    Occupy DC Protesters Call for Re-election of Obama and for Government to Use Force to Impose Their Ideas

    Gee, I don’t know who are the bigger Wall Street tools here, Obama or these Alinsky-like LEFT protesters.

    The ignorance displayed in these interviews knows no bounds. The protesters just don’t get it. They are calling for the government to use force to impose their ideas, all in the name of bringing down corporations who they don’t realize have completely bought off government regulators. Corporations and government enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship – getting one to regulate the other is asinine and only hurts smaller businesses who are legitimately trying to compete in a free market economy that barely exists.

    The zeal for totalitarian government amongst some of the “protesters” is shocking. One sign being carried around read, “A government is an entity which holds the monopolistic right to initiate force,” which seems a little ironic when protesters complain about being physically assaulted by police in the same breath.

    One woman interviewed by Kokesh also announces her intention to help Obama to capture a second term. How can a self-proclaimed Occupy Wall Street protester simultaneously support the man whose 2008 campaign was bankrolled by Wall Street, whose 2012 campaign is reliant on Wall Street to an even greater extent, and whose cabinet was filled with Wall Street operatives?

    Watch the video and weep.

    Over educated and unemployed, eh?

    I can see why they are unemployed……

    President 2012: Obama Mocks Rick Perry and Florida GOP Debate Audience

    President Barack Obama stops to greet people on the tarmac during his arrival at Moffett Airfield, near San Jose, Calif., Sunday, Sept., 25, 2011

    President Obama mocks while America burns.

    President Obama broadened his attack on Republicans Sunday night, firing an indirect shot at Texas Gov. Rick Perry and condemning audience members at recent Republican debates.

    At a fundraiser in San Jose, Calif., Obama said that some in the audience might be former Republicans “but are puzzled by what’s happening to that party,” and voters should back him if they believe in a “fact-based” America.

    “I mean has anybody been watching the debates lately?” Obama said. “You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change.

    “It’s true. You’ve got audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don’t have healthcare. And booing a service member in Iraq because they’re gay.”

    The remarks represent some of the most direct and combative for Obama so far as he has struck out on the campaign trail in earnest following the July debt-ceiling debate and the August break.

    Obama continued his critique of Republicans, saying of the boos in the audience at recent GOP debates: “That’s not reflective of who we are.”

    “This is a choice about the fundamental direction of our country,” the president said. “2008 was an important direction. 2012 is a more important election.”

    President Obama is campaigning directly out of the Saul Alinsky playbook: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

    He is creating divisions and being combative. Such a shocker = NOT.

    I suppose Obama might as well MOCK because it is the only strategy he has because his record as President SUCKS and even the LEFT knows it.

    Good luck at that fundraiser in Los Angeles today, Mr. President, when you tie up all of the roadways so you can socialize at the House of Blues with Hollywood celebrities.

    Video: Union Leaders Teach Advanced Thug Tactics in University of Missouri Labor Courses

    If you ever wondered if today’s LEFTIST union leaders ever read Saul Alinsky, now you know.

    The University of Missouri has an expansive $1.9 billion enterprise with an operating budget of $500 million which, according to its website, 37%  comes through state appropriations. While the University’s Institute of Labor Studies may only be a small fraction of its budget, one must wonder why tax dollars are being used to fund a program that espouses Communism, teaches tactics in industrial sabotage (including stalking CEOs, using members to insinuate sabotage, as well as the killing of cats), and convincing union members that their “group goals” are more important than their individual goals.

    The videos you are about to see [via BigGovernment] are of two “educators” holding courses via video conference through the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) and the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). The courses are an Introduction to Labor Studies and Labor Politics and Society.  The instructors are Judy Ancel, Director of UMKC’s Institute of Labor Studies and Don Giljum, a self-described Communist and Business Manager of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 148.

    Watch the videos and understand why companies like Boeing Corporation are moving their manufacturing facilities to Right to Work states.

    Video #2:

    After watching both videos, do you now understand the Wisconsin public employee protests at the State Capitol and the various intimidation tactics used against Governor Scott Walker and GOP legislators?

    Exit question: In light of this knowledge, of how the unions create chaos as a bargaining tactic, do Americans really want public employee unions collectively bargaining with the government?

    Day By Day by Chris Muir May 17, 2009 – Bitch, Yet Still Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals

    day by day 051709

    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    The LEFT is attempting to marginalize their opposition using the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals. Look at some of the rules and apply them to modern day situations in the media and blogosphere.

    Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process.  But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.

    RULE 1: “Power is not only what I have, but what the enemy thinks I have.”  Power is derived from two main sources — money and people.   “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

    (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply.  Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

    RULE 2: “I never go outside the expertise of ‘my people’.”  It results in confusion, fear and retreat.  Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
     
    (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues.  This is why.  They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

    RULE 3: “Whenever possible, I go outside the expertise of the enemy.”  I look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

    (This happens all the time.  Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

    RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”  If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, I send 30,000 letters.  I can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

    (This is a serious rule.  The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

    RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”  There is no defense.  It’s irrational.  It’s infuriating.  It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

    (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh?  He wants to create anger and fear.)

    RULE 6: “A good tactic is one ‘my people’ enjoy.”  They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more.  They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

    (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different than any other human being.  We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)

    RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”  Don’t let it become old news.
     
    (Even radical activists get bored.  So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

    RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”  I keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance.  As the opposition masters one approach, I hit them from the flank with something new.

    (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

    RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”  Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
     
    (Perception is reality.  Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds.  The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions.  The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

    RULE 10: “If I push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”  Violence from the other side can win the public to my side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

    (Unions used this tactic.  Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)

    RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”  I never let the enemy score points because I’d be caught without a solution to the problem.

    (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.  Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power.  So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

    RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”  I cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.  I go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

    (This is cruel, but very effective.  Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

    According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting.  “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”

    Do we see some interesting examples in our every day lives with the media LEFT, President Obama and the Congressional Democrats?

    How about Keith Olbermann and the daily “Worst Person in the World Award?”

    The Democrats demonizing first Karl rove, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele, then Dick Cheney, etc. etc.. A designated RIGHT hater of the week, so to speak.

    Kind of falls into a strategy, don’t you think?

    Now, how will the RIGHT fight back with a winning playbook of its own?
