Wisdom occurs in odd places. The particular example I bring to your attention comes from the website FDD (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies). Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
The article in question deals with the letter of opposition to continued funding of the Ukraine war and a demand for negotiations with Russia to end that conflict. The letter, signed by 30 progressive Congressfolk, was almost immediately withdrawn.
I call your attention to the following concerning who was pushing the views espoused by the letter. FDD writes:
The Quincy Institute is funded both by George Soros, a well-known leftist billionaire and Charles Koch, a prominent billionaire on the right.
What they appear to have in common is isolationism. It’s likely they come to that standpoint for different reasons. Simply put: Left isolationists see America as unworthy to be a world leader. Right isolationists see the world as unworthy of American leadership.
COTTonLINE cautions that collaborations like this one between left and right have, in the past, had ugly long-term consequences.
