Saul Alinsky Lives in Ferguson

Saul_Alinsky_27If the late Saul Alinsky—the America-hating godfather of community organizing—had fathered a black son, he’d look like Barack Obama.[1]  Obama has embraced, revered, and employed Alinsky’s philosophy and tactics of social revolution for decades. Indeed, he even taught Alinsky’s methods in community-organizing workshops and seminars in Chicago, when he was a much younger Marxist. As we witness the continuing racial unrest sparked by the shooting of Michael Brown and the Ferguson grand jury’s subsequent decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, it is vital to understand that everything the protesters/rioters are doing—in Ferguson and elsewhere—is straight out of Alinsky’s most famous publications, Rules For Radicals and Reveille For Radicals. And Obama has encouraged them, every step of the way.

Obama and Alinsky never actually met in person, as Alinsky died when Obama was just 11 years old. Happily for the future president, by that time he had already been introduced to the man who would mentor him throughout his adolescent years—the America-hating, pro-Soviet, pro-Stalin, Communist writer Frank Marshall Davis. Thus, when Obama eventually encountered Alinsky through the latter’s writings, the young community organizer was well prepared ideologically to soak up Alinsky’s message.

In his quest to cultivate the type of chaos that would spark social revolution against America’s capitalist system, Alinsky exhorted activists to constantly “rub raw the resentments of the people” and “fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression”—but to do this in measured tones, so as not to “scare off” middle-class Americans.

Thus did Obama dutifully and blandly call for “unity” and calm in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown’s “heartbreaking and tragic” death, even as he repeatedly reminded us that: “police should not be bullying or arresting” anyone without cause; “in too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and left as objects to fear”; “there is no excuse for excessive force by police”; “the justice gap” between whites and nonwhites is unacceptable; “the criminal-justice system doesn’t treat people of all races equally”; and “too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black, or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.” And when the grand jury in Ferguson subsequently chose not to indict Darren Wilson because the officer obviously had shot Michael Brown in self-defense, Obama pronounced the black community’s indignation to be “an understandable reaction.”

Obama’s carefully chosen words—all delivered in the type of nonthreatening tenor advocated by Saul Alinsky—clearly communicated a single, foundational theme to African Americans: In the racist cesspool known as the United States, black people are routinely treated like second-class citizens, if not subhumans. Oh, and by the way, please remain calm. Wink, wink.

Alinsky also taught that in some cases activists must be completely willing—for the sake of the moral principles in whose name they profess to act—to turn up the proverbial heat and watch society descend into chaos and anarchy; to “go into a state of complete confusion and draw [their] opponent into the vortex of the same confusion.” “Wherever possible,” Alinsky counseled, “go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”

Mobs of shouting protesters can accomplish that objective quite effectively—even if, as in the present case, they are oblivious to the irony that the poster-child of their crusade is a multiple felon who tried unsuccessfully to murder a police officer. Such demonstrations tend to give onlookers the impression that a mass movement is not only well underway, but may actually be preparing to shift into an even higher gear at any moment. A “mass impression,” said Alinsky, can be lasting and intimidating. Thus did President Obama recently meet at the White House with Al Sharpton, his leading advisor on race-related matters, and other protest leaders from Ferguson, urging them to “stay on course” with their activism.

Yet another highly noteworthy observation by Alinsky was this: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.” “The threat,” he explained, “is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Thus, “if your organization is small in numbers,… raise a din and clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more than it does.”

This can be well achieved by orchestrating a host of simultaneous demonstrations in multiple cities or venues, exactly as the highly organized Gentle Giant crusade has been doing. The stature of these rallies is magnified by the fact that they receive lots of media attention, while scores of millions of ordinary Americans who view them with contempt and dread are busy quietly going about their lives, caring for their families, working at their jobs, and pursuing their personal aspirations as they see fit. Such people are many thousands of times more numerous than the perpetually aggrieved rabble-rousers of the Left, but Alinsky understood—as Obama understands today—that a spraying skunk inevitably gets all the attention when it intrudes unexpectedly upon a picnic.

The America-hating Alinsky also taught that activists, in order to cast themselves as defenders of high-minded principles, must theatrically convey “shock, horror, and moral outrage” whenever any of their demands—however inconsequential—are not met. And no one conveys such emotions more convincingly than Obama’s aforementioned racial “advisor,” Al Sharpton, who vows to continue the Michael Brown/anti-police brutality crusade until the end of time if necessary. Alinsky understood quite well that even a pathetic moral degenerate like Sharpton can be an effective revolutionary if he is skilled in the otherwise worthless arts of bluster and righteous indignation.

