Alinsky, you magnificent bastard, we read your book!

Well, I am reading it. The whole damned thing. If you can wade through is addle brained radicalism, there are some gold nuggets in there. The good news is that his radical weapons can be captured and turned around. The young woman in this video knows of what I speak. Here, knowingly or unknowingly, she applies theories from Rules for Radicals in dealing with Congressman Norm Dicks (D-WA).

Simple message? Check.

Make the enemy live by his rules? Check.

Ridicule the enemy? Check.

A tactic the people enjoy? Check.

She is turning Alinsky’s guns around and she is pitch perfect. She essentially tells him to man up and come take her money from her hand instead of absconding with it by sneaking it out of her paycheck before she even comes in possession of it. They never will. Pointing out the cowardice of their ways is a beautiful thing. Coast to coast Americans should challenge the government to “come and take it from my hand if you can stand the embarrassment.”

Saul Alinsky: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

The cultural achievement of the Obamanation

Van Jones a-go-go!

Hate capitalism!

Hate business!

Hate whitey!

Van Jones is the perfect Obama Administration Czar. Therefore, he must go. I predict he will be under the wheels of Obama’s bus before Tuesday AM.

Via Powerline…

Who do they have in the White House? A self-proclaimed Communist. A vulgar Marxist twice over. A supporter of cold-blooded cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. A 9/11 Truther . A racist hater, whose hatred extends to the United States. And insofar as his current job is concerned, we have a man who sees the “green jobs” con as a tool for overthrowing capitalism. We have, in short, the complete left-wing nightmare package.

Jones also signifies the meaning of the Obama administration’s delegation of authority to a profusion of “czars.” As Michelle Malkin observes with perfect concision: “Obama czardom is the deliberate end-run around transparency.” No messy Senate confirmations required.

Creating a crisis

Obama is getting nowhere with his health care boondoggle. Plan B will be to create a crisis.

President Barack Obama returns to Washington next week in search of one thing that can revive his health-care overhaul: a sense of crisis.

Facing polls showing a drop in his approval, diminished support from independents, factions within his Democratic Party and a united Republican opposition, Obama must recapture the sense of urgency that led to passage of the economic rescue package in February, analysts said.

“At the moment, except for the people without insurance, we’re not in a health-care crisis,” said Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington. “You do need a crisis to generate movement in Congress and to help build a consensus.”

H1N1 is coming! Be afraid! Be very, very afraid!

A watermelon speaks

You know, we wingnuts are just crazy. We say the wildest stuff. For example, we say that environmentalists are watermelons because they are green on the outside but red on the inside. We argue that the environmentalist movement is just a softer, gentler vanguard of the proletariat and is really just a Marxist Trojan Horse. We claim that environmentalists aren’t so much interested in the environment as they are the economy and interested in bringing about radical social change. They are cynically using environmentalism to further their Leninist plans.

We’re just a a bunch of paranoid nuts, right? Van Jones doesn’t think so. In fact, he says exactly what we have been saying in this video. Exactly.

“A complete revolution was on the table for this country and I think this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages…”

This guy will have to resign before the weekend is over, Obama is warming up the bus under which he throws his friends right now. His resignation won’t change one damned thing about the Obamanation. They knew who Van Jones is. Who he is is why they chose him. They simply didn’t want you to know who he is. Now that you do, he has to go.

Cultivating the Cult

obamaCult-1

The public school my daughter attends sent out an email explaining their position on Obama’s Tuesday speech. It is about three pages but I will summarize it here.

1) They have received comments from those who strongly believe it should be shown and those equally adamant that it not be shown.

2) The school isn’t hierarchical and the superintendent doesn’t decide what teachers show and don’t show. Those decisions are made by teachers within the context of broad policies.

3) The superintendent has reviewed the White House suggested lesson plan and it fits within the confines of those policies.

4) It will, therefore, be up to the individual teachers to either air or not air the speech. Teachers may also record it for later use.

5) The email includes the White House lesson plan and encourages parents to read it.

That all sounds reasonable but it misses a key question, I think. That is why is this necessary at all? Presumably teachers had lesson plans prepared in advance that did not include Obama addressing students. Why insert this late entry into plans at all? What can Obama add to the educational experience of students? Why does the White House feel the need to insert itself into the day of the nation’s students? There is nothing that Obama can add to the day Tuesday that is of educational value that could not be achieved through the typically locally controlled curriculum devised by our state agencies, local board of education, school board and PTA organizations. Nobody asked for Obama to address students and there is nothing this one man can accomplish that could not be accomplished if he would simply butt out.

