Orwell, Alinsky, and the Teleprompter

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" 


And so it is with our current President.  He denies that this upcoming debt on our children and grandchildren is his doing.   He denies that he ever heard Jeremiah Wright speak ill of America.   He denies his relationship with Bill Ayers.   And the "journalists" report it as fact.  It gets documented and not investigated.   And it becomes the truth.


That quote at the top is straight from Orwell's 1984.   A book that talks about the all powerful government.  The one that is only looking out for it's citizens.   It's only interest is in the well being of the masses and not the individual.   And therefor the individual loses freedom in the name of protecting the masses.


"A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism."

--Saul Alinksy, Rules for Radicals, 1971


Does this sound like anyone you know?   Just this weekend our Campaigner in Chief describes how the financial sector will play a less significant role in our future economy.  How government will soon be the arbiter of all things money.   One day he declares he thinks that Chrysler will be fine and the very next day his administration is strong arming financial and investment companies to prop up Chrysler during bankruptcy.


We are currently embroiled in the "revolution to end capitalism".


The effective nationalization of industry, banking and trade in the US is the result of this "revolution".  The effort to effectively bankrupt the country is part of this revolution.   The Presidents constant efforts at portraying anyone that is successful as evil (all the while Michelle runs around in $500 tennis shoes) is part of this revolution.  Class warfare is without a doubt part of this revolution.


"'The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems,' and 'organizations must be based on many issues.' The organizer 'must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.

-- Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, 1971


And now the Democrat party has purchased it's filibuster proof majority in the Senate by promising to help get a an old power hungry politician elected if he switches parties.   All the pieces are in place for a complete leftward movement.  The House has no fears that it's radical legislation will be stalled in the Senate so expect to see Speaker Pelosi start up the entitlement engine and rev it up to full power.


It's time, no, it's past time, for the freedom loving, the liberty loving, the constitution loving part of our society to make themselves known.   The Tea Parties were a good start - but what's next?  We must continue to make our displeasure known.   We must continue to let our representatives in government know that this is unacceptable.  We must start looking at the Republican leadership and let them know they've lost their way.


And we must be willing to look for another answer.


While the Republicans blew their chance to show that conservatism is about smaller government, more liberty and more freedom the Democrats have swooped in.   It is George W. Bush and the Republicans that failed us and opened the door to the future of Marxism/Socialism.  Their polarization to the far right and giving so much power to the christian block is what has turned many away.


I urge you to look at the libertarian party as an alternative.   A belief in personal liberty and freedom are the foundations of the Libertarian Party.  Do me a favor.  Read their platform.  You won't agree with all of it, but I bet you don't agree with all of the Republican Party platform either.  Read it.  And see which one strikes you as more conservative.   As more true to the founding father's vision.


And tell me I'm wrong.
