Obama Is Overwhelming the American System
NewsReal Blog ^ | July 15, 2009 | Matthew Vadum

President Obama is “pulling a page from the community organizing playbook and he’s overwhelming the system,” Glenn Beck said on his TV program. “It’s a calculated tactic, straight out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and it seems to be working,” he said.

Alinsky was a Chicago Marxist who laid out a strategic blueprint by which radical “community organizers” could incrementally transform America into a socialist state. He was, to be sure, the foremost tactical and ideological influence on Barack Obama from the time the latter first chose to enter politics. Among other things, Alinsky advised organizers (like the young Obama) not to focus for too long on any given issue or concern, but rather to constantly keep shifting their attention from one crusade to the next — so as to: (a) prevent the public from becoming bored with any particular one those crusades, and (b) to avoid the public scrutiny that tends to result whenever people are given time to focus their attention on a single matter for a sustained period of time.

If the system crashes, there are going to be a lot of patriots that have a different “reboot” in mind.

And his freeloaders and cult followers still have no idea what is happening. When and if they wake up it will be too late. Most of this crap he has hurt us with will be such that they cannot be reversed. Communists America, here we come.

Could not have said it better myself — right on!!
There is another aspect of this that gets ignored. The only people that like what these madmen are doing, is them. Even foreign government leaders do not like it. That makes them a very vulnerable minority. But presently, they are so drunk on POWER AND CONTROL they don’t see it....or care.

Naw, we are plunging too fast for stopping at communism, we’re headed straight into fascism as fast as Soros’s littleman Rahm and his affirmative action bastard figure can flush US.

As with lying, these types of strategies work until you’ve “poisoned the well”. I do commercial real estate in Las Vegas and get to meet all kinds of shysters, they blow into town and play their games until everyone knows their stink and won’t touch them.

Obama isn’t far away from that point.

There is plenty of pent-up demand for increased gov’t control in Congress too.

Sorry, bud. There are more of us out here than you seem to realize. Tyrants can and should be overthrown, if necessary with the blood of free men. I believe it, I teach my son to believe it, and most of my neighbors believe it.

We aren’t Germany, or Russia, or China, or Cambodia, or even pre-Franco Spain. Obama and his supporters are certainly trying to establish the one-party socialist state, but he forgets that there are some places where that seed won’t sprout. I can see the one-party Congress writing thousand-page laws, and Obama’s executive writing reams of regulation, and most people flipping them the bird and ignoring the law - including the law enforcers. Even Obama’s attempt to create a brownshirt paramilitary force is doomed to failure, in my opinion - I can easily see young men (and women) sitting around smoking weed and telling the boss that they’ll get around to whatever he wants, maybe tomorrow. (This is my memory of working as a civilian for the Connecticut National Guard, circa 1977.) In the end, I imagine Obama barking orders no one follows and giving directives that are undermined and mismanaged by disgruntled underlings. In other words, we’ll travel straight from Lenin to Brehznev in our socialist evolution. Then the system will vanish like the snow in May (for those of us in Alaska).

All changes in human institutions and traditions can be “reversed.” The left has been working on undermining Western tradition for decades. Time to return the favor.

Cloward Piven, yes- while most of us sit and watch and do nothing and the Repubs are silent. God help us.

This is Piven-Cloward(a couple of Ivy league lefties of the 60's)--their plan to replace our govt.with new was to make so many demands on it, the govt. could not sustain them. It tanks, new govt formed. And with Obama a new Constitution--he is on video 8 yrs. ago in a NPR (I think) interview saying our Constitution was written flawed.