The debauchery continues….

Obama_and_Biden

Time for a celebration! The state run media is bearing good news: U.S. employers cut fewer-than-expected jobs in August! Fewer than expected? All hail Barack Obama!

Of course the unemployment rate increased from 9.4% to 9.7% which is a 26 year high. Hopenchange just has to be given time to work, right? After all, Obama has it figured out. In addition to having created huge debt payments with the stimulus and omnibus bills, he will create new tax burden on individuals in the form of health insurance mandates, drop health insurance tax deductions for businesses, extend new entitlements to tens of millions of people, impose the biggest tax increase in history in the form of Cap and Trade and raise taxes radically on the investor class. That should just about do it.

You know, if my goals were to debauch the currency, throw millions more out of work, force a recession to become a deep, long depression and create conditions to impose a socialist system in which the citizenry was no longer self reliant but rather dependent on the government, the above plan would be how I would go about it.

Here is the real good news. We are all out here in America doing our thing. We are building, manufacturing, marketing, selling, distributing and servicing. Even as the political thief class goes about undermining what we do, we drive on and, ultimately, our economic regenerative powers will overwhelm even the sabotage of the Obamanation. We are more powerful than they are. We will overcome.

Dirka Dirka, here’s what our nuke transports look like!

semi

In an unusual display of weapons-grade stupidity, the Huffington post published photographs of the tractor-trailers that transport our nuclear weapons from one facility to another. I’m having trouble coming up with civilized words for the depth of these people’s ignorance. I’ll let the article explain itself and see where the comments go.

See the link here: My God, these people want us to be attacked.

(you can see the pics at the linked article. I won’t be responsible for further disseminating this information, as I have an buddy from my days in the service, who drives one of these trucks).

The tired, worn, dog eared race card gets played again

rangel1

Remember when Obama was going to usher in a post racial America? Yeah, it seems like a long time ago. If anything, it seems like his presidency has been racially antagonistic. We have New York Governor Patterson telling America that he is being persecuted for being black completely ignoring the fact that he is also incompetent. We have Obama making snap judgments about white cops racially profiling his chums and now we have the tax cheating head of Ways and Means telling us that The Man is riding rough shod on the the president.

...wait for the cure.

A “pandemic response bill” currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.

No surprise here…

Why the hell not? They were socialist, totalitarian birds of a feather.

chess_1474122c

Pictured: Hitler playing chess with Lenin
A picture of a young Adolf Hitler apparently playing chess against Vladimir Lenin 100 years ago has come to light.

The image is said to have been created in Vienna by Hitler’s art teacher, Emma Lowenstramm, and is signed on the reverse by the two dictators.

Hitler was a jobbing artist in the city in 1909 and Lenin was in exile and the house where they allegedly played the game belonged to a prominent Jewish family.

In the run-up to the Second World War the Jewish family fled and gave many of their possessions, including the etching and chess set, to their housekeeper.

Now their housekeeper’s great-great grandson is selling the image and the chess set at auction. Both items have a pre-sale estimate of £40,000.

The unnamed vendor is confident the items are genuine after his father spent a lifetime attempting to prove their authenticity.

He compiled a 300-page forensic document that included tests on the paper, the signatures and research on those involved.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’ve been feeling neglectful of the Revo here lately. I’ve had to step back a bit to contemplate some things, having suffered a few personal setbacks here of late. I’ve been told that my radical, over-the-top behavior has become “self destructive”. I’m sure that anyone who would think or say that just isn’t paying attention to what is happening in this country every single day or if they are they simply have no problem with the course the radical Communists in Washington D.C. have charted for us and our future generations. Any radical streak I have doesn’t even begin to compare with the radicals who are now destroying this Nation as promised and in a deliberate manner.

Last night I decided to break the blue funk I’ve been under. I decided to cleanse my palate, if you will. Last night I engaged in the social version of Russian Roulette known as a blind date. It’s time for you to ease the seat back and take a break from the Communist Revolution that is being forced down your throats right now, forget about the living hell your children and grandchildren will have to endure and enjoy a journey to another dimension.

Behold the mystery of macroeconomic faith!

