We have to "target" every RINO in Congress with "crosshairs" for the next set of election cycles.

If they are not with us, they are against us, and this proves it.

For some reason this brings to mind the study about teens being more interested in self esteem than sex these days. When self esteem seems to be tied to conforming to the liberal line, its a bad thing.

Kind of like when they told me that all “normal” kids had homosexual feelings back in my 1980s sex ed classes. Fortunately we grew up quickly in the country and didn’t buy it.

Why is it that every time we win we get snookered by this kind of fascist malarky?

I’ll keep looking.

Here’s this:

“Alinsky viewed as supremely important the role of the organizer, or master manipulator, whose guidance was responsible for setting the agendas of the People’s Organization. “The organizer,” Alinsky wrote, “is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach — to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God.”[39]”

“Five Steps to Bring America Down” (Beck video)
http://thepartyofknow.com/2010/11/10/glenn-beck-soros-5-step-plan-to-bring-america-down/

Soros’ 5 steps in print (according to Beck)
http://www.examiner.com/american-politics-in-vancouver/the-five-steps-of-george-soros-control-of-the-us-according-to-glenn-beck

Lastly, here’s this, CC:

“SOROS: I really became engaged in domestic politics in 2004, because I felt that single most important thing I could do to make the world a better place is to help get President Bush out of the White House.

BECK: Country after country after country, we found that there are five steps to him gaining control. He does it over and over and over again.

So, let’s see what the steps are and let’s see if he’s done any of them here.

The first one is form a shadow government using a humanitarian aide as cover. This is what he just said. It’s kind of funny — it’s kind of fun. The first step he said is subversive activities. OK?

Step two: control the airwaves. Fund existing radio and TV outlets and take control over them or start your own outlet. Remember, take control of existing or start your own.

Step three: destabilize the state, weaken the government and build an anti-government kind of feeling in the country. You exploit an economic crisis or take advantage of existing crisis — pressure from the top and the bottom. This will allow you to weaken the government and build anti- government public sentiment.

Step four: you provoke an election crisis. You wait for an election. And during the election, you cry voter fraud.

Step five: take power. You stage massive demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins, general strike, you encourage activism. You promote voter fraud and tell followers what to do through your radio and television stations.

We’ll start at the beginning, shall we? Do any of those sound familiar? This is the way George Soros takes a country down every time — every time.”

Is there someone on FR who can distill these things into small words to send to our supposedly wise congresscritters. Anyone know? This would have to at the standards, plain-language 8th grade Federal guidelines.

Bullet points.

Should also be translated into how these are created
a) in pictures, for non-English proficient viewers
b) in the use of ‘emotional intelligence’ words to the same effect.

Hear, see, speak/taste, touch/feel. The only thing missing is smell.

Over years of government conferences and/or what ever I have experienced the Delphi technique being used. I always recognized the ‘facilitator’ scam but didn’t know it had a more basic name. Not having this in my education courses, I assume it is a poly sci or sociology thing. It is this deviousness of government this Nation is now going through.

I have no doubt that this has been a tactic of the Left for years in this and other countries. However, the Left owns our government now. They don't have the general support of the American people, but they own all of the mechanisms of government - the legislature, the courts, now the executive branch, and the bureaucracies. The anti-government fervor that they may have fomented would only serve to defeat their interests now, not promote them. Of course, it's possible that they just didn't think that far ahead - always revolutionaries and never actual governors. Also, in this country, at least, I think the Left's worst outcome would be to tip the country over into actual revolution, because at that point, the patriots in this country will have no mercy on the marxists. There will be a purge. Take that to the bank.

I have been in my field for 30+ years, so when the locals formed a Meth Task Force, and didn’t notify me of it, I knew something was odd. At one meeting when I attended, the group was going to rename themselves Drug Task Force. This was because meth problem had been curtailed in our small county.
I simply asked where the figures came from and specifically asked the drug counselors if they had seen the curb in meth use. None had.
A local county commissioner moved to close the meeting. When noone seconded his motion, he got up, put his coat on and left. All eyes were on him. I never did find out what the agenda was that I had interupted.
I still laugh about it when I tell it around town.

OUTSTANDING POST!!! I put this into my tagline so (hopefully) more people will understand how this stuff works.

Use of the Internet short circuits these techniques, which is why the Internet seems so conservative, relative to the rest of the country. The fact is that the Internet IS the country, and reason why 70% or 80% can be against something like illegal immigration (yet nothing is done) is because of these tactics.

It is CRITICAL that people understand this stuff - so at least the liberals are less effective.

This is good- very good. I have actually seen this used in college classrooms, but didn’t know what it was.

Thank you.

as a fellow Maineiac, I can assure you that “the Delphi Technique” was in full force during the states recent “mandated” School Consolidation Process.....

I watched in amazement as one by one the opposition crumbled to support the “group think” and to be praised by the “facilitator”

(from the article ...>> The facilitator seeks to polarize the group in order to become an accepted member of the group and of the process. The desired idea is then placed on the table and individual opinions are sought during discussion. Soon, associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and they pressure the entire group to accept their proposition.) <<.

In one of the open discussions I got the “facilitator” to admit that his job was to allow us (the school board reps and public appointed reps) to pick which type of representation “We the People” would have in the New expanded district”....I said...The fact u tell us its a State mandate, your only job is to have “We the People” pick which way We'll be executed...Hanging...firing squad or electric chair!....Great!!!...He was livid!!!...Id exposed the function of our Mandated consensus!
