Comment on: From Jesse 'The Mind' Norman

PUT ON THE EFFIN' GLASSES!

18 Comments

I agree Jesse

that obama is ALL about power and ownership of America. And I do so wish our people who aren't paying attention would indeed "see" him for what he is and what his intentions are. Also agree that we are headed for a dictatorship if we don't wake up, stand up and take our country back. Lots of us are saying this but I think we don't know exactly what to do to make it happen and the wheels are turning ever soooooooooooo slowlyyyyyy.

Godd post Jesse.

Jesse

More and more, it looks for all the world like the Sail Eared Simpleton and his Liberal Acolytes in Congress are trying to push Socialism through before the midterms and they AND Obama are willing to sacrifice his as a one term president to do so.. They KNOW it WILL cost them dearly in the midterms and 2012, but they figure they will ALWAYS have enough votes in Congress to hold the line. Gird up your loins, the fight has commenced.

Jesse

First, welcome back. Second, the Mind is sharper than ever!

To me, the most siginificant sentence in this excellent essay is, "Scandals do not bother him." VERY astute. We all need to remember this! The reason this is so dangerous is because when you are dealing with a personality like this ... person's, one needs to more carefully pick the battles and set the terms for that battle differently. After enough power has been accrued, no ones opinion will matter.

Thanx for the great post, Jesse!!

Very pointed

Did you note the O'Reilly expose on this very topic? Pretty good stuff. I saw that film with Roddy. For a phoney wrestler, he was actually a good action guy. Ya know, socialist pacifism was expressed today by BHO and in the contrast, Cheney gave a sober, reflective, common sense idea about true national defense and implying under the horizon that supporting states like Israel, who stand against Islamofascism. Drop by my two last blogs which support very much your points. Thanks.

Bobbie

Thanks. Us at townhall and other conservatives are looking too much into him as being a socialist. I am guilty in that as well, but after reading that book it's not about socialism to him. Alinsky wrote a book how to build oneself up with allies to gain power, especially being masterful at propoganda. His book could only be used properly by a very select person in a very select time if one was to use it to have power nationally. Chicago has been using his book since, and Alinsky learned much from the Chicago way himself. Securing blocks of voters is the true agenda. What to do with that power Alinsky intended for social justice, but that's an incredibly broad term. Obama is using it for unrelenting power.

That's not what Obama is about. Socialism is the tool to gather things unto himself because that's the easiest way to gather power in a democracy. He's not going to sacrifice anything I fear. He is the most powerful president in US history and he has been in office but a few months. I don't think it will cost them anything. The math just isn't there to support what you say. Has Obama offended enough of the mindless to take down the Obama Machine? Will he? There were many of those tea partiers that voted for Obama, but those were people who paid attention. The rest really do not. What can happen to make them pay attention? Just in the terms of math against their money and acolytes, I don't like our chances. You are right about one thing though, the fight is on.

Mrs. AL

Good to be back and thanks for the compliment. You bring up a point about picking your battles. In the next part to this I am going to get into that. It may be sexy to go after certain things Obama has done, but everything must be done on issues alone. Anything that has nothing to do with actual issues will be what the rest of America hears. The mindless will only hear about non-issue attacks because that's all the mainstream media will show. They will all but ignore real issues that are attacked and it will turn off the ones who barely pay attention to anything outside of Jon and Kate.

Yes I saw it. I was going to wait until I was completely finished with the book, but being about 30 pages away I figured I've read enough to write about it. I also wanted to hurry up before the conservative-friendly outlets hopped on that bandwagon lol. Cheney did everything perfectly in his speech. He called out Obama personally on issues, and nothing else. No matter how he is attacked, he did exactly what needed to be done. We must find someone who is brave enough to sacrifice possible votes to tell the country who Obama really is and attack him personally on issues. Calling Obama out as if it was a wrestler in the opening minutes of Monday Night Raw is exactly the formula to take this thin-skinned Alinskyite down.

I did'nt

see the movie --but your facts are right on. Cheney really told it like it is and the looney left still have their heads in the sand. Keep up the good work Jess.

Pen

Cheney did it exactly the right way. He went after Obama eloquently and without pulling punches for fear of a backlash. He took Obama on personally on actual issues. In the next blog I wrote to use facts and drum them time and time again and leave no way to parce the facts. That way Obama's minions cannot argue against it. Thanks for the compliment.

Masterful!

Very well done, Jesse! So good to see you back here! prezbo is all about power and keeping it. Before the inaugeration, there had been buzz about repealing the 22nd Amendment so he could run forever! Very Chavezesque. The WH even puts out its own coverage/propaganda to get their message directly to the masses w/o the press corps. Also very Chavezesque. The TEA parties were a good start and the people in California saying NO to more spending/taxes. These new sin taxes being bantered about on beer, liquor and soda will affect everyone. There will be a tipping point and it cannot happen soon enough!

Haven`t posted anything new at Cheeky Monkey for a while but will do soon!

dawndawn

Thanks. Good to be back writing. I think I spent my time away fruitfully, especially reading this book. I think all of us should read this book. If you can find a way to read it for free, then that's the way to go. It is more eye opening than I can portray it to be. Looking forward to your next post, as always. Take care.

Jesse

Glad to see you back, old friend. Your Effin' piece was cerebral. It's what I expect from you. Obama is a stealth bomber. He flies above the radar, drops his load, and his hapless victims don't know what struck them. Looking forward to your next offering. This one really ripped the wrapping off Barry and his henchmen, who seem to be daring America to challenge them. I wonder sometimes what century we're in now, and I don't recognize many of our fellow Americans. In turn, they don't recognize us. We have a task before us. God willing, we'll complete it. Verne.

We need the

Glasses for the masses, and lets bomb the bubblegum factory.

Verne

Thanks. I wrote this a while back, but with Bobbie's email where that soldier was talking about how he studied Alinsky's book, I was reminded of writing this first and then the second part of the Alinskyite's blogs. The second one I wrote shows how to beat him. Good to see you stop by, my friend. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

Gar

They're starting to wake up, but I really believe it's too late. It would take a miracle to find a way to not collapse by 2010's election. Even if things went the right way, it would take EinsteinX10 to figure out how to pay the debt back.

Jesse,

I hope you are feeling better on this Thanksgiving. The facts on this horrid Admin. is more like Victor David Hanson's latest on , You ain't seen nothing yet. Obama is killing America domestically and internationally. This Climategate scandal is huge but the PC media will not cover it. Drop by my latest on PC stuff. Blessings.

FinalRac

The Climategate scandal is huge, but it's going to take time for it to grow. Politicians need to do their job in bringing more light to this as well, which has started with Inhoffe. This post was the first part of the blogs I wrote after reading Alinsky's book. The next one I wrote I spoke of how to beat him. Thanks for the best wishes. Will be stopping by.