It is the mysterious doctrine of faith that only high priests of economic doctrine can comprehend, you see. Debt doesn’t matter and the more debt we have, the wealthier we are. If you don’t understand that it is because you don’t hold a doctorate in economics that allows you to interpret the mysteries of quantum economics. I know it sounds like it is bat shit crazy to say that we can borrow our way to wealth but that is because you are a stupid member of the hoi polloi who has not achieved the enlightenment that allows you to understand the parallel universe of economic majik. Here is an idea! Let’s borrow a quadrillion dollars! Then even the homeless could be rich.

Representative Pete Stark (D-CA) contemplates the mysteries of economic faith.

Stark is a fool. I have a degree in economics and I can assure you in no uncertain terms: Representative Pete Stark is full of shit. Debt matters.

Right at the end the good congressman says, “You get the fuck out or I’ll throw you out the window.”

(Yeah, the video is old but it was new to me.)

Keep your kids home on September 8

indoctrinate

September 8 is nationwide elementary skip day. On that day, Obama will address the nation’s school children for some purpose that isn’t exactly clear. His address doesn’t bother me in principle but it creeps me out just the same.

It bothers me because this administration doesn’t shy away from heavy handed propaganda. It bothers me because I have a copy of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals on my desk as I type this and it is clear that, if Obama was going to do a little radical “community organizing,” this is how Alinsky would have him do it. It bothers me because I know that every radical of the modern era has tried to control the minds of the youth. It bothers me because I firmly oppose the politicization of public schools. It bothers me because so many educators feel the same as the vacuous simpletons in the “I Pledge” video below and will see this a license to politicize what they teach your kids. It bothers me because Bill Ayers has been a mentor to Obama and has devoted his radical career to the socialist indoctrination of students here and around the world. All of this is certainly at the core of the address. Keep your children home that day.

Here is the ending of a speech Ayers gave in Venezuela in 2006. It is socialist pap served up in heaping helpings.

Sentenced to death on the NHS

rsln141l

Remember how the MSM and Left mocked the idea of ‘death panels’ put forward by opponents of socialized medicine like Gov. Palin? No? Let me refresh your memory…

Palin doubles down on ‘death panels’

“Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin defended her claim that the Democratic health care proposal would create “death panels” in a statement Wednesday night slamming President Barack Obama.

“Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system, these ‘unproductive’ members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care,” Palin wrote in a note on her Facebook page.

“The provision that President Obama refers to is Section 1233 of HR 3200, entitled ‘Advance Care Planning Consultation.’ With all due respect, it’s misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients,” she continued…”

All nonsense right? Just hyperbolic ramblings of another ‘looney toon’ red state right-winger, no? If you were a member of  the Jon Stewart watching cognoscenti, you’d have know all along that it’s pure rubbish!!!

Uh-oh…

Green Jobs Czar calls Republicans assholes

I guess that makes Revoistas uber-assholes. Of course he is a self-described communist. The day a communist considers me anything other than an asshole, will be a day I engage in some serious, life-changing introspection.

A few questions…

What the hell is a “green jobs Czar?”

Why do we need one?

If we do need one, why is ours a card carrying communist?

Did we really want the United States government to transition from a policy of killing communists to employing them?

I Pledge…

I pledge to resist the soft sale of thinly disguised fascism by empty headed celebrities.

Be prepared to suppress your gag reflex.

I posted this old, nasty shit because it is in the news again.

Utah Eagle Forum upset over political video shown at elementary school

A video shown at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington has ruffled the feathers of the Utah Eagle Forum which claims it is a political message in support of a “liberal” agenda.

The video, which consists of celebrities pledging support for a variety of causes, was shown on Friday, August 28. The Eagle Forum says it was brought to their attention by concerned parents.

President of the Utah Eagle Forum, Gayle Ruzicka, says the decision to show the video was made by the PTA president and school principal without parental consent.

“I’m very concerned when they show a leftist, liberal political video to elementary-age children without their parents being notified,” Ruzicka said.

Humoring the bitter clingers

30obama-600

Obama has been hitting religious talking points to a degree that, had Bush done done it, would have had liberals apoplectic with rage.

Speaking to a coalition of 30 faith-based groups, he thundered that opponents of health care reform were “frankly, bearing false witness.” He then offered a religious justification for his policy preference that somehow failed to make liberal Democrats uncomfortable about church/state entanglement. “These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation: that is, that we look out for one another; that is, I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper. And in the wealthiest nation in the world right now, we are neglecting to live up to that call.”

