 <div>My first blog post of the New Year is a political one.&#160; I was hoping to have finished reading Terry Pratchett&#39;s, <em>The Color of Magic</em> and writing a review about that, but I haven&#39;t finished it yet, and this story is rather important, politically.&#160; <br /><br />But first, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and had a blast on New Year&#39;s as the ball dropped!<br /><br />Okay, back to the politics.&#160; I hope my next blog post is a novel review.&#160; lol...<br /><br />So, here it is.&#160; The article is from the <strong><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_democrats2010">Associated Press</a></strong> - via Yahoo News:<br /><br /><blockquote><p><cite class="vcard">By LIZ SIDOTI, AP National Political Writer</cite><br /><cite class="vcard"></cite><br /><cite class="vcard"></cite><abbr class="recenttimedate" title="2010-01-02T13:28:33-0800"></abbr><p>WASHINGTON – An already difficult situation for Democrats in Congress is worsening as the 2010 political season opens.</p><p>To minimize expected losses in next fall&#39;s election, President Barack Obama&#39;s party is testing a line of attack that resurrects <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_0">George W. Bush</span> as a boogeyman and castigates Republicans as cozy with Wall Street.</p><p>Four
House Democrats from swing districts have recently chosen not to seek
re-election, bringing to 11 the number of retirements that could leave
Democratic-held seats vulnerable to Republicans. More Democratic
retirements are expected.</p><p>Over the holiday break, another Democrat, freshman <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_1" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Rep. Parker Griffith</span> of Alabama, defected to the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_2" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">GOP</span>.
&quot;I can no longer align myself with a party that continues to pursue
legislation that is bad for our country, hurts our economy, and drives
us further and further into debt,&quot; said Griffith, who voted against
Democrats&#39; three biggest initiatives in 2009: health care, financial
regulation and reducing global warming.</p><p>In the Senate, at least four Democrats — including <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_3" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Majority Leader Harry Reid</span> of Nevada and five-term <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_4" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Connecticut</span> Sen. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_5">Chris Dodd</span> — are in serious trouble. The party could also lose its grip on seats Obama held in Illinois and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_6" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Vice President Joe Biden</span> long occupied in Delaware.</p><p>Going
into 2010, Democrats held a 257-178 majority in the House and an
effective 60-40 majority in the Senate, including two independents who
align themselves with Democrats.</p><p>But they face
an incumbent-hostile electorate worried about a 10 percent unemployment
rate, weary of wars and angry at politicians of all stripes. Many
independents who backed Democrats in 2006 and 2008 have turned away.
Republicans, meanwhile, are energized and united in opposing Obama&#39;s
policies.</p><p>The one thing that heartens Democrats
is that voters also don&#39;t think much of the GOP, which is bleeding
backers, lacking a leader and facing a conservative revolt.</p><p>House
Democrats began an ad campaign in December assailing Republicans for
opposing legislation restructuring federal financial rules and
recalling the final days of the Bush presidency, when the economy
tanked.</p><p>&quot;Remember? We all know we should never
let this happen again,&quot; the ad says. It lays into Republicans for
voting &quot;to let Wall Street continue the same risky practices that
crippled retirement accounts and left taxpayers on the hook for $700
billion.&quot;</p><p>Maryland <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Rep. Chris Van Hollen</span>,
who heads the House Democrats&#39; campaign arm, said his party wants to
remind voters who was on their side at a difficult time. &quot;<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_8">The Republican Party</span> in Washington today is no different than the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_9">Republican Party</span> that ran the Congress before,&quot; he said.</p><p>But
that was three years ago. Democrats have been in control since, and
Bush is long gone. This is Obama&#39;s country now. Democrats tried to use
Bush against <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_10" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Republican Chris Christie</span> in the New Jersey governor&#39;s race in November — and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_11" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine</span> still lost.</p><p>A