Lest anyone think there might be a way to bridge the gap between civil society and the revolutionaries in the vanguard of the current Gentle Giant Brigades, a dose of reality is in order: Alinsky emphasized that the overarching objective of any crusade is never to promote peace or reconciliation, but rather to be unwaveringly “dedicated to an eternal war” in which “there are no rules of fair play” and “no compromise” whatsoever; to mercilessly “pulverize” people with “fear”; and ultimately to “force their capitulation.”

We got a glimpse of this mindset recently when we learned that two New Black Panther Party members were plotting not only to blow up St. Louis’s famed Gateway Arch, but also to assassinate Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson and the city’s prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch. And a shrieking Louis Farrakhan, for his part, has been busy urging black Americans to throw Molotov cocktails at white people in order to fulfill a scriptural “law of retaliation”; condemning whites for allegedly “killing us” in large numbers; and warning that “we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”

Like all Marxists, Obama, Sharpton, Farrakhan, and the rest of their fellow revolutionaries seek to tear society apart by pitting the “races,” the “classes,” and the “genders” against one another—“rubbing raw” their respective “resentments” until hatred abounds in every person’s heart and mayhem fills the streets. Michael Brown’s corpse is merely a building block for these rabble rousers. They know that someday another African American will be killed by a white police officer and thus be anointed as their movement’s next martyred saint. Bit by bit, the inconvenient fact that Brown was a violent, abusive criminal whose death was brought about entirely by his own actions will be airbrushed out of public memory. And the grievance mongers of the “civil rights” movement will wistfully remember him as just another innocent black victim whose life was tragically cut short by white depravity.

Saul Alinsky would be proud.

NOTE:
[1] In March 2012, not long after the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, President Obama famously said: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”

    As the current heir to and practitioner of Alinsky’s philosophy of “revolutionary” tactics, Obama is certainly of that Marxist cloth. And while he never met Alinsky, Hillary Clinton certainly did, and made him and his community-organizing tactics the subject of her 1969, 91-page Wellesley College senior thesis, “‘There is only the fight…’ An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” Every page of it reveals a loving and approving elucidation of the tactics described by Mr. Perazzo above.

    This makes Hillary potentially more dangerous than Obama should she ever reach the White House, for she (or her advisers) are more subtle in the insinuation of Alinsky tactics than is Obama, although Obama has had some expert counsel in the persons of Bill Ayers and David Axelrod in the matter of “pitting the “races,” the “classes,” and the “genders” against one
    another—“rubbing raw” their respective “resentments” until hatred
    abounds in every person’s heart and mayhem fills the streets, as Mr. Perazzo put it, which is simply gang warfare writ large across American society, with every man’s hand against another in the chaos of anarchy. And it’s all about power-lusters climbing a mountain of bodies in pursuit of political and economic power.

      Hillary just killed any chance of her being a Presidential candidate when she decided to cuddle up to those folks slaughtering Christians around the world. She wants us to “understand” these people and cuddle up to them. Her speech yesterday will be the campaign video of the CENTURY and she will not be able to run from it. Add that to her “what difference does it make” and what you have a just a BIMBO CZAR as a candidate.

    Obama’s recent words re he is “fully invested”. What he omitted is what he & his comrades are truly invested in. Many are aware of his manipulative words. Too many still react to the Siren’s Song. There was never any intent to ‘help’ specific groups. Only use them for a sinister Agenda. Concern should be with those people who refuse to see the Lie. Certain it will come too late for most.

      what about Kathy Boudin, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, etc.? Please look into their history! They called themselves the Weather Underground in the 60′s when they were killing, seriously injuring, and bombing people and places. They were spoiled rich kids that thought it would be”noble” and “romantic” to start riots for basically other people that weren’t even aware of them. They caused a lot of misery and harm to many people, buildings, institutions, etc. They should all be in jail but their rich parents got them off any major charges. Kathy Boudin’s father was an attorney that represented the Cuban government and other numerous “organizations”. Kathy Boudin was involved in the Brinks robbery. These same people are now actively going to schools and prisons everywhere in the United States and are “training and observing” teachers and prison guards, etc. These same people talked to Obama before he ran for president and they supported him. The press questioned their relationship but they denied knowing each other even though they lived in the same Chicago neighborhood. If they weren’t doing anything wrong, why would they deny that they knew each other? Look all these people up for yourself. You will be able to see why the 60′s were/are so important to Obama, and you will see how these same people are responsible for what is happening right now with the rioting! Educate yourself so we can fight them! They are trying to destroy us!

