqualifying factor in terms of publishing the research,” said Michael Spagat, economics professor at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Good grief, somebody get George Soros a muzzle

From CNSNews.com:

Reports of plans to set up a new, left-wingJewish group seeking to lobby the U.S. government on Mideast policy have worried some in Israel, who fear it could undermine the existing pro-Israel lobby in Washington and harm Israeli security. The reports indicated that among those considering funding the initiative is billionaire George Soros, a harsh critic of Israeli policies.

Ron Kuby, Daniel Barenboim, Deborah Fink, Adam Shapiro, George Soros, Stanley Cohen, "Rabbi" David Weiss, are just a sampling of Jews who are self-loathers when it comes to their acknowledgement and pride in being Jewish. Just Google each of them and read what each says about Israel and Jews, and see for yourselves. Listen to Ron Kuby on streaming audio on the internet at www.wabcradio.com or read how David Weiss believes that Israel is on stolen "palestinian" land.

These Jews and Jews like them do not want to be in a position to have to assert their rights and take their proper place in the Jewish family of nations; what is important to them is to be accepted, wanted, liked - and to achieve recognition and success in whatever part of the world they find themselves, no matter who they have to stab in the back in order to achieve their goals.

Manfred Gerstenfeld at The Jewish Center for Public Affairs writes:

Anti-Semitic attacks on Israel by Israelis and Jews are frequently indistinguishable from those by non-Jews. Among the specific aspects in the anti-Israel writings of some Jews are the use of their family's Holocaust experiences, their references to being Jewish, or an association of some kind with Israel. Assaults on Israel and Jews by non-Jews often use statements from Israeli or diaspora Jewish defamers as a legitimization. In order to fight verbal attacks against Israel by Israelis and diaspora Jews more effectively, a much better understanding of their background, motives, and methods is required.

A biography of George Soros on Discover the Network begins with these facts:

George Soros is a Hungarian immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1956, at age 26, and made his fortune as an international financier. His father, who was born into an Orthodox Jewish family, changed the family name from Schwartz to Soros in 1936 - a move that enabled the Soros family to conceal its Jewish identity and thus survive the Nazi Holocaust. In 1947 the family emigrated from Hungary to England, where an event occurred that greatly influenced the development of George's personality and worldview. He broke his leg and was cared for by England's National Health Service, free of charge, while the Jewish relief agencies of that era did not offer him the help he believed they owed him. In that convergence of events was born Soros' favorable opinion of Democratic Socialism, and his negative view of many Jewish groups.

It is pathetic that a Jewish relief agency would take the brunt of Soros' dysfunctional transferance, rather than the perpetrators of Nazism who tormented his family, but - hey, that's a symptom of his dysfunction.

George Soros funded MoveOn.org that created the ad which directly compared George W. Bush to Hitler and this nation’s policies with the Third Reich. George Soros loves to fund leftwing causes and groups. He supported the now convicted lawyer, Lynn Stewart, who aided Muslim terrorists. George Soros funds groups who oppose George Bush. He created the Open Society Policy Center, an organization that would obstruct U.S. law enforcement from prosecuting the "War on Extremism" and that would also direct illegal aliens into America's medical systems.

In Rare Jewish Appearance, George Soros Says Jews and Israel Cause Anti-Semitism

Democrats prove once again what a brainless community they are

Folks, the election is hardly 24 hours old and already the Democrats have made a huge mistake, one of many that I predict they will make over the next 4 years. And trust me - each and every time they phuck up, and you know the Democrats will, the rest of us will be all over them like white on rice.

It's payback time.

Meanwhile, here's what Zuniga and Soros and Clinton and Michael Moore and TownCrier's Demo-bots have done in Minnesota. They have elected Keith Ellison, a Muslim, to congress.

"Oh, Smoooth, you can't be so predjudiced like that."

Oh, I can't? Try me.

Here's some facts about the black Muslim, Keith Ellison.

Keith Ellison is a 43-year-old lawyer. Ellison converted to Islam as a 19-year-old college student in his native Detroit, and won with the help of Muslims among a coalition of liberal, anti-war voters.

He advocates an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq along with strongly liberal views. While Ellison did not often speak of his faith during the campaign, awareness of his candidacy drew interest from Muslims well beyond the district centered in Minneapolis.

Opponents focused on Ellison's sloppy handling of his taxes and a slew of unpaid parking tickets, along with his one-time affiliation with the Nation of Islam, whose leader, Louis Farrakhan, has been criticized for making anti-Semitic remarks (and for being possibly behind the murder of Malcolm X). Ellison back-peddled and subsequently said he worked with the group largely to promote the 1995 Million Man March.

