Comment on: From Jesse 'The Mind' Norman

TAKING DOWN THE GREAT ALINSKYITE

21 Comments

Dang, Jesse...

All I can say is that you get a traditional Navy "Well Done!"

Jesse

very very great work here!

On point about Palin. Palin had the libs terrified from day one. It took less than 48 hours for the controversey over Trig to surface. They had to act swiftly to try and make her look unqualified.

The other night, Dennis Miller said that the reason he likes Sarah Palin so much is that enough people he dislikes hate her. So if a ton of people he dislikes are attacking Palin, then she must be doing something write.

The lipstick on a pig comment was exactly what it was: an attack on Palin. No matter how they spun it, you saw it on his face and you heard it in the reaction of the crowd. Her speech at the RNC was entertaining and honest. She broke through that wall that Obama puts up around himself with his speeches and showed what he really is: an empty suit with a big budget.

Unfortunately for us, the empty suit is persuasive...we still have a huge fight ahead of us. I don't understand the math either. How can a man have an approval rating and a job rating that do not coincide whatsoever? "We hate what he's doing, but eh. He speaks so well!"

And the sheeple come home to pasture.

Three cheers for you, Jesse.

If only our dumbed down, apathetic electorate had half of your passion and dedication, we would get the job done of taking our country back. Keep up the good work, my patriotic friend.

Yes we will

Fantastic post that drives to action.
We all need to drive to action. The more specific, the better.
I have been with you for a while now, and didn't know it.

Jesse

He is doing the SAME THINGS that Jimmy Carter tried to do. The difference is that Carter tried to LEGISLATE his vision into being. Obama is doing it by TAKING OVER industries. More and more, it looks like Obama & the Liberals are PUSHING HARD to get as much of their agenda passed AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE before the backlash sets in. It looks like they think they will ALWAYS have enough votes to “hold the line”.

Thanks. I put a lot of work in this one. A Navy "well done" I'm very appreciative of. Coming from you, that really means something. You keep up the good work, too.

Thanks for the compliment. I think it was my best two posts I've done on here. When I was studying this book and researching, it certainly was the most eye opening thing I've learned about any person's agenda.

Thanks. My passion is a step down from yours. You do great work at gathering us here. That's something we must continue to do. Whether we write and the only thing that happens is we get complimented by eachother, or whatever the motivation is, our unintended effect can go much further. We can put ideas into eachother's heads. Those who are looking for an outlet because they have become concerned at how things are going despite the positive coverage of the press. In this particular case, realize what we're truly up against. At any rate, we must continue this.

Noam

Thanks. I tried to be as specific as possible. I hope our conservative politicians can find their way into reading this.

Carter was just an ultraliberal. A spineless one at that. I think Obama was more like Clinton with his gathering of power, but Clinton did it in a much more isolated way. Clinton just rubbed people the wrong way, even outsie his personal scandals. While ideology might come later, Obama's true agenda is power. Unrelenting power.

Some historical context, Jesse, et al.

The fascism of Woodrow Wilson, then of Hitler, FDR and Mussolini, was in all cases predicated on first destroying the existing system, culture, art; scorched earth. Socialism and Communism had playbooks. Fascism had a hurry-up offense, no huddles, no planning. Just experiment; do something, anything, act. Remember our '60s? "Burn, baby, burn."

When four economists wrote to Hitler, disputing the economic scheme, he responded, "Where are your storm troopers? Go on the street, go to folk meetings, and try to see your standpoint through. Then we'll see who is right -- we or you."

Mussolini in 1932 (echoing Wilson), "Reason is a tool, but it can never be the motive force of the crowd."

Good examples to use. Even none of them were able to do what Obama has done in a few months time in a free society. Hitler and Mussolini built their power over time. Obama came out of nowhere. Many were great at blinding the people and using the ignorance and hatred of the populace to accomplish whatever they wanted. America is a different animal. I think Alinsky's book was more educational about how to take over the masses than anyone before him, saving MAYBE the Communist Manifesto. Wilson was a good example to use, since he's American. I often bring him up in conversations saying he was the first socialist President. I think if he had his wish, he would have become a dictator as well. A true whackjob.

Jesse "The Mind" Norman: You're epic!

Jesse: Great piece of work. Have much admiration for you. Your posts are always based on good science, sound research, and a command of political strategies. Real cerebral stuff, sir. I learn much from you at every turn. Right now I'm Verne "The Big Toe" Strickland. But I'll be climbing up the key organ and appendage ladder to a more respected rung in due time. Granted I have a long way to go. I plan to check in on the Alynsky tome you recommend. If you like it, I'm all over it. Take care, Jesse. You're there, my friend, and a foundation contributor to our good cause. Best regards always, Verne.

jesse

I had been following your comments elsewhere about Alinsky....nicely done! You have pegged the Alinky-ite COWboy President and how he can be taken down.

Be prepared to show up on that RWE list, even though it's guidelines have been "retracted'!! I posted a few on my blog about Cyberbullying.
it's gonna take a lot, but there are so many of us who are ready and up for the challenge.

Verne

You are nowhere any fungal feet, my friend. Your personal experience can show us a light of what it's like on the inside. Your writing is superb. Compliments coming from you carry a good deal of weight. About that book, be prepared to be wowed when you take in what Obama has done in such a short time on a world stage.

Nee

I'm sure we're being monitored right now. I'm sure there are some that are looking for code words such as Alinsky and then investigating what is written about him and this President. That's marxism 101.

Jesse "The Mind" Norman

WELL DONE!

Let me know when you post.

Jesse

Didn't know whether to respond to this one or the other one!mwahahahaha T-A-K-E- A- B-I-G- E-F-F-I-N- B-O-W.Excellent post,and something I've said myself. These tactics,as they are,can be used by ANYONE. The libretards DO NOT own them,although they have used them with a lot of success.We may be late to the game,but can still win.Congrats on making it through that book. It is tough reading for those who still believe in civility.

Wilson, Hitler, Mussolini and FDR all

had some socialism in their game, but were "progressives" and, I think, liberal fascists. Both Wilson and Roosevelt were from-the-get-go so like Obama, it's surreal. What makes the situation today even scarier is that those guys weren't saddled with debt anything like what we have right now.

In all cases these guys were/are committed to replacing that pesky liberty thing with devotion to the collective good, they (the leaders) defining "good" of course. It's a marvelous and seductive demagogue rallying cry, and one that I don't think is overcome by facts.

JFK's "Ask not . . . " was a stupid idea then, and is now, but each and all of us can remember the quote word for word. What we cannot remember is a single fact presented then or since by the loyal opposition to shoot it down.

Clyde

A big effin thanks. Yeah it was kind of hard reading through that book but it was fascinating. All I kept thinking was "we're in trouble". One of those things I felt I had to read.

Dr. Pete

Anyone that thinks the government should use its power to take away power from the people because the people can't think for themselves has some fascism in them. In order to make the people buy into that, they have to use fascism to a degree. The liberals think the government can do things better, but yet hate the government. Gotta love that consistency, eh?
