You responded to my use of the word “plot.”
The key point was that we can do without your back stabbing.
Whether you plot or engineer, you don’t start by insulting, criticizing, and dumping everyone.

I too was thinking about the education aspect. How does textbook development and selection fit into this whole scheme as well as curriculum development? Hey, isn't that what Ayres and this Annenberg Challenge was about?

I wrote him an E-mail today and told him he needed to take a few more right turns.

And for some conservative converts it’s true. YOu are exactly right. A liberal residue, that can’t seem to be washed away, remains with them. In Medved’s case, it’s tactical as well.

No, I insulted your cold maypo logic.

And I was being very specific, unlike the broad brush you’re using to pint yourself in a corner.

I sure when you gleefully reach across the isle, they’ll be happy to pull the pin on the hand grenade you got for all your trouble.

Who said anything about reaching across the aisle?
I see you are not a rational person.
Go away.

He's very deceitful. I wouldn't be surprised.

I also think, no matter what he says at the end of every show about the U.S. being the greatest nation on God's Green earth, his primary concern is Israel and he's an Israel firster. Almost his entire family lives there. Michael lives here because it's where he makes his living, AND to press for continued U.S. support for Israel.

Exactly the response I expected. Nothing ever changes with losers.

Not Saul Alinsky’s tactis. Not his immorality.

We are to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” That is how we are strong — love, truth, and sincerity.

an art teacher once told me that you have to know the rules to break the rules...and this article highlighes the rules for radical revolutionaries and points out the weaknesses and that’s where it needs to be exploited in order to combat it

While working with these older texts, I’ve discovered that they have a few advantages over modern books. First off, they have high expectations for their readers. These books haven’t been dumbed-down to a lower standard or watered-down to politically correct pabulum. Since most children will perform according to their parent’s expectations, it is vital that we maintain high educational standards. These books help parents achieve that goal.

I have not read Rules for Radicals but I can only imagine the tactics it uses. Those would be some ideas to use obviously not the doctrine.

A couple of books I read this past year that give you a good idea on this though are by a guy named Robert Greene. They are 48 Laws of Power and the other is the Art of Seduction. The last one gives some good examples of those in history that mass seduced whole groups of people, including Countries.

Not talking about becoming a communist at all. Talking about organizing with like-minded citizens to take back our government using same tactics that work for the left.

I work at a non-profit nature center. They offer classes all year round for kids K-12, and 8 week long weekly classes for toddlers. These are field trip type classes, so the kids are still in assorted schools. I’ve seen public and private classes take advantage of the programs.

They also offer in the summer, week long summer camps for the neighborhood kids. No overnight stuff.

The big summertime push though is 3 weeks in August. It is called summer reading camp. Here the kids read or are read to out of all kinds of nature related books. Some of those books classify in my opinion as indoctrinational. The reading camp is done by adult volunteers.

Here is the thought...we need to start smallish. Perhaps finding someone to take on a neighborhood afterschool program of reading, creationism, arts, etc. Books and such could be loaned or donated. Perhaps a church would be willing to host such activities as interdenominational. Advertise in church bulletins.

A nonprofit could be established to help forward this agenda.

I don't want to win that way.

The question is not "Which way do you want to win?" The question is "Do you want to win?"

I have to disagree strongly with Medved on this one. After years here in so-called Minnesota Nice and being addressed as a “Texas F-tard” (Many people in Minnesota seem to spend time in the DUmp), it’s time to take the gloves off. The time for civility is over. As far as I am concerned, it’s four years of war. Yes, demonize the Marxists (I refuse to refer to them as Democrats any more), get in their faces, hurt their little feeeelings!

We need to fight back! Not become them but actually fight. The dems have been tearing down Bush from day 1 and we need to do the same. I’m so tired of guys like Bush or McCain thinking everyone is basically decent. McCain and the GOP should have been running ads of the dems fighting Fannie Mae regulations twenty four seven. They let Obama say the economic downturn is 8 years of failed Bush trickle down economics without answering. They should have been saying Socialism “Free House” caused this and you want more of the same. If we don’t start fighting it’s over and we will have two socialist parties

So, tell us what to do to block these “Alinsky tactics” the Obama’s and company are using.
