We found that only one out of six Americans can find Ukraine on a map, and that this lack of knowledge is related to preferences: The farther their guesses were from Ukraine’s actual location, the more they wanted the U.S. to intervene with military force.

I'm guessing that the further away their guesses were from Ukraine's actual location, the more likely they were to
- be religious
- oppose marriage equality
- reject evolution
- support voter ID laws designed to keep minorities from voting
- want to cut "entitlements" but not the military

Can we just admit that one third of Americans are just plain stupid and should not be allowed to vote or reproduce?

When you place the Ukraine inside the borders of the continental United States, you shouldn't have a voice when it comes to important decisions.

It has to continue to be created or bought especially with people who are easily bought..

You've been taking logic and grammar lessons from the captain I see.

I have heard they fund the Cato institute and others:

At their level they all are quite philanthropic.

What does their public philanthropic donations have to do with their private and very secretive political donations? I don't have a problem with them funding their political agenda. It's certainly their right under the insane US election laws that allow pretty much unlimited spending.. I have a big problem with their being able to fund their agenda in secret. Soros funds a ton of money to the left. But it's all accounted for and in the public eye.

If the Koch Brothers were in Russia, they'd be called "Oligarchs".

How so?

Soros profits off of shorting currency at the expense of the US, Britain, and the Philippines to the tune of billions. But he is ok because it is transparent? If that is what he does in public what is he doing in secret, you don't think a guy like that is clean do you?

That link showed quite a bit, what is secret?
