Saul Alinsky on "Change"...

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

Statement from Communist Party USA (CPUSA):

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

I’d like to propose a motto:

“Peace On You.”

[Chaguito]

Orwellian.

[Fox_Mulder77]

This is plain terrifying!

Imagine a Lib/socialist/communist/democrat/radical reading your reply!

They'd say you're a hate mongering Nazi for fearing The Obama Department of Peace & Non-Violence

ROTFLOL!!

[realcleanguy]

They are following Hitlers footsteps. I am still amazed it’s gone this far without being challenged

From Barack Obama's official website:

“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

-Shepard Fairey

See? It's all about "peace, love, togetherness" and "change".

Here are some of Fairey's other masterpieces. No joke. Most of his works are along these same lines (anti-American, pro-communist propaganda). Check the link.

From Shepard Fairey's official website (ObeyGiant.com):

Check it out! I got a thank you note from Barack Obama. If he is elected, maybe I have a get out of jail free card. All kidding aside, I’m honored to be acknowledged by someone so important to the future of our country. Also, the Obama campaign asked me to do a poster illustration for sale on their site. It should be out next week on barackobama.com.-Shepard

Here is the 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.'"

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
PROFILE: ANGELA DAVIS

* Communist professor at the University of California’s Santa Cruz campus
* Recipient of the Lenin “Peace Prize” from the police state of East Germany in 1979
* Provided an arsenal of weapons to Black Panthers who used them to kill a Marin Country judge in a failed attempt to free Davis' imprisoned lover, Black Panther murderer George Jackson
* Icon of the campus Left and frequent guest speaker at anti-war rallies
* Leader of a movement to free all criminals who are minorities claiming that they are political prisoners of the racist United States
* “The only path of liberation for black people is that which leads toward complete and radical overthrow of the capitalist class.”

Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the “History of Consciousness” program at the University of California - Santa Cruz. A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a “University Professor,” one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant. This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students. Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

I would bet that there is already a "Department of Subversive Conservative Internet Members" as part of the "Obama Transition Team" and you and I BOTH are on their list, not to mention Jim Robinson!

Obama should just worry about all of the violence in his own backyard first

[WackySam]

If Obomber is elected I will be moving to Costa Rica a little earlier than planned. I do however promise to return once the bullets start flying.

[combat_boots]

A neighbor has reported that his car was vandalized and the front bumper ruined today.

[Quix]

One of my American “Christian” [who didn’t know whether he believed in Christ or not but was on the Methodist board in Hawaii—sheesh] friends in Taiwan . . .

a retired UN official . . . was vigorously trying to get the DEPARTMENT OF PEACE established as a cabinet office.

He was totally unreachable.

Arrogant, stubborn, clueless.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I have a few of those ribbon magnets with “Support the Troops,” God Bless America and God Bless Our Firefighters on them. Some ‘RAT bastard in Flagstaff, Arizona “keyed” the side of my vehicle. DEEP! Probably one of “America’s future” attending Northern Arizona University.

[Joan Kerrey]

“Why does Obama’s statement, that he wants a “National Civilian Security Force” as strong and as well-funded as our military matter to me?” ___________________________________ Civilian force would basically serve Obama only, in secret, while the military would serve the people, controlled by Obama, ofcourse, as commander in chief. The civilian force would be exempt of constitutional restraints and would be the primary protector of the executive branch and oversee the activities of the Office of political re-education and their camps throughout the country.

[lonevoice]

I wish this was a hoax, but it’s not.

[visualops]

mark for later

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Didn't I say basically the same thing?

[Shelayne]

Everything about BHO and this election is reminiscent of the “Left Behind” series. Sometimes it feels as if we fell into the plot of one of the books, with just a bit of editing.

I keep thinking this is a really bad dream, and I am going to wake up soon. I mean, seriously, America, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA? Really??

[metmom]

I know just what you mean. My kids see it as well.

The real bad dream may start Nov 4.
