Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” are exercised against me every day. I come home all beat up, forced to get hit again and again. Why do I have to put up with it when I was taught not to play with thugs dedicated to Lucifer as Alinsky proudly “honored” his Rules? We suffer vilifying in the endless stump speeches of an insincere President who acts like the beast of this false prophet Alinsky. It has produced an out of control bureaucracy, a complicit and lazy media, and an ill-informed people; I have to get hammered with this nonsense instead of having a serious discussion based on truth and the beauty of our great country.
Where Alinsky and his disciples refer to the enemy, they are referring to you and me! As Luciferian weapons of spiritual warfare, diversity, political correctness, lying, and mockery are at the front line. If you follow the news every day, you will see these tactics expertly applied against “the enemy” (you and me) in employment, business, education, and everyday life. Surely we must expect something better in our blessed Constitutional Republic! Alinsky states:
1. Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the expertise of your people.
3. Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
“It’s an ill bird that fouls its own nest.” The thoughtful reader need not delve too deep to see the rules are effectively designed as a means of deception and to reduce the opponent (you, me, and our elected representatives or candidates) to ineffectiveness by lies and character assassination. Sadly, these rules are the core of the “progressive” movement modulated in political correctness and diversity defined as class and racial warfare. These coupled with an intrinsically evil monetary system that extracts tribute from those who create its value have been applied by too many people and institutions that ought to know better.
When you hear “diversity” from the seared conscience of the “progressive,” that means racial, ethnic, and even sexual preference… a far cry from the infinite range of gifts and talents of any people. Consider the Declaration of Independence; “… endowed by our Creator…” True diversity is found in that endowment – the endless possibilities found when people can communicate and work together. The USA made it big because it added the rare element – opportunity!
When we wake up and realize the nature of this battle between what Pope Benedict correctly calls “the Culture of Death” vs. “the Culture of Life,” perhaps we’ll begin to use or own far more formidable weapons to defeat “the accuser of the brethren.” I’m tired of playing in Saul Alinsky’s back yard with his thugs and by his rules.
There is a perfect and ordered antidote for the poison of “progressivism” that is leading us to a one world government under fascism or Sharia. Both are two-class societies that define a “Culture of Death.” The order of priority is critical in our thinking and creative processes. Human discourse and creative activity can best be found in nine points our Founding Fathers must have had more than an inkling of. There is great hope to develop a middle class with its infinite opportunities to rise above one’s station in life – to succeed – to fail – to try again. I like to call it “The Fountain of Opportunity and Prosperity.”
1. Beauty – Endowment by our Creator – Highest level of human discourse; spiritual, structural, and personal beauty, art, music, and literature – The Declaration of Independence
2. Ethics – Define Moral, Ethical, and Political Boundaries – The Constitution of the United States.
3. Logic – Defend Beauty – Define Logic from Multiple Inferences – The Bill of Rights
4. Subsidiarity – Self Reliance; Levels of Help when needed include strict Time and Involvement, Limits on Government
5. Solidarity – One Nation under God, love of country, appreciation of natural beauty, community and resources and their care.
6. Chaos – Unexpected Opportunities Presented – spontaneously exploiting opportunities to meet others, invent, create, and serve.
7. High Touch – Key Component in Design, Construction, and Maintenance; Music, Art, and Literature.
8. High Tech – The Whole Process of Discovery and Development – “Subdue the earth, be fruitful and multiply…” Be so much in awe that stewardship is natural, not forced.
9. High Finance – The Enabling Servant of all the above. Money spent – not loaned – into existence per the Founders’ intent – each dollar circulating 9 times in the economy – “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” – Those whose wealth in money or talent is willingly shared with the helpless or an aspiring talent.
This priority list didn’t come out of thin air, but in the timeless human pursuit for meaning and accomplishment in life. America’s greatest Philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce, saw a proper ordering of the normative sciences of Philosophy as: Beauty, Ethics, and Logic (BEL). In the “progressive world, Beauty is in the sewer of debt and depravity instead of being the top priority. Logic is consistently based on false premises, leading to faulty and deadly Ethics (LEB).”
Subsidiarity and Solidarity must function in combination. They are clarified in Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical “Caritas in Veritate” – Charity in truth. I added the Chaos that brings unexpected opportunities, chance meetings, and the infinite permutations and combinations of events and inspirations we see in every day life. “E pluribus unum” combined with the opportunity to rise above one’s station we Americans have always been blessed with – often in spite of ourselves.
