Big Journalism : Barack Obama's Helter-Skelter, Insane Clown Posse, Alinsky Plans to 'Deconstruct' America

Fri, 2 Apr 2010 21:01:49 +0000

Antidotes for Alinsky's rules: Rule 5: Fight Ridicule with crickets and/or isolation ("we don't think it's funny, there must be something wrong with your unfunniness" Rule 11: Fight polarization with neo-Voltairism - "I may not support what you are doing, but you have every right to do it and we will stand up for you." Rule 6: Make them work for it. The shortest distance to a goal is a straight line, we need to "unstraighten" it. For example, there is a Flickr user who has pictures of Tea Party "misspellings." I showed this to my left leaning friends, who at first laughed. When I corrected them, shamed them and isolated them by pointing out that if you do not respect others, you cannot respect yourself, you could hear crickets. Hard to argue. I think our Alinskyites actually need parental figures. Treating them like children, chastising bad behavior. Pointing out that bully's tend to have an emotional void and probably bad parents, etc. is my solution. Your mileage may vary.

Why is Obama continuing warrant-less wiretaps? And considering extending the policy to domestic only calls? Why is going back on his word on transparency and "state-secrets"? Why are we still sending troops to war? 20K+ more to Aghanistan, in Iraq until at least next year with an open ended security agreement? Why is Obama seeking control of the Internet? Did you know that he wants the power to shut down ISPs in the event of an "emergency", which of course is never spelled out? Why is Treasury talking about seizing control over any company it deems unworthy, even if it doesn't take stimulus money? Why does the stimulus bill take away states's rights? This is not my fantasy, it is your fantasy that it is not happening. Ask yourself the question, how did the Germans ever become Nazis? They had useful idiots like you enabling the chancellor.

Just to belabor my point. 1. Jeffersons letter that is the foundation of the argument of separation of Church and State is the equivalent of a speech or letter from a contemporary politician (Though I suspect Jefferson had more integrity). 2. The "journals" that you referred to are copied into the legislation, The committee appointed to prepare a recommendation to these states, to set apart a day of thanksgiving, brought in a report; which was agreed to as follows.

First the point being whoever claims that the United States was not founded on Judaeo-Christian principles and beliefs was woefully deficient of evidence, short of a letter from Jefferson, similar to your speech argument. Second, the wording and invocation of G-d and Jesus Christ in government documents is evidenced in most of the founding texts, discussions, meeting notes, etc. To ask for evidence of the founding of this country on principles of this religion and then to ignore the tomes of evidence that exist in the Library of Congress and settle on a singular note from Jefferson is dishonest. And on Jefferson's opinion, there are many writings from him, even as a Deist, , that far from discount the need, but actually support the idea, for a national religion, just not one proscribed by the government, Sorry, but these are not journals of a particular politician: Mr. [William] Clingan, a delegate from Pensylvania, attended and took his seat. Congress proceeded to the choice of a president; and, the ballots being taken, The Honble. Henry Laurens was elected.1 [Note 1: 1 Roberdeau wrote: "Henry Laurens, Vice President of South Carolina, a worthy, sensible, indefatigable Gentleman, was this day chosen by a unanimous vote, except his own, President of Congress." Pennsylvania Archives, First Series, V, 735.] The committee appointed to prepare a recommendation to these states, to set apart a day of thanksgiving, brought in a report; which was agreed to as follows ...

Breitbart.com : Mexico slams Burger King for \'whopper\' of insult

Every year we celebrate Cinco de Mayo - this year, as last year we will celebrate it. Makes the Mexicans mad around my parts. But instead of tacos, I think Burger King Whoppers and Margheritas will be on the menu. This from a country whose national anthem should be La Cucaracha.

Notice this ain't happening in Texas? I feel sorry for how helpless those folks felt in Binghamton. If only the mere threat of someone having a weapon existed in that scenario. And this guy thinks he's a comedian using these unfortunate events to advance his agenda. Funny how no-gun-zones become free-fire-zones while defenseless citizens are attacked. Good luck getting the warhead, if you got that kind of money, be sure the Obama Administration will tax you until you can't afford it.

It is classic liberalism, not social liberalism or progressive liberalism or progressiveness or whatever avoidance phrase adopted by socialists in drag.

Please clarify how you came to this conclusion: "However, you sound prone to be hostile to anyone who has the slightest difference of opinion from your own." from my comment on your rant: You have got to be kidding right? Stalin, Hitler, Mao have killed more people than any religion can hope to claim. Christianity brought Europe out of the Dark Ages and to the New World. Noone says you have to believe in anything - that's one of our founding principles, founded by men of religion.

That's funny, are you being stalked by Roman Catholics or Muslims? G-d is dead - Nietzsche Nietzsche is dead - G-d.

Please find where my hostility is evident in my comment, "Noone says you have to believe in anything - that's one of our founding principles, founded by men of religion." Nor does anything on record that I've commented on suggest so, however, your overuse of the question mark, "whose God is best????????????????????????????????????????????????" suggests that you are projecting your proclivity to be hostile. You categorization of me as a "type" also suggests that you group people based on some notion. If you want to discuss why Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other totalitarians target religiosity, please explain why? Do you suggest in this phrase, that these despots targeted evil people who you have explained were of my "type", "Who was Stalin, Hitler and Mao targeting and why? Evil people come in all sizes, colors and beliefs." So based on your comment you support extermination of religious people, Your type is exactly what has fueled all the past wars. Who was Stalin, Hitler and Mao targeting and why? Evil people come in all sizes, colors and beliefs. Good people do not have to believe in your God or anyone elses.

"For those who call that legislating from the bench, go back to school, this is what a judge is supposed to do. If you don't like it, and this will be what eventually happens, you can always just re-amend the Constitution to change the equal protection to clause to say ... " Go back to school, he says. I want my tax money back if they're teaching that if all else fails, get a mullah in a black robe to usurp the voter and DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW.

For anyone who doubts that the foundations of this nation, under G-d, was founded on Judeo-Christianity, please go to the Library of Congress, and do a search on our founding documents, not just the Federalist papers, but the Congressional record, Bills and Resolutions, Statutes at Large, etc. for the word "Christ". You'll get a few docs with Christopher as a result, but most refer to "Lord Savior Jesus Christ" or "Church of Christ." Just because you don't acknowledge it, does not make it less true. Here's a succinct example: Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1777 http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?hlaw:3:./te...

The United States was predominately founded by Christians for the free expression of their Christian faith. That these principles are no longer consider unique to Christianity, is a celebration for Christians to enjoy, but the fact of the matter is, Do Unto Others as You would have them Do Unto you was not a credo of the King George. Here are some foundations for all who need to remember the past to protect the future.