top Democratic priority is minimizing losses among nearly four dozen
seats the party now holds from moderate-to-conservative districts that <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_12" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Republican John McCain</span> won in the 2008 presidential race. The most vulnerable in that group include Democratic Reps. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_13" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Mary Jo Kilroy</span> in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_14">Ohio</span>, Harry Teague in New Mexico, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_15" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Frank Kratovil</span> in Maryland, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_16">Tom Perriello</span> in Virginia and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_17" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Travis Childers</span> in Mississippi.</p><p>Reps. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_18">Bart Gordon</span> and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_19">John Tanner</span>, both of Tennessee, were in that group until they chose to retire. So was Griffith, before he switched to the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_20">GOP</span>. Retirement announcements from Reps. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_21">Dennis Moore</span> of Kansas and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_22">Brian Baird</span> of Washington put two more Democratic seats in swing-voting districts on the GOP&#39;s target list.</p><p>Democrats
insist that Gordon, Tanner, Moore and Baird are leaving for personal
reasons and are not the first ripple in a wave of retirements akin to
1994 when 28 Democrats chose not to run, and Republicans won control in
part by winning 22 of those seats.</p><p>Republicans don&#39;t agree.</p><p>&quot;Democrats
are beginning to see the writing on the wall, and instead of choosing
to fight in a difficult political environment, they are taking a pass
and opting for retirement,&quot; said Ken Spain, a spokesman for the House
GOP&#39;s campaign arm.</p><p>The GOP will be defending
at least a dozen open seats because of retirements, with several
lawmakers leaving the House to run for higher office.
</p><p>
The situation for Democrats in the Senate is nearly as grim.
</p><p>
Democrats crowed after six Senate Republicans — four from <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_23">swing states</span> Florida, Ohio, Missouri and New Hampshire and two from GOP-leaning Kansas and Kentucky — announced retirements.
</p><p>Spirited GOP challenges are now expected in all six states, and
Republicans say they are optimistic they retain the seats. An
emboldened GOP also is looking to put a pair of senior Senate Democrats
our of office.
</p><p>Reid, who is seeking a fifth term, is faring poorly in surveys
in a hypothetical matchup with Nevada GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden, one of
several Republicans competing for chance to challenge him.
</p><p>Dodd, the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee chairman
who has taken heat for a discounted VIP mortgage loan he got from a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_24">subprime lender</span>,
has been consistently behind potential GOP challenger Rob Simmons in
Connecticut polls. Simmons, a former House member, has his own
challenger in World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder Linda McMahon,
who also is seeking the Republican nomination for Dodd&#39;s seat.
</p><p>
Also vulnerable are <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_25" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Sen. Blanche Lincoln</span>, a moderate Democrat in GOP-leaning Arkansas, and Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado, who was appointed when <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_26">Ken Salazar</span> became Obama&#39;s interior secretary.
</p><p>Republicans have high hopes for picking up Senate seats in
Illinois and Delaware that were held by the president and vice
president, respectively. Neither of their appointed successors is
seeking election to the seats.
</p><p>
Early polling shows GOP <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_27" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Rep. Mark Kirk</span>
leading among Republican candidates in Illinois. Veteran GOP Rep. and
former two-term Gov. Mike Castle is running in Delaware. Biden&#39;s son,
Democratic state Attorney General <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262467729_28">Beau Biden</span>, is considering whether to challenge Castle.</p></p></blockquote><p>So, the Dems are worried.&#160; They should be, and so should the Republicans.&#160; People are pissed at a government that spends too much and bailing out bastards who shouldn&#39;t be.&#160; I hope this coming Mid-Term Election both parties reap what they have sown.</p><p>Until next time...</p><p>-Wil<br /></p>