    There is plenty of good coming out of these riots. The amazing police officers are bringing in huge amounts of overtime money and Christmas will be great this year.

  • Jolene Turner

    How did this nation go from hating the communist manifesto to electing a marxist, progressive leftist such as Barrack Hussein Obama? Did the masses of American voters just wake up one day and say ” I think it is time that we surrender to Big Government.” No, it just kind of snuck up on us one small thing at a time. We have been duped into giving up our freedoms for what has been perceived as safety but in reality is not. Yes, we have a fifth column working to bring about a bloodless revolution to America, but have they become impatient with the results and decided to up the ante by bringing about a race war? Entirely possible when you see the violence that is springing up in such disparate places as Ferguson, Missouri and New York, City, New York.

    • flash287

      The timing of the Ferguson grand Jury verdict was planned if the Democrats lost the senate. This ” Michael Brown” thing was the planned catalyst. If not Brown it would have been any number of take downs or killings that happen daily around the country. The protests are the smoke screen hiding Obama Amnesty, EPA insanity and Obama care outrage.
      Communism can not survive as long as out constitution remains intact.
      No doubt that socialist Democrats want to destroy the US Constitution so they can “Help the people” after America collapses. Then COMRADE, as long as you join the party you can enjoy great perks and job security. And if non party members complain, they will cut off your Soylent Green wafer (EBT).
      Communist governments never get voted out of office. Can only be done by Revolution. When government controls social media there can never be a revolt. I believe it’s all part of the coming plan.

      • Well Done

        I’ve been suspicious of this sudden noise and clatter about Brown, and now Garner. Neither of these incidents is unusual. Both involve direct attacks on police and refusal to obey even the simplest instructions. They have happened before. Astounding how many people there are willing to be led around by spiteful, underhanded agitators. Unbelievable that such agitators would be President, and another Attorney General. It seems unlikely this will be undone by merely having an election.

        • DaveGinOly

          If you go to the right sources, you can see that these things are done by black cops to white men, and by white cops to white men. If there’s a problem with cops, it’s not a race problem.

      • malinse

        Very true. These people are always scheming. Their father, the Devil has them seduced to think they are doing something good for the poor. I know I was a sixties-seventies liberal and know how they think. There are forces at work behind the scenes at Ferguson as there was at Kent State that led to the killing of the four students that most people don’t know about. Large amounts of resources including money is at work to bring about these disturbances from well-organized and well-armed people in high places. That’s why Obama and Holder always have that smirk on there faces.

      I don’t know what you mean by “made scene” but he lived from 1909 to 1972, well within the period of forced integration and the Civil Rights Act. Rules for Radicals was published in 1971. The beginning of the destruction of blacks and any hope of true integration with whites occurred in 1964 with the War on Poverty (which destroyed the black work ethic and with it, the respect and comity of whites.)

      • Bordeaux11611

        There have been so many books about revolution, starting your own revolution, anarchy, radicals etc,. so it is kind of hard to tell EXACTLY which one somebody is actually talking about! Bill Ayers books almost all sound the same.

  • Cappy1437

    This is the reason that the Obama Library needs to be put in Benghazi and the Obama people all move over there and they can be the docents. Obama can come out of the closet and be the real Muslim that he is and Michelle, thank you God, can don the whole burka or whatever it is called covering all of herself with only slits for eyes. That will be doing everyone a favor. Obama and his adopted son Bowe Bergdahl can dance together in one of the rooms, I forget what the term is called but I did read about it, entertaining perverted Muslims. This is all coming together beautifully. Only two more years. Amen.

      Are you sure ONLY two more years?

      Garner may well have known he himself was mere cannon fodder. Why would a man so overweight, with a list of health problems ALL related to poor diet and lack of activity, get physical with police? Maybe he had no choice?

      • http://www.apollospeaks.com/ ApolloSpeaks

        Garner chose the life of crime which is why he was being arrested by those whose job it is to take criminals off the street.

