If the face is true evil, mine is beyond redemption. It is a shame that we judge people by how they look, the prettier or more handsome given the edge. No one should equate faces with intellect or what they can contribute.

Canada remembers when the Conservative Party paid dearly at the polls for attack ads mocking the Liberal prime minister with turned down corner of his mouth from a childhood affliction. Low blow.

One should expect King to know the face of true evil...

I don't have a clue who it is.

Words of wisdom. It's a face only a true believer could love.

Missing the point of James' post perhaps?

George Soros a billionaire who is vehemently anti gun.

Joe, I don't know the face either. At first glimpse thought it Buckley in decline but not likely to be posted here. I admired Buckley.

Dave, that gave me the idea there must be some tiny bit of redeeming to any person, including Soros, "the face of true evil." I looked at the conservative Koch brothers. Sure enough, they play both sides, saying one thing and doing another. From Huffington Post:

"WASHINGTON -- Despite their stated support for both personal and economic libertarianism, billionaires Charles and David Koch are sending funds through their dark money political network to support a "get out the vote" drive by evangelical Christians who oppose abortion rights and are furious at recent court rulings that allow gay marriage.

Over the past month, Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the central hub of the Kochs' dark money enterprise, contributed $885,000 to CitizenLink, a social welfare nonprofit focused on election engagement. The group was launched by Focus on the Family -- an evangelical Christian group that opposes abortion and gay marriage -- and was previously known as Focus on the Family Action.

The contributions to CitizenLink are being used in a "get out the vote" effort to help elect Republicans who share their opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights.


On Wednesday, CitizenLink reported spending almost $250,000 on direct mail to support Republican Senate candidates Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, Tom Cotton in Arkansas, Joni Ernst in Iowa, Cory Gardner in Colorado, Pat Roberts in Kansas, Dan Sullivan in Alaska and Thom Tillis in North Carolina. All of these candidates support banning or severely restricting abortion and oppose recent court decisions that struck down bans on same-sex marriage.

However, the Koch brothers appear to have different views on those issues.

"I believe in gay marriage," David Koch told Politico in a 2012 interview.

Daniel Schulman, a senior editor at Mother Jones and author of Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America's Most Powerful and Private Dynasty, writes that David Koch supports not only gay marriage but also abortion rights. Running as the Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate in 1980, David Koch backed a platform calling for the full legalization of abortion.

Charles Koch has been more tight-lipped on the policies pursued by Christian conservatives. As Schulman points out, however, he scoffed at the separation of economic libertarianism from personal libertarianism in a 1978 writing.

"What a spectacle it is for the same people who preach freedom in voluntary economic activities to call for the full force of the law against voluntary sexual or other personal activities!" Charles Koch wrote.

The Kochs' funding of groups doing work they supposedly oppose is not new.

Since 2010, the political nonprofit network operated by the Koch brothers has funnelled nearly $24 million to evangelical Christian and conservative Catholic groups that support legislating traditional religious morality and strongly oppose gay marriage and abortion, according to tax returns filed by Koch-run nonprofits and collected by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Including the recently disclosed contributions, CitizenLink has received almost $10 million of these contributions. Concerned Women for America, a large anti-abortion group, received $11.4 million from the Koch network since 2010. Another anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony List, received more than $1.5 million over the same time period.

Charles Koch has said those who would like to shrink government, cut taxes and eliminate regulations need to fund social conservative organizations, even if they support using the force of government to restrict personal freedoms."

Are they devils or saints or both? Is it more ethical to be Soros, the devilish, alleged face of true evil?

By almost every measure, in fact, it's the Democrats, not the Republicans, who are the party of the rich.

Start with Congress itself. Who are the wealthiest members? Well, there are 269 millionaires among Congress' 535 members. And most of them are Democrats.

And contrary to the hand-wringing on the left about the Supreme Court's 5-4 McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission ruling Wednesday, Democrats far outspend Republicans on elections. It isn't even close.

According to OpenSecrets.org, from 1989 to 2014 rich donors gave Democrats $1.15 billion � $416 million more than the $736 million given to the GOP. Among the top 10 donors to both parties, Democrat supporters outspent Republican supporters 2-to-1.

But what about the villainous Koch brothers, those conservative plutocrats supposedly seeking to control American politics? They rank 59th on the list of big givers � behind 18 unions and No. 1 Act Blue, the massive left-wing fund raiser that gives only to Democrats.

Yes that's right Dave he bankrolled the left wing terrorists organizations who took advantage of the situation in Ferguson.
As far as I'm concerned he's now a terrorist himself and it's open season on them.