But let's get more current. In October of this year, Joe Kaufman wrote an article on FrontPage about Keith Ellison. Here's what the article was about:

Joe received an e-mail about a lecture that was taking place on October 14th at the Southwest Focal Point Senior Center, located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The event was being sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Keynote Speaker was listed as Keith Ellison, a candidate for United States Congress from Minnesota and a man that has raised thousands of dollars through CAIR. Joe Kaufman and his group, Americans Against Hate, planned to be there and welcome him in protest. All was fine, until he attempted to sit in on the event.

Before that event, Joe wanted to prepare himself concerning the lecture, so he tried to corroborate the information to make sure that it was correct. He searched the Internet and found nothing. He went onto CAIR’s and CAIR-Florida’s websites – nothing. He went onto Keith Ellison’s campaign website – nothing. Details about this event were nowhere to be seen. It wasn’t until he spoke with someone from the Pembroke Pines Police Department that he found out the information was indeed accurate.

Questions popped up in his head: Why is this event being made a secret? Why is a Congressional Candidate from Minnesota campaigning in South Florida? And right before the election?

What Joe Kaufman and his group Americans Against Hate were protesting was the fact that Keith Ellison had accepted campaign donations from CAIR officials.

Ellison had taken money from CAIR’s National Executive Director Nihad Awad, CAIR’s National Chairman Parvez Ahmed, and CAIR’s Government Affairs Director Corey Saylor.

Given CAIR’s ties to the terrorist organization Hamas, given the fact that four CAIR representatives have previously been charged by the U.S. government with terrorist activity, and given the fact that CAIR is being sued for its role in the attacks on 9/11, Joe believed his case was strong.

Joe and other members of Americans Against Hate arrived to protest and a CAIR op came outside to videotape them. Joe's group did the same to him. They told the CAIR op it was worse for him – CAIR already knew what Joe looked like. Joe's folks asked him questions, but like a good CAIR soldier, he didn’t say a word. When it was time for Joe's speeches, which were made at a podium they had brought, the op moved closer to video them. Joe's speech contained some hard-hitting evidence of CAIR’s terrorist ties. The op just stood there expressionless.

When Joe's group was about to leave when they decided to go inside to see the event. If someone from CAIR was videotaping them, why shouldn’t they be able to do the same? They asked the police officers if it was alright to go inside to videotape. They said it was okay, as long as they didn’t disrupt anything. Two of Joe's folks went in. As they reached the entrance to the affair, they were stopped by two people. “This is a private event,” one said, as he put up his hand to stop them. Joe said they received permission from the officers. He repeated his statement a couple more times. Areeb Naseer rushed out to speak with the officers. Altaf Ali looked nervous and confused. Joes' group took CAIR totally by surprise.

In the end, the officers said, since it was a “private” event they had to abide by what they were telling them. Joe's colleague stated that it was a public place – the center was owned by the city – and that they should be able to pass through. With all of the preceding questions, a new question arose: Why did they not want them inside? Keith Ellison is running for public office. Why was this a “private meeting”? What was being said inside that made it so private?

These are questions that Keith Ellison's constituents should have asked. Ellison came all the way to South Florida from Minnesota, less than one month before his election, to a private meeting that no one knows about, attended by only a small number of people, with individuals guarding the entranceway, an event sponsored by a group that has numerous ties to Islamic terrorism.

By the way, the homepage of Keith Ellison’s website offers a glaring contradiction to his mysterious Florida meeting. On it, he states, “Between now and November 7 -- and for as long as I have the privilege of serving you in Congress -- I'm going to be seeking opportunities for us to connect face-to-face. I'd like you and your neighbors to join me in town hall discussions around the district where we can talk about the issues that are important to us: the challenges we face and the successes we want to build on.”

Joe writes in his column, how is Mr. Ellison going to “connect face-to-face” with his constituents, when he’s in another state and he won’t even let the public into his events? It’s just one more question that needs to be answered.

Minnesotans - and the rest of America - should have demanded to know these answers, before they voted this CAIR lapdog into office.

It's too late now, ain't it. Well, congratulations, Democrats, you stupid idiots. You've started with the wrong foot forward. But don't worry, we'll be watching the other stupid mistakes you're all bound to make because your entire party is made up of several-hundred thousand enemy sympathizers and all of them are living within the US. Lovely. Phucking lovely.

Oh well, I pleaded with you all to stop being puppets but you wouldn't listen. If you think America was going down the drain, wait and watch how the Democrats really phuck it up.

And I'll be proud to place a new bumper sticker on my car with the same pride that all of the dumbasses who still have John Kerry stickers on their Volkswagen Jettas and Toyota Camrys, that will say:

Want to be a loser? Vote Democrat."

Good luck, Demo-dummies. We'll be laughing at you from the sidelines.

