In Response To Redhanded101's

This is a critique of a recent article by Redhanded101, “Rules for Radicals, Liberals & The Media” (please read it if you haven’t). He has once again shined the “light” on the liberals’ un-American and hypocritical ways. In his article Redhanded tries to focus on the Rules for Radicals:

“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.

“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.”

But before mentioning rule #5 and rule #12 Redhanded wrote this, “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.”

“Loon Jobs”, I like it, is it okay if I use it for future articles? "Loon Jobs" I wonder if that constitutes "ridicule" under rule number 5?

In that sentence, Red says that there have been attempts “to thwart your efforts and attempts to keep you from using your First Amendment Rights”. Then somewhere in the third paragraph of his article he refuted he’s own claim, “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."

First Red tells you that the liberal left is ridiculing you and “thwart”ing you from practicing your First Amendment Rights, but then he tells you the email telling people to to organize and "make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act".

Make up your bipolarity, is Obama (a liberal loon) for organizing and expression, or against it. I don't understand based on what you are writing.

Here’s a piece of information for you to ignore Red, maybe the loony liberals are not attacking your right to express yourself, maybe they are attacking the content of your speech, the point you are trying to make, the message of your expression.

Maybe just like you are attacking their message. No one is accusing the right of denying the freedom of speech of the left every time the right wants to disagree with the message of the left. But the right openly accuses the left of denying them the First Amendment.

Is Obama’s Gestapo shutting down these Tea Parties you are talking about? Are Obama and the loons arresting tea baggers? Are Obama and the loons arresting those Patriots walking around with fully automatic rifles and signs threatening to shoot, if not kill, the President? Has anyone, even one tea bagger been arrested for voicing their concern? One? What proof of this accusation do you have sir? Where is the proof that the liberal loons are stopping you from allowing you the right to express yourself?

You (the Patriots) have been talked about on Fox News, the leading cable news channel owned by Rupert Murdoch. The news channel with the highest rating. By all means a mainstream multinational corporation. Fox News whose headquarters are in Rockefeller Center. You have been reported on NBC, ABC, CBS. Almost every newspaper in the country has reported on the Tea Parties. The Tea Parties are discussed on the radio, whether it is am or fm. Whether a morning show or a talk show. The Tea Partiers, for being a very small minority of the American people, have been given more than their share of the political coverage.

Red also had this to say on the matter:

“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.”

Who exactly is calling you a racist and radical for “protest against the runaway spending and the trillions being added to our debt”? Last time I checked, President Obama and the loons have answered those concerns. They have acknowledged those concerned and given you answers for those concerns. You just weren’t listening. I think responding to the concerns is not calling someone a racist and or a radical. In fact I think that if someone responds to a concern without resorting to name calling means they are accepting your concerns, not ridiculing them. Do you know the answers given in response to your concerns?

Also if someone calls you stupid for saying that the Cash For Clunkers program gave away free cars, they are not attacking your right to express yourself. They are saying that Cash For Clunkers did not give cars away for free. And that if you want to stick to that statement then you are a liar. Not a racist, not a radical, you are a liar. You should be labeled "ignorant and out of touch", it's a nicer way of saying liar. By calling you ignorant, it is giving you a chance to your lie and to give you some respect. I will not give you that respect, I will call you a liar.

Red goes on making his delusional accusation (he really thinks he is a victim of something), “if you have the guts to ask a legislator if they have read the bills they sign, you are a Right Wing Nut”.

No, no one said that. That would not make you a "Right Wing Nut". You see Red, it is statements like that which make it hard to understand when you are making a valid point and when you are just be inflammatory and hyperbolic. It is hard to tell when you are being a critic and when you are just twisting stories and ranting.

After you asked the legislator if they have read the bill, what was the answer? Did he or she say yes or no? Can you back up that claim? Are there any sources to back up anything you claim in your article?

So now if we can go back to that first quote I used in this article, the one talking about Rules for Radicals and the Constitution:

“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.”

At least this time around you said that this was a “guess”. That what you are saying is not objective or based on any fact.

Oh and that part you bolded...I would unbold that and bold something else instead. I would bold “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, to properly talk about the healthcare issue.