        <p>In February, conservatives from around the country will gather in Washington for the annual <a href="http://www.cpac.org/">Conservative Political Action Conference</a>, a major pow wow for aspiring candidates and activists alike. Anyone looking to run for the GOP presidential nomination for 2012 will likely be there to greet the faithful. But socially conservative Christians, including Jerry Falwell Jr. and the <a href="http://action.afa.net/">American Family Association</a>, are threatening to boycott the influential event this year. Why? Because the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, has allowed a gay group to co-sponsor the event. <a href="http://goproud.org/">GOProud</a> members, like the usual CPAC attendees, are committed to free markets, individual freedoms, and limited government. <strong>The group was formed by gay conservatives who found the Log Cabin Republicans too liberal for their tastes.</strong></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

China&#39;s White Fleet led to the Renaissance, including of European weapons of war, unnoticed, suppressed, since the 1430s, leading to the known outcome, of WWII:
All the TV, movie, and book media leads to 2012, when the world&#39;s oldest book, the I-Ching, wraps up its mysterious nature, with the Mayan Calendar, which definitely ends, December 21, 2012. 

This is probably because all those years of Victoria, Beth of Death, Nixon, Bush, and Cheney left all the Dickies at riot, in no condition to manage a nation. 

ALL RIOT! Chill, desist at mayhem, and disband, if you don&#39;t get it. 

If you UNDERSTAND, I can get a court, to give you benefit of doubt, like in Islam! Wouldn&#39;t that be nice? 

If not, eat PRC agendas, puppies. I won&#39;t hang around, for PRC, attorneys, other creditor nations, and USDOJ to sort you haters out: 
1. The WHITE FLEET sailed the world, in the 1430s, left hurricane-wrecks in the mis-named Indies, re-built, and sailed home, leaving many persons, behind, on islands; 
2. Some person(s) landed in England and bestowed cast-arrowhead design, in service since Han, for 1800 years; 
3. Robin Hood didn&#39;t pay enough, so the longbow was doomed to be eclipsed, by the Chinese CROSSBOW, which turned up in Europe and killed many thousands, until Isabella wised up, and sent Cristopher Columbus, to find Chinese on Hispaniola; 
4. ISABELLA incited riot in the several continents, since 1492 or whenever the Europeans and Vatican devised to distort the origin of the land-bridge and naval occupied Asians they found, and abused, by killing them and calling them, &#39;INDIANS;&#39; 
5. GET OUT OF MY POOL, STANDING ARMIES WHO CANNOT STOP SHOOTING AT SITTING BULL!!~!!! The PRC, Koreas, Japan, Russia, and any other abused person may sue you American rioters, out of your homes and offices, TODAY, pigs!! 

So MEANWHILE, geeks with little, tiny, crossed-up heads try to hog all the haggle, preventing notice of fraud, waste, and abuse, leading to FATAL CROSS-CONTAMINATION OF ALL AMERICAN TRANSACTIONS, when the Chinese sue your stupid, ignorant, unenameled butt, right out of USDC and out of your house, if you continue at riot, stupidly. 

Got a cross? Put it where Jesus&#39; dust cannot impose itself, or toss it, cross-creeps. 

You RIOT, against the Jews, to claim an end to their simple volunteerism, and to confuse the criminal ABRAHAM, with Moses brother, Aaron, who with Moses fashioned a calf, to explain how Santorini-Thera erupts, and how it ended the Minoans before, and in 1350 BCE, he wanted the Habirus to go HOME, TO ETHIOPIA. 

They stoned him as soon as the tablets broke. 

Get your gay, crusading asses and depleted uranium shooters, OUT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD. 

You war-creeps let foreign Nixonians walk into our police stations, and abuse the natives. We are NOT from India, pigs, etc. Stuff your yogurt back in there and learn to say, &#39;Namaste!&#39; 

You took the Egyptians six-point star, causing Germans to take the Hindus&#39; swastika and invade Ethiopia, in WWII. 

The next try at making SH*T out of everybody for your narcissistic, floppy-eared OBAMA will have a tragic result. 

You will NOT achieve your stinking, two, gay-as-Christ goals, to stay in Jerusalem, namely, to stomp Sunnis like flop, push through SHIITES, and wind up in CHINA, talking crap. 

You will drop your loads along the roads, AND WALK AWAY CONTENTED, or we sue piggies and piggar-Obama.

The reason for our word CRAP is Tommy invented the commode. 

The reason for the more famous offal slang, is the BRITS got their TITS twisted by Saladin, and to stay in Jerusalem now, they want to invade China AND the Shiites, and smear the Sunnis, which they have done in part, with US support. 

Ugly Shitters do not deserve to live, without a Chinese coloscopy, since the Chinese are going to have to fund our healthcare, anyway. 
&quot;After all, the people of Germany trusted Hitler because he was a moving and powerful leader that rescued the nation from a crushing depression and restored national pride lost during World War I. Look what happened to that nation when trust was given rather than doubt.&quot; -Katie 

&quot;As much as I am OBAMA supporter, I believe. . .&quot; -trapped 

The Chinese Mings sent a White Fleet, which disgorged any passenger, responsible for both the Renaissance and for weapons, in service for 1800 years, since Han, to wind up first, as cast arrowheads with longbows, in English service, then as crossbows, in European wars, which inspired Isabella of Spain to send Columbus. 

