To assume that you are right, Ace and otto, I would have assume that there is a real, substantial and influential liberal power base in this country with the power to make changes in accordance with liberal ideals. I don't. I don't think there has been that kind of liberal power in the US in many decades. I think there is just exactly the amount of liberal influence in this country that is allowed to be. Therefore the idea of a 'liberal war' against anything having to do with the status quo is ridiculous.
It seems to me, rather, that conservatives need a 'liberal war' (much like they have needed all wars) in order to keep moving the status quo further and further to the right - which is exactly what is happening.
Honestly, I don't know who George Soros is. I hear the name a lot, but I don't know anything about him. But I do know that one man promoting powerless progressive organizations in an effort to dilute the preponderance of corporate-sponsored conservative influence in the US does not a 'liberal war' make. It's ridiculous.
You guys are suckers. But hey, you're on the winning team so have fun fighting your 'liberal wars' and 'socialist threats.' I won't be playing along.