        • DaveGinOly

          Garner’s death can actually be laid at the doorstep of the progressives who run NYC. If it weren’t for their voracious appetite for tax revenue, there wouldn’t be a market for “loosies” and maybe Garner would be alive today. The progressives claim to hate/distrust the police, but they’re not above using them as tools to help them build their socialist utopia. (Note that progressives are also against private firearms ownership, but don’t have a problem with what that would result in – allegedly “racist” and “out-of-control” cops having a monopoly on lethal force. Why does this not bother them? Because they presume they’ll be the ones controlling that lethal force, and that makes it OK by them.)

          • http://www.apollospeaks.com/ ApolloSpeaks

            Of course. The cigarette tax is the overarching reason for his death. In fact, several weeks before the Garner incident Comrade Bill issued a directive to police giving high priority to cracking down on the underground cig trade. Now the coward is running away from it and scapegoating police as white racist killers putting his biracial son at risk. Pathetic.

        The Bible forbids praying to anyone but God. That is a tradition of man. And Jesus rebuked the Scribes and Pharisees for trying that on Him. You started out right; America needs to repent, and be purged from its sins, but Christians need to start, so they can be used of God. Before the battle of Jericho God told Joshua to have the children of Israel circumcised, because they had stopped the practice while they were in the wilderness. It’s the same today; before we can be used of God we must have our hearts right with Him.

        5″The
        LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers
        possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and
        multiply you more than your fathers. 6″Moreover
        the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your
        descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all
        your soul, so that you may live.” Deuteronomy 30:5-6.
        “16but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?…” 1Peter 4:16-18

        • Dan Knight

          “The Bible doesn’t say to pray to anyone but God and His son Jesus. That
          is a tradition of man. And Jesus rebuked the Scribes and Pharisees for
          trying that on Him.”

          For the record that’s not an accurate statement. “Praying to Jesus Alone” is a tradition of man. You are imposing your interpretation of Scripture on Scripture. You are defining the word “Pray” to mean “question, request, plea, or speak, ALWAYS AND ONLY TO A DEITY” when the word means merely “question, request, plea, or speak.”

          For example, ‘Pray tell me where you got this idea?’

          The word wasn’t even confined to the supernatural until the Left got hold of it and redefined it to remove God from the schools.

          One needs to be careful not to twist the Word to mean what some dead man wanted it to mean.

          It should be pointed out that the dead men who gave you this idea rejected the authority of the dead men who gave you the Bible. The latter were inspired by the Holy Spirit and appointed to their office by the hand of the Apostles. The former were inspired by their desire to be free of the Church, and they used the failings of Churchmen to justify their own errors. As if embezzling alms justifies changing Scripture.

          Go back and read the Bible with an open heart, and listen to the Holy Spirit, and you will discover a whole new world without the blinders of men.

          ” And
          when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the
          twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and
          with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” Rev 5:8

    In the early 70′s I finished my tour with the Peace Corps and worked in a CAP Agency in southern Ohio. The director recently graduated from theology school and wanted to “get where the action is.”

    He was a decent enough guy and had all the Hollywood trimmings of a rich kid in his mid 20′s who had big plans for himself and was just getting a little street cred slumming in rural substrate of the Office of Economic Opportunity before setting off for a real career in DC.

    He lent me his copy of Reveille For Radicals and I tried to read Alinsky’s words and soon realized that his words must only jump off the page for guys like him…and worse than him. I returned the book to him after a suitable period that implied that I carefully studied it, which I did not. I nodded in agreement with his enthusiasm of “working within the system” for social change a big catch phrase in those heady days.

    A few years later I called his parents home to get in touch with him. Then I understood what drove him away from his family business in central Indiana. His dad was superior, overbearing, and obnoxious likened to the pompous remnants of low level royalty we see repeatedly in popular British crime series. He would not give me his son’s contact info but would pass mine on to him.

    Yes, now I understood why he was so disaffected, he was using Alinsky to get back at his dad…

    About two years later, I was in DC for a few weeks and just happened to run into him. Later we hooked up at a low end Georgetown bar where I suspected he would not be seen by his DC contemporaries. After a few reminisces, he turned to me and asked “So what are people thinking out there these days?” (meaning outside the beltway). It didn’t take but a few seconds to realize he was his dad all over again, not sure about any ongoing commitment to Alinsky.
    But, Alinsky is like Marxism, there is always a new crop of useful fools to carry on…

    The liberal narratives about Ferguson are all false. It is one big hoax. Yet, despite all the evidence to the contrary, far too many people believe propaganda over truth.