High Touch and High Tech come from John Naisbitt’s 1980 book “Megatrends”, where he accurately projected coming events with the rise of technology and appreciation for things of beauty. I added High Finance as Enablement – as servant, not master as found in the multistory outhouse of “progressivism.”
It is time to put the melody back into music * Pride into appearance * Courtesy into driving * Romance into love * Commitment into marriage * Responsibility into parenthood * Togetherness into the family * Learning into education * Service into patriotism * Nativity scenes in the city square * Civility into behavior * Refinement into language * Dedication into employment * Prudence into spending * Ambition into achievement and God recognized as our endowing Creator in the halls of government and education from the home to the outer reaches of academia.

I agree with everything you say, I, too am tired. BUT we have to defeat the enemy FIRST. You cannot rest and ignore them
Neil
Who said anything about ignoring tem? When one puts on the armor of god, it isn’t to march in a parade or sing in a choir with all sopranos.I’m challenging you to use this as a way to see what the enemy is doing and to respond with the one thing they can’t handle truth and love – with a bit of humor thrown in. Drives ‘em nuts.
Sorry, Sol. You ridicule me, while I put a Tokarev against the back of your skull and we’ll see what man’s most potent weapon is. Solly baby is one of the 2% of the US population, so you can understand why he touts weapons of the mind as opposed to more traditional fighting arms. If you have brains but not numbers, you try to fight on that playing field. If your enemy is smarter than you are, you kill him.
With regard to gun control: Jesus’ admonition in Matthew 12:29 and Mark 9:40:
“How can anyone enter a strong man’s house and make off with his property unless he first ties him securely? Only then can he rob his house. He who is not with me is against me…”
He also said there would be wars and rumors of wars until he returns… knowing full well the lousy use of our collective free wills.
He also said the day would come when men would kill, thinking they are doing God a service – even if for some its 72 virgins or whatever.
The Founders seemed to have an uncanny sense of what is necessary in this cruel world.
Reality Check: The Alinsky insurgents, a few thousand, are playing in the backyard of 300 million with as many weapons. All we have to do is stand-pat till they run outta gas, sponsor a few ‘laugh-ins,’ roast a few effigies, i.e. use “Rules For Radicals” rule # 4A against them “ridicule (laughter) is man’s most potent weapon.” It’s the perfect ratio of “least amount of effort for the most return.” Let’s have some fun!!…Semper Fi
Agree with you, “gilljones”! Superb and prudent article…..to be absorbed and applied. The most obtuse tactic of intimidation done by progressives is sickening……the mockery, the lying, the obscene behaviors should be recognized, by now, as the evil that will not consume us. The progressives’ tactics are intended to reverse the blame; the wrongs ‘they’ do….are blamed on the Conservatives. Only the ignorant refuse to realize that they, eventually, will suffer. Pray for them.
Prayer DOES change things, and multitudes of Americans are praying. Healing will happen, through praying for the above-written sought….and achieved solutions: “Ambition into achievement and GOD recognized as our endowing Creator…..in the halls of government and education, from the home to the outer reaches of academia.”
A solid, Christian American response to a Satanic policy that has immobilized a Right Wing but spiritually clueless population. A satanically empowered attack cannot be repelled with guns and arrogant fists raised in the face of God. If this attack from the Evil One is to be beaten back, it will be overcome by a prayerful and humble people, openly declaring their dependence on a Holy God. This Nation was founded by such men; it will not be reclaimed by any other.
Thanks guys – You made me cry because this has been bunring in my soul for years and this is the first time anyone has even responded to it – save for one religious broadcaster who demanded I take him off my mailing list. Pray for him too.
Gerald, you appear to be a truly good and faithful servant to God, as well as a man of humility. We are all in this together. I get upset with myself when I worry; however, although I trust Jesus, I just find it difficult to see and feel the way our country is becoming “unrecognizable”. I grew up in a loving, Christian, and hard-working family…….. and environment. Today, there is so much bitterness and divisiveness…….when we SHOULD NOT have it that way. God is Love. In Him We (Should) Trust. Spread His Word…….to all!
Gerald, In case you are still following this, I just wanted you to know……..I am lifting you up in prayer tonight…..
in the Name of Jesus. God Bless You!
