Feel free to go out and do good for as many as you like. Just do it the honorable way. on your own dime.

The rest of us don't want to live in a society that has poor houses and orphanages and disabled people begging in the streets and old people eating dog food. So we don't really give a crap about what you think is "honorable." We want to have a society that deals with those issues.

Tough for you, I guess.

I agree, I sure do not want him speaking to my kids.

I want my kids to listen to someone who has actually accomplished something for America and not for himself and his agenda.

My kids wont be listening to the moron, there is nothing he has to say that is worth the waste of their time.

Now, getting back on topic, Obama is following the Saul Alinksy handbook and the left wing loons have no answer to that?

The left wingers here are Chirp chirping all of a sudden.

What??? no defense of the ObamaScare man?

Wrong again Sunny. I DID have an answer to the idea of Obama following the Alinksy handbook. My answer was, and is, that I wish he would. I think Saul Alinksy was a good and honorable man who helped many and harmed none. I wish that ANY politician could say that. So, there is your answer from the left.

Amazing that incarcerated blacks choose Islam over Marxism.

Not really, I guess.

One is left and one is right.

Don't know which one depends most on force to bring about "good".

Default Obama and the Alinsky model

Quote:
In the Alinsky model, "organizing" is a euphemism for "revolution" -- a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America's social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted -- a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo's complete collapse -- to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal "changes" are needed.

Obama and his radical army are following this model to the "T"

We are in deep "doo doo", America. Obama said, just prior to winning the election "We are just five days away from 'fundamentally changing' America".

I think this administration is too inept to pull this off. We, those who love our country and our freedom, became wise too quickly, and I believe they weren't expecting this. Now they must create a crisis situation to further their agenda. But whatever it may be, the American people will believe it was wholly created or manipulated by the white house. It's sad to say, they aren't trust worthy. But Obama did that himself with the people he hired, and the destruction he's caused among the American people through his words and deeds. The name calling from his administration to people who disagree with him, that was the silliest and most non professional thing he could have done. The cop situation where he rushed to judgment, that said a lot about who he is as a person. I would say more but my arthritis is acting up

I definitely see the Internet playing a decisive roll in resisting this attempt to overthrow our constitutional form of governance. People are generally better informed because of it, and that makes pulling the wool over our eyes more difficult in the long run. It would seem the Rockefeller bill is a center piece of their long-term strategy.

If anyone in this world will stand up and defend against this, it will be the American people. We will not stand for this. At least I know I won't.
