Great Community Service project you have going there!
And I doubt it’s a LEMON-sucking that’s going through their minds!
Thanks for all you do.
the pamphlet that Thomas Paine Agrarian Justice was originally written in French and translated to english. The elitists in the day of Paine, Franklin, jefferson wrote in French the international language. The Agrarian Justice is available at the Social security Online History. just thought everyone would like to know that at the social security administration Thomas Paine is recognized the right of the disabled to receive health care. Please do keep in mind that Saul Alinsky is basing many of his premises about Community Organization that came out of European Intellectual Thought. He utilizes Alexis Toqueville Democracy in America. This thought came about by the French Intellectual Movement. Here is where we may see that Obamas education at the supposed Occidential, Columbia Universities may be actually fronts for his education in Paris through exchange programs. he could take classes abroad but still be considered at student at Occiedentail and Columbia. He could attend internationally at the prices he paid in the states or was paid by some one else. I remember the coursework I took in college on American and European Intellectual History and I had the opportunities to study abroad but never did. Please do not misunderstand I do not make myself out to be an intellectual, but in order to have studies in american and european history and many many the prerequisites for seminary in a state school allowed for the coursework in some rather mind blowing elitist attitudes. Interesting that much of Obama screams are coming from the intellectual movement that spread through Europe, In France shortly thereafter the French Revolution that entailed and many of these same intellectuals literally lost their heads on the guillotine. In the vaccuum Napoleon rose to power and it ended in disaster and Napoleon was exiled to the Island of Elba where he succumbed to aresnic poisoning, when his body was exhumed he was perfectly preserved like he died the day before being exhumed.
I just finished reading your link—cried like a baby. Please continue to bring these insights to this conversation! Our children are historically unprepared for our country’s current crisis. Thank you for sharing.
I still believe that Paine’s Common Sense makes some very powerful observations and will continue to post them here.
I agree. I hope you will. This statement alone has great weight:
Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.
My view of government is not that it is evil, but that it is —human— therefore it will always be flawed. Paine made a very important point, having the feeling of security as fully as possible while at the same time giving up as little as possible, is by far the more preferred route for a human to desire. The reason the American form of security as established by the founders has been corrupted in the years since our country’s beginning is because it was built on the premise that the Creator established a natural law by which we all benefit. This very premise has become undesirable over time by many who reject the Creator. This premise ultimately requires a nurturing —society— to have a moral code which does not condone depravity. This means —life— must be VALUED in all its forms. The current health care debate revolves around the idea of life and how it can be —valued— with the giving or taking of goods and services by the determination of our government. Man seeks to place himself in the Creator’s seat.
PRECISELY!
As Government grabs more “security” away from us, i.e. the bigger that safety net gets, the more FREEDOM we lose! We were all given the ability to choose, but some wish to completely give up that ability in exchange for the handouts from Government.
Alinsky’s RFR mentions that he was to begin with a sociologist.
Here’ a good, I think, article on sociology that may serve as am eye-opener.

“Having only taken a couple of sociology courses, two things are evident to me. First, most sociology teachers are nuts. Second, inherent in the study of sociology is an assumption that the sociologist has the right to control other people.”

NOTE:
Of the several sociology courses I have taken (years, years ago), most of them were cross-referenced as soc/psych so that credit could be taken as either soc/psych...e.g., “Sociology/Psychology of...”
From the outset can see how frightening Alinsky is in his active destruction.
Satan was unrestrained by moral implications, and in his plans, the question of whether something is moral or immoral is irrelevant. Aleister Crowley said the sum of the law is "Do what thou wilt."
I suspect as we delve into this book and Alinsky's tactics, we will find that in all of them there are only two considerations: Will it work, and can I get away with it?
As we learn the tactics, it should be with a mind of finding how to counteract them, not how to implement them for our ends. We have to learn to expose the lie to the light of truth, not co-opt the lie to our own purposes.
Thanks eeevil. Please add me to your ping list.
Matter of fact, Sociology is not the only “discipline” that could be listed among the pseudo-sciences...
