Democrats are struggling to regain their composure after the loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat to Republican Scott Brown. The infighting began nearly immediately as the moderates recognized the danger signs issued by an aware and angry public and many have begun to walk and talk “moderate”. Of course the Progressive left, including the President, have attempted to counter that by claiming that loss was simply the people’s Pavlovian response to unemployment and the faltering economy. In fact, many Progressives and their lap-dogs in the Liberal Press are trying to convince Democrats in volatile States that it was Congress’s inability to pass sweeping healthcare reform legislation containing a strong public option that has angered America and that their seats are only in danger if they don’t press on and get the job done.
The President knows this isn’t true and even though he is still pressing for the passage of his full agenda, he realizes that it means the loss of the Democratic majority in November’s elections. To Obama, the loss of the majority means little as long as the Progressive agenda is put into play because he knows once it is enacted, it can not be rescinded; that America will be saddled with these new programs for all of eternity, that is, until the real Progressive goal post is reached….the collapse of Capitalism.
Progressives have had a grand strategy for decades to slowly infiltrate society so that they can frame the arguments and create the conditions that will forward their agenda. If you read my article on Saul Alinsky that was posted to this blog yesterday, you can see that strategy enunciated in his own words; words that Barack Obama taught to unsuspecting students at The University of Chicago Law School; words that Obama put into practice in the streets of Chicago as a community organizer. I know that the media denigrates anyone that tries to make the Obama – Alinsky connection or questions the President’s motives as being anything more that just run-of-the-mill liberalism but this President’s career and first term in office have been a carbon copy of Alinsky’s game plan and can be followed line by line in Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals”.
The President ran a campaign based on the need for change. He made the case based on the nation’s anger with George Bush’s policies and the out of control spending policies of a partisan Congress that what we needed was a “fundamental transformation” of America. He stood on a platform of hope and spoke to the best ideals of the American people.
Well, Alinsky’s strategy begins with the notion that radicals should not wear fatigues and shout obscenities; they should wear suits and “speak the language of middle America”. He also believed that organizers, when properly trained, could create anger in the poor communities and that these angry citizens would then become the “foot soldiers of change”. Alinsky believed that organizers must infiltrate churches, schools, organizations and yes, even politics, so that they then would be in a position to steer the national conversation to Progressive matters. He felt that if you were in a position to frame the questions that you could illicit the answers you want and make you believe it was your idea; that false support for a coerced agenda would make people feel that they were finally making a difference; that it was their hopes that were shaping policy and be blinded to the truth that the organizers were shaping them. He truly believed that the Progressive revolution was a revolution of small steps and that by achieving these small goals, the ultimate goal could eventually be reached; the demise of Capitalism.
So now we have Obama, the champion of change, the organizer that speaks the language of Middle America. He has capitalized on a healthcare crisis created in Congress and now has us all discussing the changes that must take place to correct the problem. Just to refresh the facts, the healthcare system would be fine if Congress hadn’t assumed the responsibility for 50% of all healthcare expenditures in the United States through Medicare and Medicaid. They not only spend half the health dollars in America but are in fact, the most corrupt of all insurers, routinely short paying doctors and hospitals for their services. That is why private insurance has skyrocketed. Hospitals must shift the portion of the bill that Congress won’t pay to someone who will. Since they can’t charge Medicare and Medicaid more, they charge you.
Private insurance can’t ignore 40% of the bill the way the Federal government does so it must raise what it charges you. Alinsky said organizers must frame the questions to get the answers they want and President Obama has done just that, forcing all of America to argue over what industry reforms are needed rather than whether reforms would be needed at all if it were not for an irresponsible government.
Obama taught Alinsky theory in college and after a brief three years as the Junior Senator from Illinois, the Progressive machine grouped behind him and he was elected President. If that is not a classic example of the infiltration of the political process that Alinsky inspired, I don’t know what is. Obama has his foot soldiers too…the poor communities that he inspired through his organizing efforts. The ACCORNs and other Cloward-Pivens type organizations that were also founded to “fundamentally transform” the United States. Obama has also tried to infiltrate the schools several times; the latest attempt is through his website, “Organizing for America”. They have an intern program for high school student to teach them….well, organizing and wouldn’t you know, one of the books on the suggested reading list is “Rules for Radical” by Saul Alinsky. How much more of this needs to be seen before we stop asking how people can claim that Obama is a radical socialist and start asking how did we not see this before?
Of course the President cannot do this alone and that is where the Progressive movement comes in. Congress already has 80+ openly Progressive members that regularly attend meetings in the Congressional Progressive Caucus and there are more in the shadows. To tell you the truth…I would like to see C-Span cameras in those meetings more than I would in the healthcare debate. If we could see the real intent of those minions of Marx, the healthcare reform and cap and trade (energy bill) agenda would be exposed for what it is and would be rejected without adieu.
There are Democrats, there are Republicans and there are Progressives. Progressive is not a nice word at all. It was founded during an age when the enlightened (the old Progressives of the Progressive Era) believed in eugenics; that you could breed a perfect human being. Having perfect human beings would give you the right to eliminate “less than perfect” human beings and many in the Progressive movement of the 20’s and 30’s believed just that.
No, the Modern Progressives don’t believe in breeding perfect humans or the notion exterminating the rest but they do believe in educating an elite class of rulers that will shepherd the masses because the non-educated and politically ignorant “peasant class” cannot possible be capable of making those decisions for themselves. That is why they are crafting legislation that will allow the government to make your must fundamental choices for you; what kind of healthcare you will receive, how much energy you will consume and even what kind of foods you will eat. There will be no mandates to enforce these things; those will come after the collapse of Capitalism. All of this will be achieved through the liberal use of the existing tax structure that will force you to make the choices they deem are good by making bad choices beyond your ability to afford. They already know they can because we sat still for the myriad of “sin” taxes they have already put in place on tobacco and alcohol. Why should cheeseburgers, gasoline and electricity be any different?
The one thing Progressives cannot do is carry out their agenda in public. Every time the Progressive agenda was made public in the past, it drove them underground until the political climate changed again. To be victorious, they must keep their real goals secret. I challenge you to read Alinsky and study Cloward and Piven. You will be as shocked as I was to see the parallels between the President, our most liberal members of Congress and the strategies laid out by Saul Alinsky. It’s time to turn the flood lights on the Progressive agenda so the American people can assume their rightful place as the leaders of our nation again. The intent of the founders was a citizen legislature that bowed to the will of the people; not the creation of a ruling class of elitist socialists.