Why is mixing religion and government okay when Democrats do it? The answer is that liberals don’t believe they really mean it when they profess faith. They look at one and other, wink, nod and understand that Obama is merely using the language of tradition and mythology to assuage the weak minded masses. Unlike in the case of Bush’s sincere religious beliefs, the left is willing to accept Obama posing as a believer. After all, honoring America’s “historical religious traditions” is quite a bit different from, you know, actually believing that stuff. That’s for the bitter clingers in fly-over country.

Meanwhile, Iowa bishop R. Walker Nickless in a message issued by the Diocese of Sioux City, explains the position of the Catholic Church on Obamacare.

The backdoor to paradise?

rpg butt

Al Qaeda claimed responsibility Sunday for a suicide attack that injured a Saudi prince.

Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned television network, said the attacker concealed the explosives in his anus, allowing him to evade detection. The network also quoted an expert as saying that the method of concealment aimed the blast away from the target, while blowing the bomber to bits.

An al Qeada spokesman said that the mujaheddin continue to perfect this technique and more than a hundred volunteers use dummy rounds to take part in enthusiastic practice at least three times a day.

I might have made that last sentence up. Maybe….

A Penny for your Thoughts?

I was dropping my youngest son off at school this morning and, as I got out of my pickup, I dropped a dime. I looked down and, God as my witness, it was standing on the sidewalk on its edge. The damned thing bounced and landed on its edge.

When I got into the office I told a couple of people about it and they reminded me of this. Soon, I shall have the power…

“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”

Obama will be addressing the youth in a speech called Students Across America on September 8, 2009. The White House is sending out a lesson guide for teachers to be used in association with the speech to the young pioneers kids. Here are some examples of ways they “suggest” to raise the revolutionary consciousness get feedback from the future revolutionaries students.

“Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, the senators, members of congress or the governor? Why is what they say important”

“What is the President trying to tell me?”

“What is the President asking me to do?”

“What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?”

“Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do?”

Keep Those Loins Girded – Cap & Tax Is Next

Cartoon_-_Cap_&_Trade_4

While Obamacare has a great many people mad as hell (and rightly so), the next big battle is already being scheduled. The Cap & Tax bill passed in the House has reached the Senate, albeit later than its proponents would like and in the shadow of the Obamacare morass.

The primary sponsors of the next great attempt to steal our money and kill the economy are Barbara Boxer and John Kerry. However, they’ve pushed back the introduction of Senate legislation until sometime late in September. The reasons cited are Kerry’s hip surgery (sorta legitimate), the ashes and sackcloth mourning period over Sen. Ted “drink-n-sink” Kennedy’s death (give me a break), and a desire not to get overshadowed by the healthcare debate (Senators want Prime Time, not second billing).

Actually, what Boxer, Kerry, and Reid really want is more time to try and strongarm reluctant democrat senators into supporting this monstrosity of legislation and what amounts to the biggest tax hike in history. After the August break, during which democrat Senators were watching the fire heaped on their Representative bretheren, they’ll be less than thrilled at what could be a job-killing vote (theirs and ours).

Lets make that an even more unpleasant prospect for them.

Going down with the ship?

ssobamacare

With no public option government option, no rationing, no end-of-life” counseling and no mandates, Obamacare is sunk.

[Senator Chuck] Grassley in the past has roundly criticized the public option, but went a step further Monday in saying the core group of senators agreed such a provision would not be in a bill.

“It’s pretty clear that’s something not on the table,” Grassley said. “It’s fair to say that not every one of the six is opposed to it, but they realize the reality of it.”

The six senators have scheduled a conference call Friday, but Grassley said nothing can be resolved until next week when Congress returns and the affect of nationwide town hall meetings can be assessed.

Grassley reiterated that there are limits on what he can accept in a final health care reform package.

“There are things that for months have been things I have said can’t be in a bill,” Grassley said. “There are some instructions from my caucus I have tried to take to the table: no public option, no rationing and tort reform.”

Will Captain Obama go down with the ship?

Something will end up getting passed, but it won’t be the single payer Trojan Horse Obama set out to pass. Pat yourself on the back America, you held off the socialist menace yet again. It was, at best, a delaying action, however. They will be back.