Vote Republican Today

Folks, it's very simple. If the Democrats win, the real John Kerry would be unmasked and free to play a pivotal role in supporting the United Nation's gun-banning agenda. George Soros, Michael Moore and the radical left would realize their lifelong ambition – to disarm the citizens of the United States. Before casting your vote, you must consider the ramifications of losing the right of self-defense, during wartime, with several-hundred thousand enemy sympathizers living within our borders. Our nation should not forget that it is Kerry's portrait that adorns the wall of the communist "War Crimes" museum in Saigon. So, please hold your nose and vote Republican. Don't be deceived into thinking you are noble to vote for a Democrat when in effect you are aiding the enemy. It is impossible to overstate just how important it is that President Bush deserves our support.

Remember that this election is occurring at a time when most Third World nations — individually and, in the United Nations, collectively — view the U.S. as the fount of evil, and when most of our World War II allies are part of a growing effort to challenge the hegemony the U.S. has enjoyed since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

It will be a time when well-financed fanatic fundamentalists from across the Muslim world, harbored and facilitated by Arab states, will continue their hit-and-run terrrorist attacks against the U.S., taking full advantage of the advances of technology and capitalizing on the unavoidably porous defenses of a democracy.

For those who accuse George Bush for "failing" to get Osama bin Laden, let me remind you that it took five years to get Adolph Hitler and we didn't really get him. He killed himself. Then we got him. And here's another fact; we think we got Hitler's body but we can't be sure; we didn't have DNA back then. We think we got it, he did commit suicide by shooting a hole out of his skull, and we burned the body and buried it, but we weren't sure it was him, but we guessed it was him. Do you see where I am going with this? Even though we weren't sure it was Hitler and the fact that it took five years to get him, well, according to Liberals, Democrats and other's who subscribe to faulty logic, I guess we were a failure back then too even though we won World War II.

Think, people, think.

Here's something else for the naysayers who want to vote for anyone but Republicans. We could take out bin Laden now. Do you know how? We can drop a nuke on his head. But, do you want that? Honestly, do you want the US to do that? Do you want to send 50,000 American infantrymen into the hills of Pakistan and Afghanistan the way the Soviets did in Afghanistan when thousands of Soviets died? Do you know how many troops Russia sent along with the British? This is the worst terrain in the world. You've seen video of it. Massive armies back then weren't able to do what we have done in three or four weeks.

So, think about voting Republican. Stop being puppets. Start recognizing that what Osama Bin Laden says on his tapes are sometimes actual quotes from Michael Moore. Bin Laden accused Bush of letting 50,000 Americans suffer in the towers while he sat in a children's schoolroom while two planes hit the towers. Osama Bin Laden must be taking his cues from Michael Moore. This is what happens when people go beyond the pale. Michael Moore, a Democrat, and his attacks on our president help the enemy! The enemy is speaking the Democrat's words back to us!

So please vote Republican. I ask you - will you be on the Michael Moore/bin Laden/John Kerry ticket or will you be on the pro-Bush/Defend America/On The March For Freedom ticket?

I don't know anything about war. But I do know a little bit about men who've gone to war. And none of them act the way John Kerry does. And no one I know acts the way Michael Moore, George Soros, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats act. Vote Republican because you must vote today as if your life depended on it.

George Soros - a back-stabbing Jew - takes another aim at Israel

Billionaire investor George Soros is leading a move to stitch together an American Jewish political lobby that is "anti-Israel," according to a column in the Jerusalem Post.

Soros, who spent millions attempting to defeat President Bush in 2004, is one of a "tiny minority of American Jews" who have played a role in undermining support for Israel in the Democratic Party, and they now seek "to undermine Israel's position in the U.S. in general",Caroline Glick writes in the Post.

Soros has invited another American Jewish billionaire, Peter Lewis, along with "North American Jewish plutocrats" like Charles and Edgar Bronfman, to join forces with him and leftist Jewish American organizations [ Smooth: in other words, pro-palestinian] – including American Friends of Peace Now, the Israel Policy Forum and Brit Tzedek v'Shalom – to construct a political lobby that will weaken the influence of the pro-Israel lobby.

"Many of the individuals and organizations associated with the initiative have actively worked to undermine Israel," Glick writes.

"Soros caused a storm in 2003 when, during a fund-raising conference for Israel, he alleged that Israel was partially responsible for the rise in anti-Semitic violence in Europe because of its harsh response to Palestinian terrorism."

Glick also points out that in November 2005, the leaders of the Israel Policy Forum met with Condoleezza Rice and urged her to dismiss Israel's security concerns regarding two of the Gaza Strip's border crossing points. As a result, Rice pressured Israel to make dangerous concessions to the Palestinians.

And after Hamas' electoral victory in January, American Friends of Peace Now, Israel Policy Forum and Brit Tzedek v'Shalom worked to shield the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority from Congressional sanctions.

Together they worked to torpedo the Palestinian Anti-Terror Act, which enjoyed overwhelming support in the Congress and was designed to update American policy toward the Palestinian Authority in the wake of Hamas' ascendance to power.

Among its provisions, the bill called for an immediate end to U.S. assistance to nongovernmental and U.N. organizations operating in the PA that had connections to terrorist organizations.