    I hope everybody is also aware of Hillary Clinton’s relationship with Saul Alinsky and are not deceived with her many disguises; such as her latest country music, good-ol girl routine. Hilary’s “education” is just as radical, if not more polished, as Obama’s. She was a member of the Republican Club in high school, but like Obama met a “minister” who got her involved with community organizing in Chicago, where she actually met Saul Alinsky. Her college papers are very telling; such as; “It takes a village”, from Wellesly. Do not be taken in by her many make-overs designed to soften her look, she is a snake.

    These are the tactics of the radical left and their enablers in the media who have high jacked journalism. And where Obama and Hillary Clinton are from. At Kent State University 68-69, the media never reported the activities of the likes of Bernardine Dohrn and others, who for two years prior to the National Guard shooting, had been active at Kent state, and other Colleges, such as Yale, by infiltration of their radical groups, planning to use violence to get their agenda out.

    There simply cannot be a multiracial nation. There can’t even be a multiracial collection of populations. Not when one of those populations, blacks, are both an unconscionable drag on the other populations and a great physical danger to them. The nation, such as it is, will implode. After that there will either be the imposition of a brutal form of feudalism, or, hopefully, mass internal migrations, some forced some voluntarily, at the end of which there will be a white nation and likely more than one black/brown/yellow nation.

      America has always been multi-racial. In fact millions of whites left Europe because of the brutal treatment of whites by whites in Europe. Note over 2 million Black Americans volunteered to end that brutality during WWII.

        More afro-centric babble from the Farrakhan Reader.
        White Americans were more than able to resist Germany and Japan with or without black Americans.
        In fact, white Russians and white British did way more to help the US than any black Americans.
        How do you guys think you would have done under the AfrikaCorps or with the Japanese medical experimenters?

        • MrUniteUs1

          20 millions whites killed whites during WWII.

          No question the war would have gone longer without the help of the Tuskegee Airman, the Red Ball Express, the 761st tank battalion and many other, Black Americans.
          Black Americans have answered the call to fight in every war for our country dating back to the 1700′s. My great great grandfather fought in the Civil War, my 3 uncles served during and WWII, and my father served in Korea. What about your family Daniel?

            Many vets….most recently Desert Storm 1.
            And that’s great about your relatives……God bless them.
            But you bring that afro-centric stuff in here……..you’re gonna hear it from me.
            And you didn’t answer my last question.

          • MrUniteUs1

            I served in the Merchant Marine and helped deliver munitions during Desert Storm. Strange that the mere mention of the fact that Black Americans served during WWII made you angry.

        Blacks were freed from the plantations in the middle 1800s, only to be seduced back onto the socialist ‘plantation’ in the middle of the 1900s. The blacks who fought in WWII were of a different breed than today. Of course, that’s not an absolute statement. There are some blacks who have grown up in traditional families, and received the discipline and guidance all children need, much like those who grew up between plantations, and whites gladly accept them as fellow citizens. But those who riot at the drop of a hat, who live on handouts from Uncle Sam, who believe they should be exempt from the law, are looked upon with contempt.

    President Obama on Ferguson decision: ‘Keep protests peaceful’
    Excerpt.

    What is your message to the people of Ferguson and others who are looking to protest?

    OBAMA: Well I think, first and foremost, keep protests peaceful. You know, this is a country that allows everybody to express their views. Allows them to peacefully assemble to protest actions that they think are unjust but using any event as an excuse for violence is contrary to rule of law and contrary to who we are.

    The real problem is that some people have trouble handling the responsibility
    that comes with authority.

    “The Stanford prison experiment (SPE) was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. The experiment was conducted at Stanford University from August 14–20, 1971, by a team of researchers led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo.[1] It was funded by the US Office of Naval Research[2] and was of interest to both the US Navy and Marine Corps as an investigation into the causes of conflict between military guards and prisoners.

    Twenty-four male students out of seventy-five were selected to take on randomly assigned roles of prisoners and guards in a mock prison situated in the basement of the Stanford psychology building. The participants adapted to their roles well beyond Zimbardo’s expectations, as the guards enforced authoritarian measures and ultimately subjected some of the prisoners to psychological torture. Many of the prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse, and, at the request of the guards, readily harassed other prisoners who attempted to prevent it. The experiment even affected Zimbardo himself, who, in his role as the superintendent, permitted the abuse to continue. Two of the prisoners quit the experiment early, and the entire experiment was abruptly stopped after only six days. Certain portions of the experiment were filmed, and excerpts of footage are publicly available.’

