If you're a virtous and patriotic American, get used to the concerted effort from the White House, Media & Loon Jobs called Liberals, to thwart your efforts and attempts to keep you from using your First Amendment Rights to put a halt to the trainwreck that has become this administration.
They are having Fits
How dare these people organize and protest against Healthcare choices & free markets.. This is so unbecoming of Americans. They can't all be law abiding well-intentioned individuals. This must be the work of narrow minded racists..Radicals or interest groups.We can't have this. This is Anarchy. Organizing & protesting is only allowed by free thinkers & ideologically sound citizens groups like Unions or Code Pink or Abortionists.
Organizing is Ok When....
Organizing & protesting takes on a new meaning when of course the President sends out e-mails to the entire nation imploring us to "Organize for America""This is the moment our movement was built for."
Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month," the president goes on, "where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act."
Hypocrisy all the time
It is so easy to point out the hypocrisy of Democrats & Liberals and how they ridicule any well meant & oraganized grass-roots movements by concerned citizens. If you protest against the runaway spending and the trillions being added to our debt, you are now some kind of radical or racist. If you protest against the takeover of 1/6th of our economy by a bunch of beancounters that can't even run a tiny program to give away cars for free correctly, you are labeled as ignorant and out of touch.
In this new way of thinking, if you have the guts to ask a legislator if they have read the bills they sign, you are a Right Wing Nut. This is the Radical Way of thinking. This is the Left's version of the Constitution. Rules for Radicals. They have been taught well.
My guess is that many Liberals have never read the Constitution or care to. They don't believe in it. They can quote from Saul Alinsky and their playbook , Rules for Radicals, but they will not defend our Constitution. Which clearly states:
That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Putting the playbook to work
Instead, the Left uses tactics right out of their founding father's version of the Constitution, Rules for Radicals. It is how they try and get things done. It is how a President learned his craft and is now applying some of the same tactics . Liberals could not be happier.
They have learned their lessons well - Two in particular come to mind:
1. Rule#5 - "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? Heard the ridicules? Angry Mobs, Racists, Ignorants, Radicals. Sound Familiar?)
2. Rule#12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works. These personal attacks on Teaparty Protestors has crystallized this. The support network, is non existent. There is no Media coverag of these Protests because the media is complicit with this administration.)
I can name a couple of Allvocies contributors that are mastering these two rules. They have them down to a tee. But you know who you are and I will save you the embarrassment.
Through it all, us Radicals & Racists as we have been labeled, have made significant progress and have brought about change.
Our small & tiny group of organized protestors have brought to light the abuses of Acorn and they will finally be defunded by the federal Government.
We have exposed the Radicalism and treasonous diatribes of our wondefrul ex-Green Jobs Czar Van Jones. he is no longer on the tax payer rolls. The focus has shifted to talk of vetting and having the rest of these czars go through Confirmation hearings and bring about the transparency that Barack Obama promised.
We have opened the dialogue on Death Panels and the concerns of many Seniors on this matter. It is no longer part of any Healthcare Bill.
We have started a conversation on Illegal immigrants and the extent to which they would be covered.
And the biggest concession to date has been the backtracking of any Public Option or government option to any Healthcare Bill being proposed. It is safe to say, that the Trophy piece of the Liberal agenda to include a Public option is dead.
We have started a conversation on Tort Reform and interstate commerce amongst Insurers . All of these things would have never been brought about if it were not for those pesky " radicals & racists" who thought enough of their country and it's future.
So, to all of those who bravely stand up and protest for the causes of many Americans across the country, I salute you.