He found CHINESE SAILORS from the 1430s White Fleet, wrecked in a hurricane, and their descendants, on Hispaniola. 

Cris told Izzie he had found a way, to Cathay. Instead, the Vatican and Euro-trash royals cooked up the crock, of Indian migration, to thwart Chinese claims, despite their shattered dishes and other remnants, all over the Caribbean. 

See KFP on 3B, SF Giants, with Edgar at short? You WILL pay rent, to pass this, Dodgers, Meats, and all. You know that, as sure as Bake gets up early, as sure as Cosby had Robbie and Cedric Fielder on, to sketch Kung Fu Panda, 20 years ago! 

You may not distort the very nature of natives, these years, and assert debt or Indians, dewds and tripping chickens. 

Yao Ming and T-Mac are bound to get better, and crash the Rockets&#39; lineup. And then, they can sue you and your CIA, right out of your problems, as soon as you fart. 

Mr.Hitler was an Austrian, part Irish, from mercenary involvement in continental wars. 

Mr.Hitler threatened, to invade Russia, at any time, his subject Germans threatened to kill a lot of Jews, since Alois Hitler, Adolf&#39;s grandfather, was a Jew. 

Hitler therefore killed all the Germans, sundries, AND Russians he could kill, and then he delayed preparation for D-Day defense and deployment of the critical ME-262 fighter, by designating it as a bomber, until moved. 

Of course, Rommel and any several thousand relatives of the now-scarce Stauffenbergs perished, trying to kill him. Ambiguous reference to Ashkenazi Jews neat of NDAP clarifications as to how they called themselves &#39;NAZI,&#39; because of Adolf and any other assimilated Semites is the source of much deadly confusion. 

Of course, Israel shows how Americans eat royal British spam-penis, at media, since the Brits co-opted our entire media, so none of you US DDs knows, Jews are from Ethiopia, despite all the O.G. you meats smoked yourselves with. 

KUSH is Ethiopia, DDs. The original gangsta was ABRAHAM, a converted 10-tribe-bastard, from a dump, called UR. As in, &#39;ERROR!&#39; Most of you are too stoned to think, but you didn&#39;t do any Rommy to get there, either. You know? 

When the Kennedys didn&#39;t pan out and Stalllone sketched Rudy and Ruth coming in, the law was NOT going our way. 

We have until 2013 to sort this out, or the Chinese can sue us down, piggars. See my blogs, for details and class action issues. 

As for Obammy, he slammed me and tried to lose the election, by out-diving experienced Bush-pilots McCain and Palin, by leaving THEIR DD Joe Wurz on Debate III, for an unexplainable half-hour, while Bammy crammed Fred Armison faces, into the production, to make up for two years of whoring, on a billion dollar campaign budget, while coming up with nothing, but clean coal, only tards from Pennsylvania could masturbate at. 

Obammy is going home, as into the Lynyrd Skynyrd files, DDs and hostages, 2011. 

Got STAR TREK? Episode 49, A piece, call him SPOCKO. Episode Merrickus? I deserve a pardon, yo. Sweet home is not where we live, forever, Obama-fannies.

O&#39;Fool gave himself a SOLID B+, for year one! Go back, to STANFORD, Mr.O&#39;bozo!

Tiger Woods got into that Caddy and whacked a tree, to take us back to the old school, since he has been piping all kinds of Obama hookers, and some of them are getting big, Debbie Rowe money.