You went straight to revolution without stopping at “Life”. The right to a life. I “guess” no people die from not being able to receive care. I “guess” being too poor to afford care is not an infringement to the “Life” mentioned in the Constitution. I “guess” those that lose health care coverage due to losing a job don’t have a right to a “Life”. If he, the unemployed, has a heart attack and can’t afford care, sorry buddy “Life” is a right only applicable to those covered by health insurance and can afford medical costs. I “guess” you are right about this one.

And all of you that are angry, depressed, dying because you cannot afford care, sorry the same goes for you as far as “Happiness” is concerned too.

Anyway, forget the Constitution, those loons haven’t even ever read the damn thing. Let get to the Rule for Radicals.

“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.)”

These are some of the wording Redhanded101 has used in his articles and comments found on Allvoices (I recommend reading these quotes in context):

1. “Socialists wanna be's”

2. “Thank God, there were no Liberals around at the time, if not we'd all be paying allegiance to Engalnd. No one can douse the spirit of Americans that truly care about this country. Not a Liberal around will put that fire out.”

3. “These are the very same Liberals that have Marched in the millions to support the cause of the Gay community and their crusade to have the right of Marriage. They have discounted, disrespected, condemned and deomonized the Church in their all out effort to be on equal footing. Had it not been for their protests, perhaps they'd all be content with Civil Unions.”

4. “It is always easy for the Liberal. They enjoy entitlement programs and huge government but never offer to spend any of their money. It's always on the backs of taxpayer dollars that Liberals want to remake the country and redistribute wealth. Their only allegiance is seeing to it that they preserve their own nest eggs and continue to live the lifestyle of the rich. It's never about allegiance to this country.”

5. “They are the Elite”

6. “They sympathize with the worst of terrorists. They somehow feel ashamed to be Americans. They enjoy blaming her at every turn”

7. “These are gutless people and don't let anyone try to tell you anything else. They'd desert their country in a minute if it meant saving the enemy or letting a terrorist walk.”

8. “It is curious to see how a bunch of Facebook cowards”

9. “I say, anyone that has a Facebook account and cares about the right kind of healthcare reform instead of what Obama & Pelosi are dishing, cancel your account. Cancel your Facebook account until this dopey group comes to their senses and opologizes to John Mackey.”

10. “I think they can handle the name calling. If you can dish it out, you better be ready to take it as well.”

11. “But instead what you get is about 22,000 geeks on a growing Facebook Group calling on people to boycott Whole Foods because of an Op-ed piece written by it’s CEO, John Mackey extolling the benefits of his model benefits plan.”

12. “Why don't you Project some of that anger towards the irresponsible Black males in this country who seem to think that fathering children and then dodging their obligation is ok.”

13. “The problems with Libs is that they don't care about this country. Thye do not have anything vested in this country. The question that no Libe has been able to answer since I have been writng on this site has been, If you don't like this country, if America is such a bad place, if America discriminates against certain groups, if our healthcare is broken etc....Why do you still live here? Venezuela or cuba are not that far off...”

There are many, many, many examples of these kinds of comments. What I am trying to illustrate by showing these quotes is that Redhanded101 is secretly a liberal. There is a conspiracy to undermine American principals and Red is in on it. At least I “guess” he is.

Redhanded101 is a liberal. He has said it himself. The Rules for Radicals is like the Constitution for liberals, and Red has followed these rules.

And also the part about being a hypocrite and speaking up against the right for people to protest and express themselves. Red had written that liberals don't want people to protests and that liberals are hypocrites. And they all are well versed in Rules for Radicals.

In the article “Rules For Radicals, Liberals & The Media”, Redhanded101 has come out of the liberal closet.

Let’s see the times that Red has used rule #5. 13 out of the 13 quotes I took out from Red’s articles and comments are in line with rule #5 of the Rules for Radicals.

Let’s see rule #12. By my understanding of rule 12 it is again 13 out of 13.

Hypocrisy: 39 out of 13. Why 39? Because he was a hypocrite for the 13 he received for following rule 5, the 13 for rule 12 and another 13 for being a hypocrite.

Thwarting the Right to the First Amendment: Well this one I wasn’t too sure, I either give him 13 out of 13, or...no never mind, it’s 13 out of 13.

Redhanded101 is a self hating liberal, based on the standards he presented to qualify as a liberal. Hand over your conservative credentials.

Red you have proved yourself as a liberal in a conservatives body. I think there are surgeries that can help you feel normal. I also have a prescription I would like for you to consider. It is called "practice what you preach". Take two of those and write me in the morning.
