Just who is paying for all the protests?

Between the eco stuff, and the minority but fervent controllers of the Democratic party, just who is paying? Even if many of the protests in all forms seem weak, one still wonders? Organization, and the constant media-friendly reports, makes one especially wonder.

The cynical will suggest big time underwriters are paying to gain some kind of future business and political advantage, to include continued funding of what works to enhance these advantages. Some think George Soros wants his son to President. After all, it worked for the Kennedy family. In this case, both sides know they are dancing with the devil, including the slathering politicians being funded for elections. The slightly less cynical will suggest this small percentage of Americans, and more importantly, a small percentage of the Democratic party, are just bleeding themselves dry, human energy wise and financially. Time will tell. In the latter case, it comes across like the Shaker religious group which bred themselves out of existence. Much the same will probably happen to the netroots kind of Americans, and their funding.

There is a third way to answer who is paying … it may be the American taxpayer. The cottage industry of non-profits as well as Arab charities is full of abuse stories that seem to suggest toleration for protesters or whatever, be they terrorists or freedom fighters. Just ask various opinions of now deceased Menachem Begin when the shoe was on the other foot. The point is this is a repeat problem in the U.S., and now it is the Arab Muslims taking advantage.

A rural southern land owner might make a comparison to the fire ant infestation. There are two obvious courses of action. One is to fight them continuously with all fire ant weapons. The other course of action in fighting them is to allow them to build up big nests, and then go in and eradicate them, again with fire ant weapons. Both ideas assume humans might win battles, but may lose the war.

Of course fire ants reproduce themselves at prodigious rates. But then we humans have the funding. Now if fighting fire ants is not a bipartisanship national interest objective, what is?

Funding national political objectives should be about the same. It is not happening now. What a sad state of affairs. And a back to basic question continues, just who is funding all the protests? And why? Voters answers to these questions should have much to do with their vote in 2008.