    I remember once tying a cable to a young tree and being fascinated a few short years later to see how the tree had literally “swallowed” part of that cable as it grew around it and over it. America is a bit like trees overcoming irritants and cancers that would bring it down. It has become increasingly clear that in the back of Obama’s mind he has some outrageous and lunatic ideas of “taking over” by 2016 and a black vs white war with subsequent martial law might have been one of his schemes. Alinsky-schminsky might work in a third world country but it won’t work in America. I read comments from former lefty-liberals who have awakened and come to their senses and got his number. They recognize him for the Marxist-racist-Islamist fake that he is. Even a good percentage of blacks that he would like to call “his people,” are on to him. Granted he picked on an effective issue and happenstance helped him – the death of Eric Garner and the failure of the grand jury to indict the police officers is an outrage and plays right into Obama’s hands but it won’t win him his battle. He has made enemies in every camp in America and in every other country of the world. He will live out his life in frustration because he will need guards for the rest of his life. I wish I had a dollar for every individual who wants to see him dead. But America, like a huge tree will survive Obama in spite of the fact that he has set race relations back by 50 years. Some good will come out of it. It will lead to the end of Affirmative action and related lunacies.

    • Daniel

      The number of lefty lunatics who have come to their senses is a small one indeed. I believe most of them are permanently deranged and have no prospect for redemption.
      I also do not share your blind faith in American exceptionalism.
      However…….if Americans will come back to their Christian heritage and provide a hospitable environment for Jewish people………maybe it will be possible to re-establish a covenant.
      I propose that all moral men rally around the Cross of St. George and the Star of David………and with our firepower, we will prevail.

  • Daniel

    I would like to recommend to all FrontPage readers a novel called, “The Possessed” by Dostoevsky. In some translations it’s titled “Demons”.
    Dostoevsky wrote this novel in 1871 as a reaction to the rising tide of Russian Nihilist philosophy that was sweeping the country and which in one generation produced the Communist Bolsheviks of Lenin and Stalin.
    Alinsky is a product of the Far Left which has its roots in Communism and Russian Nihilism. These revolutionaries have always declared that the goal of their movement was the destruction of the existing social order so that it could be replaced by a utopian, atheistic collectivism.
    In Dostoevsky’s novel, one of the key scenes is the burning of the Shpigulin shipyard by Nihilist arsonists as an organized protest. The shipyard fire spreads over to a local neighborhood and houses catch fire as well.
    As the “progressive” aristocrats marvel at the fire and comment on it………the governor of the province(who is a conservative traditionalist) declares:
    “The fire is not on the rooftops………but in men’s minds.”
    Ferguson is not really about a fire at a car dealership or convenience store. It’s about the self-destructive, suicidal fire that burns at the core of modern Leftism.

    all the blabber is so FACT FREE is because it is really a MOBILIZATION MYTH – you know, like Allied newspapers reporting that German soldiers were bayonetting Belgian Babies and eating them. Or that little piece on 60 minutes about Iraqi soldiers throwing babies on the floor – a total fabrication.
    Facts are less important than mobilization, and that is what all this is about.

    True enough as far it goes: Better yet, get out and vote in the primaries and primary out the Democrat-lite candidates selected by the MSM before the final choice comes down to a Hate-America Leftie vs a Don’t-Hate-America Leftie.

    I spent months trying to encourage people to vote for the Least Leftie candidate, and one-by-one they were taken out. Finally, we had to argue that Mittens would be better because anything would be better.

    Here in my county in Texas, that was effective and most conservatives voted. Two arguments were effective:

    Do it for our troops! We have a large military community and many of the Unionists and old-school Dem’s crossed the line in our county to protect their kids in the military.

    The other was the Magic 8 Ball argument: Even a Magic 8 Ball would be better than Bam Bam. I got quite a few old ladies to agree to support Mittens on that basis.

    But again, I’m not sure how common my experience is. Here in my community, even our Gay guys pack heat, drive pickups, go to church, and hate taxes: Making them more conservative than RINO’s on the Left Coasts. All of the ones I know voted for Mittens too! I told them they could turn in their pink slips to the Gay Mafia …

    “And a shrieking Louis Farrakhan, for his part, has been busy urging black Americans to throw Molotov cocktails at white people in order to fulfill a scriptural “law of retaliation”; condemning whites for allegedly “killing us” in large numbers; and warning that “we’ll tear this goddamn country up!””

    Life in America is so rough for Farrakhan.

    But he’d still rather live here among all the hate than return to his native Caribbean paradise.