Watch out for that tree, as George&#39;s Jungle is in the bunghole, O&#39;pigs.</span></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>Statism: Let&#39;s face it: Big government is making suckers out of all of us. All <br />of us, that is, who play by the rules and pay our bills. Here&#39;s a little test to <br />see just how big a sucker you really are.<br />Are you still paying your mortgage each month at the interest rate you agreed <br />to? Sucker! The government has created a program to let those who aren&#39;t paying <br />on their mortgages get lower interest rates on their loans.<br />And if you haven&#39;t had the government make the bank reduce the amount you owe on <br />your loan, you&#39;re an even bigger fool.<br />Do you work for a private company instead of the government? Sucker! The real <br />money is made working for Uncle Sam. The average pay for federal government <br />workers is now $71,206, compared with $40,331 for those in the private sector.<br />In fact, nearly one out of five federal workers pulls down more than $100,000. <br />That&#39;s up over 33% during what the administration says is the worst economic <br />downturn since the Great Depression.<br />And that&#39;s before overtime and benefits — which used to suffice for such workers <br />— kick in. Meanwhile, a &quot;pay czar&quot; aggressively caps salaries at companies that <br />receive &quot;federal&quot; money.<br />Still paying full price for your kids&#39; meals at school? The government currently <br />provides free or reduced-price lunch, breakfast or both for nearly 60% of all <br />school-age children nationwide. Households with incomes of up to 185% of poverty <br />level are eligible.<br />In Philadelphia public schools, 72% of students have access to a universal <br />feeding program — regardless of income. Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey wants to <br />nationalize that program.<br />Are you represented by a senator who promised to vote for health care reform <br />before demanding a few barrels of pork from Majority Leader Harry Reid? As Reid <br />himself said, &quot;I don&#39;t know if there is a senator that doesn&#39;t have something in <br />this bill that was important to them. And if they don&#39;t have something in it <br />important to them, then it doesn&#39;t speak well of them.&quot; Translation: &quot;Sucker!&quot;<br />You don&#39;t actually pay federal income tax, do you? According to the Tax Policy <br />Center, roughly 47% of American households don&#39;t — and that&#39;s expected to top <br />50% soon. So if you&#39;re still cutting a check to Uncle Sam when half of your <br />fellow citizens pay nothing — or even get a tax credit — well, if that&#39;s not the <br />definition of &quot;sucker&quot; we don&#39;t know what is.<br />If it makes you feel any better, Vice President Biden says true patriots pay <br />more in taxes. By extension, your love of country is even more apparent when you <br />also help your neighbors pay their mortgages, food bills and health care costs.<br />Don&#39;t ask what your country can do for you. Ask how big a sucker you can be for <br />your country.<br /></p>