Thank you! BTW, my tears are tears of joy for people like you rising to the cause of our great nation under God. In the explanation of the 9 points, above, note: “Subsidiarity and Solidarity must function in combination. They are clarified in Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical “Caritas in Veritate” – Charity in truth. I added the Chaos that brings unexpected opportunities, chance meetings, and the infinite permutations and combinations of events and inspirations we see in every day life.”
Today, the Pope spoke of his retreat to a life of prayer when he said; “I would like to thank you all, not only for this week, but for the past eight years, in which you have borne with me, with great skill, affection, love, faith, the weight of the Petrine ministry, …. “In this certainty let us go forward,” the Pope stated, “confident in the victory of God, sure of the truth, of beauty, and of love.”
That is what the Fountain of Opportunity and Prosperity is all about.
Benedict virtually begged Americans to vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket, knowing full well, “It’s almost as if wickedness wills permanently to spoil creation, to contradict God and make its truth and its beauty unrecognizable,” the Pope observed.
The whole article is worth the read – even for those of us who aren’t quite sure what Catholicism is all about: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-spends-final-retreat-exploring-truth-beauty-connection/
Before I view the above, your comment speaks volumes, Gerald! My heart goes out to Pope Benedict, and I know he, like God, is saddened by the evil ways in the world. I truly believe the situation he sees in our country was a factor in his ‘retreat’. The sermon in my church today was
in keeping with the ‘turning from God’…..as being, really, THE problem. So very little is held sacred
today. It will come to pass….hopefully not too late…….when the people in America will realize
the many ‘alerts’ given to us, just as Pope Benedict saw…..and felt. Our pastor talked about the truth in the Bible, when God sent Jeremiah to alert the people; they refused;………as in “Shiloh”.
In the last week, I have felt so thankful to notice many ‘COMMENTS’ have been posted, with the
mention of our needing God………now, more than ever. We will always STAND UP FOR JESUS.
God Bless You All!
Obama’a Achilles Heal is so large it extends to his crotch. His birth certificate and selective service registration card are law enforcement confirmed forgeries and he is using a social security number that was issued to someone else and failed to pass E-verify, yet no court will allow discovery to take place that would legally expose this usurper and the criminal enterprise behind him.
There is no act of treason more life threatening to our Republic and beneficial to our enemies than having this agent of foreign and unknown allegiance transforming our Republic into something more Marxist/Islamic to his liking, as the President and Commander In Chief Of Our Military Forces.
This is the greatest national security threat this country has faced since its founding and now that the Supreme Court has flatly refused to allow discovery to proceed in a legal manner it leaves only one peaceful course of action and that is for the Republican House, while it still retains majority status, to immediately exercise their Constitutional Responsibility by opening an investigation and appoint a special prosecutor that will pull up this usurpers pants leg and take a good close look at that Achilles Heal Obama and his criminal regime have spent millions of dollars to protect.
Once the true and authentic records of Obama are in hand and the regime behind him knows their time is up, the final step of a Senate trial will probably not be necessary because the truth will be so clear this criminal regime will prefer to dump him, as did the Republicans on Nixon, and salvage what they can of the tremendous advances they have made thus far.
It’s just that simple if the House Republicans were not such treasonous cowards. What reason could possibly justify such cowardice???
I’m not good at blogging, but I invite you to check this site where I was able to include my amateurish illustrations of a “progressive” multistory outhouse and a “Fountain of Opportunity and Prosperity.” Check it out, if only for a chuckle: http://teapartyorg.ning.com/forum/topics/tired-of-playing-by-saul-alinsky-s-rules?xg_source=activity
Oh, and the quote from Keats’ “Ode to a Grecian Urn” Dan left out of this post:
“When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st,
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” – that is all.”
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats “Ode to a Grecian Urn” 1819
The false prophet will now take over the Seat in Rome according to mystic, Maria Divine Mercy: The Masonic elite have grasped control over My Church and they will wield the most wicked deceit upon Catholics. The Keys of Rome are now within My Hands having been passed over to Me by My Father. I will direct all of My followers so that the Truth can be sustained and that My Holy Word remains intact
You know the Truth. It has been fed to you, as Christians. So when you see that God’s Commandments and My Teachings are being re-written, and My Holy Sacraments changed, then you must turn your backs. Do not allow lies to frighten you, rather be frightened for those who accept these new evil acts and laws, purported to be from Me and who fail to understand the Truth.
I like what you wrote. I agree with everything. I forward this to evey one on my email and posted it on the tea party
