...wait until they push through amnesty and then gerrymander the congressional districts following the 2010 census...they are well on their way to building a permanent majority.

Plus, Obama just issued another executive order:

Pres. Obama Invites Hamas Terrorists to America

He will bring in as many new residents, from parts of the world that are likely to vote leftist, as he can.

If folks think about it, Porkulus is nothing much more than a patronage bill. One of it’s tenets provides more billions to ACORN. What do people think that’s for? He’s lining all his favorite organization’s pockets.

But when I see my countrymen go about their daily lives LIKE NOTHING IS HAPPENING

I know what you mean and I see those people every day but especially lately, I see many that are getting awfully panicky and they are doing things. Writing their Senators, emphatically arguing their cases to zer0 voters, and stocking up in case we have a SHTF scenario. Someone said( don't know if this is true) that Campbell's was a good stock to buy that canned soup is a big seller, bean with bacon and vegetable beef. lol

Actually, the UN will probably have to step in to “restore order”.

Foreign troops fighting AMERICANS? No way in hell. Our military won't allow that, will they?

In Chicago politics, pinstripe patronage refers to a political payback system where instead of rewarding voter loyalty with city jobs, significant campaign contributors receive government contracts.

It's a by-product of the age of big media. Obama learned about pinstripe patronage as an attorney at Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, as a July 21, 2008 article by Ryan Lizza in The New Yorker, entitled "Making It: How Chicago shaped Obama," documents.

E. J. Dionne, Jr., of the Washington Post, wrote about this transition in a 1999 column after Daley was reëlected. Dionne wrote about a young Barack Obama, who artfully explained how the new pinstripe patronage worked:

a politician rewards the law firms, developers, and brokerage houses with contracts, and in return they pay for the new ad campaigns necessary for reëlection. "They do well, and you get a $5 million to $10 million war chest," Obama told Dionne.

It was a classic Obamaism: superficially critical of some unseemly aspect of the political process without necessarily forswearing the practice itself.

Obama was learning that one of the greatest skills a politician can possess is candor about the dirty work it takes to get and stay elected.

At the time, Obama was growing closer to Tony Rezko, who eventually turned pinstripe patronage into an extremely lucrative way of life.

Despite the element of corruption indigenous to the pinstripe patronage that became part of executing Daley's Plan for Transformation, back in 1999 Obama glossed over the approach, seemingly endorsing it.

Shortly after becoming a state senator in 1997, Obama told the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin that his experience working with the development industry had reinforced his belief in subsidizing private developers of affordable housing.

"That's an example of a smart policy," the paper quoted Obama as saying. "The developers were thinking in market terms and operating under the rules of the marketplace; but at the same time, we had government supporting and subsidizing those efforts."

Same as Obama learned at the Annenberg challenge and in Chicago politics - make sure to be the Patron with a big pile of cash. Then hand the cash out for favors and power. And as the POTUS, Obama can wield a large pile of cash indeed.

Spend-a-porkulus—>Designed to Keep the Democrats in Power for GENERATIONS

*snip*

This plan represents the “best” of Chicago liberal politics as taught by the first Mayor Daley. Daley’s chief means of attaining electoral success was his reliance on local captains, who marshaled and delivered votes on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis.

Many of these precinct captains held patronage jobs with the city, mostly minor posts at low pay. Their job was to dole out favors in the name of the Mayor.

President Obama’s Spend-a-porkulus bill which stands before congress will translate Mayor Daily’s strategies to a national plane, Allow me to point out two provisions:

“Tax Cuts”

Here Obama goes around the middle man the local precinct captains and straight to the new votes. With these tax cuts Obama will be courting favor with the poor by developing a tax cut plan which is essentially welfare. US citizens who do not pay taxes will still be receiving money back from the government. But guess what it goes way beyond that because ILLEGAL ALIENS will also be getting this “tax cut” rebate from the government.

ACORN.

Remember Obama’s favorite community activist group ACORN? They are the ones who helped the future president “get out the votes” registering Obama voters in two or three counties, or registering fictional and/or dead people. ACORN is under indictment in 12 states.

This spending bill provides them with up to $5.2 billion dollars for their housing oriented activities, at the same time, it empowers the organization to act as President Obama’s grass roots precinct captains.

ACORN and Alinsky’s Rule #13

###

Those that follow ACORN closely know that the organization is skilled in the fine art of Saul Alinsky and his strategies for organizing.

Alinsky put his rules together in order provide a textbook for this without money or natural power to organize and to affect change without the sort of power and connections that those with power would have.

ACORN uses these fundamentals in order to harrass, manipulate and ultimately extort money from powerful people and organizations.

Their tactics come from Alinsky rule #13:

identify, isolate, freeze and escalate.

The blue print works like this. ACORN will identify an individual, usually a powerful head of a powerful organization. They will show up in front of that person’s home with several hundred protestors.

Since these powerful folks normally live in quiet and wealthy suburbs, such a commotion will soon be the talk of the neighborhood. The message for this person’s friends and neighbors will be clear “they are a bad person”.

By doing so, they will have isolated this person from their friends and neighbors. Soon, not only will the target themself be a pariah but so will their children. That is the process of isolation.

At this point, the target thinks that things can’t get worse, and it is then that ACORN only raises the stakes.

Not only will ACORN, and their protestors, show up everywhere the target frequents: the mall, the movie theater, the library, etc, but they will be there before the target even shows up.

As such, before the target even arrives to their shopping, ACORN will show up with a crew of several hundred to protest them.

To any of you who don’t feel inclined to click the link, do it anyway. It’s just audio and you simply must hear it.

One of the first things that leaped out at me when the stimulus was first brought up was the 600,000 federal employees. That is outrageous. That’s way out of line, and you probably don’t even need a thousand to administer a stimulus.

This audio is already all over the Internet, but we have to keep it going. Send to media, etc.

Oh my Lord in Heaven. I actually have more hope after hearing this audio than I have had in a very long time. I think we can win this fight.

That last line of the audio is so touching, don’t you think? It was like what’s his name in Dickens’s story. I’m so tired I can’t think of who he was but “It’s a far, far better thing I do....” comes to mind.

Reid blocks bipartisan amendment requiring citizenship verification for stimulus recipients

###

“While it is difficult to believe that Senate leaders might insist that illegal aliens have the same chance at new stimulus jobs as unemployed Americans, this scenario may now be at hand,” says Roy Beck of Numbers USA. “SA 239 is now unlikely to receive a floor vote.”

Can you feel it building? From every corner, on every issue, the libs will quash dissension and assert control.

QUESTION:
Isn't a "patronage" system in opposition to a "merit" or "seniority" system?