        <p><strong>Joe Wäges</strong><br />
Infowars.com<br />
December 29, 2009</p>
<p>Reading the college thesis of our former First Lady Hillary Clinton
titled “There is Only the Fight… An Analysis of the Alinsky Model”, it
becomes painfully clear why this document has been off limits for the
public at large until recently. It shows in very tangible unambiguous
detail the motivations and methodology of the modern incarnation of
Marxism. In an equally disturbing fashion the author not only shows no
aversion to its aims but defends at every chance, the pioneer of this
modern system, Saul Alinsky.</p>
<p><img alt="featured stories   Clinton On Alinsky: A Revelation of the Method" height="325" src="http://www.infowars.com/images/clintonwes.jpg" title="Clinton On Alinsky: A Revelation of the Method Photo" width="600" /></p>
<p class="photo-caption">Hillary Clinton during her Wellesley College days in the mid to late 60s when she wrote her thesis on Alinksy.</p>
<p>Let us begin by noting that in the acknowledgements section she
gives thanks to Mr. Alinsky for providing a topic sharing some time and
offering a job to then Ms. Rodham. She asks the question what a radical
is and provides the answer in Mr. Alinsky’s own words.</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>They are a  people creating a new bridge of mankind in between </em><em>the past of  narrow nationalistic chauvinism and the horizon of a new man </em><em>kind—a people  of the world.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This is precisely the aim of the power structure behind Communism,
the erasing of all borders and boundaries and the establishment of a
world government based on a modified form of Communism called
Humanistic Socialism. The author continues and defines what it means to
be an American radical. Again she lets Mr. Alinsky define the term.</p>
<blockquote><p>“…<em>that  unique person who actually believes what he </em><em>says… to whom  the common good is the greatest personal value… who gen</em><em>uinely and  completely believes in mankind.… </em><em>Alinsky  outlines American history focusing on men he would call </em>“<em>radical,”  confronting his readers again with the “unique” way Americans </em><em>have synthesized  the alien roots of radicalism, Marxism, Utopian soc</em><em>ialism,  syndicalism, the French Revolution, with their own conditions </em><em>and  experiences:”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So the reader concludes that an American radical is someone who
believes in collectivism and synthesizes the roots of Communism with
the origins of Liberty. What an exercise in semantical and mental
gymnastics. To equate liberty and authoritarianism as synonymous terms
is a perversion in and of itself. Ms. Rodham continues defining radical
in her own terms.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“A radical is one who advocates  sweeping changes in the existing laws and </em><em>methods of  government. These proposed changes are aimed at the roots of </em><em>political  problems which in Marxian terms are the attitudes and the behaviors </em><em>of men. Radicals  are not interested in ameliorating the symptoms of decay </em><em>but in  drastically altering the causes of societal conditions. Radicalism </em>“<em>emphasizes  reason rather than reverence, although Radicals have often been </em><em>the most  emotional and least reasonable of men.” </em><em>One of the  strongest strains in modern radicalism is the eighteenth </em><em>Century  Enlightenment’s faith in human reason and the possible perfecti</em><em>bility of men.  This faith in the continuing improvement of man was and is </em><em>dominated by  values derived from the French and American Revolutions and </em><em>profoundly  influenced by the Industrial Revolution.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>She herself defines radicalism under Marxian terms and correctly
points out that the origins of radicalism do indeed begin in the
Enlightenment. Her term the “perfectibility of men” is rather striking
considering that the object of Communism is to create the perfect man.
Also the original name of the Illuminati Order, the prototype of
Communism, was the Order of the Perfectibilists and that Adam
Weishaupt’s successor J. J. C. Bode went to The Grand Orient Lodge and
initiated the architects of the French Revolution into the order some
two years before the French Revolution began. This account is confirmed
in Bode’s personal diary and also in the book “Fire in the Minds of
Men”.</p>
<p>The author points out that radicalism often must be achieved through
non-radical means, chiefly operating inside the existing system. We
learn that the object of radicalism is power and it is obtained through
organization. The means to obtaining power is through conflict. It is
pointed out that …</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>Alinsky  argues that those who wish to change circumstances must </em><em>develop a  mass-based organization and be prepared for conflict. He is a </em><em>Neo-Hobbesian  who objects to the consensual mystique surrounding political </em><em>processes; for  him conflict is the route to power.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In short it is learned that through collective action in the form of
conflict can power be achieved. She expands on this concept in relation
to morality.</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>Alinsky  claims a position of moral relativism, but his moral context </em><em>is stabilized a  belief in the eventual manifestation of the goodness of </em><em>man. He believes  that if men were allowed to live free from fear and want </em><em>they would live  in peace. He also believes that only men with a sense of their own </em><em>worth an a  respect for the commonality of humanity will be able to create </em><em>this new world.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This is a repetition of the central theme in Machiavelli’s “The
Prince”, the end justifies the means. Morality then is subjective so
long as the object of creating a new world based on the commonality of
humanity also known as Communism. Not surprisingly the idea that the
ends justify the means is central in his 1971 work titled “Rules for
Radicals”. Interestingly this work was dedicated to what he referred to
as the original radical, Lucifer.</p><p>
Ms. Rodham focuses  on community organizing efforts in relation to the Alinsky Method  noting that it <em>has two distinct elements. </em>
<blockquote><p>“<em>One, the  “Alinsky-type protest” is “an explosive mixture of </em><em>rigid  discipline, brilliant showmanship, and a street fighters instinct </em><em>for ruthlessly  exploiting his enemies weakness.” The second, modeled </em><em>after trade  union organization methods, involves the hard work of rec</em><em>organizing  interests, seeking out indigenous leaders, and building an </em><em>organization  whose power is viewed as legitimate by the larger com</em><em>unity.” </em></p></blockquote>
