Community Organizing for Right Wingers: Using Alinsky’s Rules Against Them

I think it is kind of interesting that the IRS needs to arm itself with the kind of weapons our government is trying to vilify us for owning. What are they going to do? Force us to buy health care from one of the Presidents exchanges at gun point? What are they afraid of? If what they are doing is honorable, truthful and in line with the ideals of a constitutional republic then surely they would have nothing to fear. Why does the IRS need these high powered rifles?

I spent the day asking various people this question and the responses I got varied depending on the age of the person. The younger the person, a glossy eyed stare was the response. The older the person was the more concerned their expression became. This is the perfect example of a situation where many people will assume that just because they did nothing wrong they do not mind the IRS arming themselves just months away from having the power to force you and I to purchase health care we don’t want. Therein lays the issue, because many, many people are still waiting on all the wonderful benefits they will be receiving under Obamacare. So far what we know is that it will cost trillions more than projected, as admitted by the Congressional Budget Office. They have already admitted that people are being cut from the “preexisting condition program,” and finally some major teeth had to be pulled in order to get a little ten year old girl the lung transplant she needed. In other words a bureaucrat had to decide if she could have the transplant.

America, the Chinese are buying our property, and the politicians who sold it to them are laughing all the way to the bank. Consequently, the police forces we fund with our tax dollars are training for the day we find out about it.

Nothing but tyrrany and totalitarianism. Too bad half the American public has its head up its a$$ and doesn’t know what’s going on.

[sickoflibs]

Didnt I see a poll that says that 53% of Americans are willing to give up all their neighbors freedoms as long as in return they get free stuff and Obama tells them that they are safe?

[Truth2012]

YES! My very first post on FR, back 13-14 years ago, was JUST exactly this point.

Yes.. there are conservative community organizing projects now, FWIW.

Republicans, in small numbers (but growing) are starting to reclaim the Civil Rights movement.

THAT is what will save us.

While you are at it, if you really want to understand the Democrat tactics, read Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” which was written over 2,000 years ago. Also read Mao Tse-tung’s book on using “The Art of War” to take over China.

Let’s get to work on Linsey Graham- he has GOT TO GO

[dagogo redux]

I think the IRS and the other domestic governmental entities are being quite accurate in their situational assessment, and quite appropriate in their response. They are about to start a war. They are gathering intel, and gearing up. Makes sense to me.

Let’s get to work on Linsey Graham- he has GOT TO GO

Agree! And ANY other R who votes for this shamnesty bill....especially McShame, McFlake, The Rube....Lyin' Paul Ryan, etc.

I create lots of photomemes in order to push them outside of the conservative/libertarian "choir." They are easy to post on liberal or mushy-moderate facebook walls etc. The goal is to move the ball down the field, and photomemes are great for spurring discussion among the reachable.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Was that one I stole from you?

[Travis McGee]

Which one? And forget “stolen,” I post them to have them spread beyond FR. Preaching to the choir doesn’t move the needle across the dial. We need to instigate fresh thought processes among the reachable “moderates,” memes are great for that.

"Let’s get to work on Linsey Graham- he has GOT TO GO"

Having just witnessed the re-election of Borin' Orin Hatch, I can tell you that there seems to be a large pool of "low information voters" on the Republican side. His advertisements pushed all the right buttons, made all the right promises, and presto! He wins the nomination and election. And now he's back to his usual "across the aisle" b.s.

I don't know precisely what my point is, here, but the TEA Party was community organizing. And the Republican Party sucks.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This one.

[a fool in paradise]

The same government that says “What are you afraid of if you have nothing to hide” has been stonewalling investigations into corruption and dereliction of duty.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

My very first post on FR, back 13-14 years ago...blah blah blah.

Has anyone else taken note of a rash of folks with very recent membership dates prefacing their comments like this?

I find it suspicious.

[Truth2012]

Why?

Why would you?

A whole bunch of people posted here for many years and then moved around to different sites, or stopped posting. Clinton brought me here, and now Obama.. what would you not understand about that?

What is so suspicious?

Is it a Conspiracy? ;) lol..

[Chickensoup]

Well honey, lots of us have been here long time (me class of 98) and have had more than one name.

[Slambat]

Without a doubt, You are right on the money.

[Slambat]

“What is so suspicious?”

Commies have infiltrated everything else why would they or
how could they ignore Free Republic.