<p>So the elements then are staged theatrical protests, prying on your
enemies weaknesses, and identifying indigenous leaders so as to appear
legitimate to the community that you are trying to organize. This idea
is repeated in the following excerpt that defines the criteria of an
Alinsky organization.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>(a) It is rooted in the local tradition, the local
indigenous leader ship, the local organizations and agencies, and, in
short, the local people. </em></p>
<p><em> (b) Its energy or driving force is generated by the
self-interest of the local residents for the welfare of their children
and themselves. </em></p>
<p><em> (c) Its program for action develops hand in hand with the organ
Ization of the community council. The program is in actual fact that
series of common agreements which results in the develop ment of the
local organization. </em></p>
<p><em> (d) It is a program arising out of the local people carrying
with it the direct participation of practically all the organizations
in a particular area. It involves a substantial degree of indi vidual
citizen participation; a constant day to day flow of vol unteer
activities and the daily functioning of numerous local com mites
charged with specific short term functions. </em></p>
<p><em> (e) It constantly emphasizes the functional relationship
between prob lems and therefore its program is as broad as the social
horizon of the community. It avoids, at all costs, circumscribed and
seg mental programs which in turn attract the support of only a seg
ment of the local population. </em></p>
<p><em> (f) It recognizes that a democratic society is one which
responds to popular pressures, and therefore realistically operates on
the basis of pressure. For the same reason it does not shy away from
involvement in matters of controversy. </em></p>
<p><em> (g) It concentrates on the utilization of indigenous
individuals, who, if not leaders at the beginning, can be developed
into leaders. </em></p>
<p><em> (h) It gives priority to the significance of self-interest. The
organ Ization itself proceeds on the idea of channeling the many
diverse forces of self-interest within the community into a common dir
ection for the common good and at the same time respects the autonomy
of individuals and organizations. </em></p>
<p><em> (i) It becomes completely self-financed at the end of
approximately Three years. This not only testifies to its
representative character In that the local residents support their own
organization finan cially, but insures to the local council the acid
test of ide pendence: “the ability to pay one’s way”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The over arching theme is the rule and representation of the
collective by its indigenous leaders, whether real or developed. The
power lies in mob rule. This is precisely what a democracy is. Our
founders understood that a democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding
what is for dinner. That is why we are founded as a Republic and not as
a democracy as Ms. Rodham falsely believes. The term democracy in fact
appears nowhere in our founding documents.</p>
<p>The point of the preceding analysis is to reveal the motivation and
methodology of the modern collectivist. Through understanding their
means and motives, we can safeguard our liberty from the mob waiting to
tear this great nation to pieces. Communism has taken many forms
throughout the last few hundred years and it ideology is rooted in
antiquity. It is not a monolithic form and is always changing to the
needs of the groups it represents. It has been called Illuminism,
radicalism, democracy, socialism, syndicalism, and lately communism. It
is not for the benefit of the people but is the tool of totalitarian
oligarchical control. If you need any verification of this, then
consider why all ten pillars of the Communist Party destroy the
freedoms and rights of the individual in the name of the collective but
transfer it to the banks and the state. Who in their right mind would
advocate for such a thing?</p>
<blockquote><p><em>1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.</em></p>
<p><em>2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.</em></p>
<p><em>3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.</em></p>
<p><em>4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.</em></p>
<p><em>5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means
of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.</em></p>
<p><em>6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.</em></p>
<p><em>7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by
the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the
improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.</em></p>
<p><em>8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.</em></p>
<p><em>9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a
more equitable distribution of the population over the country.</em></p>
<p><em>10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition
of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of
education with industrial production. </em></p></blockquote>

<p><strong>I come across so many photos of people dealing with their daily lives, and I love the authentic image you achieve when the person is not &quot;posing&quot;.&#160; I don&#39;t know if I should waste them in just my Blog, or if I should start a new Photography Group that deals with the expressions conveyed through the human condition.&#160; What do you think?&#160; You can have taken the photos yourself, or just found some touching ones on the internet.&#160; It would almost be like &quot;Street Photography&quot;, where the person doesn&#39;t know they are being shot.&#160; I LOVE the expressiveness of the human face.&#160; Just for example, when Swissair Flight 111 crashed here in 1998 and the loved ones began to arrive, I couldn&#39;t believe the multitude of expressions.&#160; Some I didn&#39;t even know the face could make.&#160; An honor to have worked on that disaster for 4 months in the morgue, and I am humbled and not the same person I was before those 229 people &quot;evaporated&quot;.&#160; Expressions are very important to me, and that&#39;s why I wanted a good digital camera with a zoom that would stay steady.&#160; You only have a fleeting moment to catch an expression....rather like chasing after butterflies...and I think it would make for a very interesting new photography Group.&#160; What do you all think?&#160; Would you take part in it?</strong></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
