Obama Using Public Schools To Recruit Agenda Advancing Interns

  • Bookmark and Share

A rather disturbing document surfaced on the Internet Saturday with grave implications concerning how the Obama administration is recruiting interns from public schools to assist in advancing the President's agenda along with his desire to get Democrats including himself elected.

Even scarier, the internship application recommends participants read Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

According to Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, this document was passed out in an eleventh grade class in Massillon, Ohio:

An Atlas reader, Chuck, has a student in the eleventh grade in an Ohio High School. Her government class passed out this propaganda recruiting paper so students could sign up as interns for Obama's Organizing for America. 

Here's the scary overview:

In week one, this is the recommended reading list:

Nice. Let's get America's youth to read Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals!"

For those thinking this might be a ruse, the OFA website does indeed address this program. This was posted on January 13 in the site's Community Blogs:

Don't Miss Out: OFA's Spring 2010 National Organizing Internship
 Earn credit for school and help change the world!

From his earliest years as an elected official, President Obama has encouraged young Americans to believe that their efforts can change their world for the better.  If you are passionate about reviving the economy, making the United States a global leader in clean energy, and want to be on the frontlines of political change, apply for an OFA internship today. No prior experience is necessary. Spring Semester Internships are currently available with Organizing for America - Nevada.

Apply for a Spring 2010 internship before the January 31st deadline by filling out this application.

Learn how grassroots organizing can win an election, impact policy, or change a neighborhood. Take an active role in advancing key legislation including reform in health insurance, energy, education and more.

The online application reads:

Organizing for America-Nevada is currently accepting applicants for our Spring Internship. Interns will work jointly with our Regional Field Directors to build a strong grassroots network across Nevada, and help us to pass President Obama's legislative agenda. Activities will include recruiting and managing volunteers, organizing service and press events, voter contact activities, voter registration, and administrative support work. You need not be a student to apply. Credit is available at most schools, but it is the sole responsibility of the student to make the arrangements. Applications will be accepted through January 31st, 2010 for Spring term. The internship will last until the end of Spring term, and Interns commit to at least 12 hours per week. 

The following was posted at Environment Link on January 8:

Organizing for America (OFA) has two priorities: (1) organize support for President Obama’s policy agenda, and (2) build and strengthen the grassroots organization we built during the 2008 campaign by training and empowering people to have an impact in their own communities.  The most important thing OFA does is build support for and educate citizens about President Obama’s policies for change.

Our national internship program will connect students all over the country with our organization already on the ground — working to make the change we fought so hard for a reality.

The internship will last from January 11-May 7, but the start and end dates are obviously flexible based on a school’s schedule.

The internship requires a minimum of 12 hours per week, and would be based out of our Seattle office.

Clearly this is a real program recruiting students from coast to coast. Readers are highly encouraged to review all the pages of this application at Atlas Shrugs.

Exit question: Is this something that should be happening at public schools funded with tax dollars, and isn't this a question media members should be asking?

Why would the majority of the msm report this tactic...Indoctrination 101 once again at tax-payers expense...they won't, it's fine with them, it's their agenda as well, for all we know the majority of them were like Hillary, reared themselves on Alinsky-Rules for Radicals, if they weren't, most of them are close enough to it anyway via their buddies they work with along with job security....

Nope...the internet is going to have to do the work and spread the message, which I will do my small part.

Furious indeed, BT. Who else has tried to transform their societies based upon ideological principles, and what did they all -- without exception -- use during those transformations to explain and support their madness?

Mao Zedung -- the Little Red Book

Barrack Obama -- Rules for Radicals

Is there any doubt left as to this man's true intent? I didn't think it was possible for Americans to elect -- ELECT -- a person to destroy them. Color me dumbfounded!

I wonder if obama -- on his own volition, without prompting -- will denounce the use of his name in this manner with the same outrage as he did with the leather coat advertisement a few weeks ago?

This absolutely frightening.

This absolutely frightening. The way to combat this is through our local school boards. We have to get involved and voice our opposition to this kind of propaganda. Americans will fight when they realize their freedom is at stake. The townhall meetings and the Tea Party comes to mind. We need to get in their face to use BHO's famous line. Wow, just wow!

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart

Absolutely true

4 years ago in a medium sized school district in California a 28 year old college doctorate student won a seat. He did not spend 1 cent on campaigning or do any campaigning. He was last on the ballot of 6 with instructions to vote for 3. Fortunantly he was not a loon. He served and did not seek reelection. I am going to do research and if I can find a link will post in Forum section.

This story will never see the light of day on a MSM broadcast,

and even if someone like Beck got a hold of it, this will never be traced back to Obama himself.  Some low-level official in the administration will just fall on his sword instead and the offending Alinksy material dismissed as an "oversight."

I have a better idea

"If you are passionate about reviving the economy, making the United States a global leader in clean energy, and want to be on the frontlines of political change, apply for an OFA internship today."

Better yet, get a job and vote. You'll do a lot more.

Fortunately, few high

Fortunately, few high school students vote.  So, they will not be participating in the next election.  Besides, as dismal as the output is from our public schools (50%+ fail to earn a high school diploma), what kind of "product" do these leftist radicals think they will get? 

But, let's say they get all they can from these students.  Was it going on in the elections in VA, MA, NJ?  If so, bring it on!  Those were abject failures for the dimocrats.

Interestingly, they are recruiting in Nevada.  Given Dingy Harry's poll numbers, the Las Vegas dog catcher will beat this guy come November.  He has negative poll numbers above 50% with any of the three Republican contenders predicted to clean his clock per a recent poll.

 

This is a time when parents

This is a time when parents have to explain to their young 'uns what this maniac is all about. 

During the election my childrens schools held mock elections and bHo won.  My youngest, 7, voted for "not the old guy" and my 12 year old abstained because she didn't like either, most likely because she heard me ranting about them. 

After bHo won I explained to them that he was trying to ruin their futures with the excess spending and bad policies they were none too pleased with him as well.

Parents will have to

Parents will have to explain that socialism isn't being on Facebook or Myspace. Don't expect that their public school teachers explained it

Is this project being actively and officially promoted in public high schools across America?  The details at the Atlas website are a little murky.

The recruitment of college volunteers has been occurring for some time and is hardly "news".  The practice may raise legitimate questions [I would hope that Republican/conservative organizations are granted the same opportunites including school credits] but what may be just as disturbing as the OFA agemda are the reactions to it at FoxNation.

Jer

I just mailed a link to this story to everyone on my list..

Including Mark Levin, Doc Savage, et al...

This rules for radicals crap says it all to anyone with ears.

There ain' no spinnin' that.

 

islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

I dunno Slick...

There's just something about telling them to read Rules for Radicals that kinda bothers me.  And going after High School kids is just plain wrong.

 According to Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, this document was passed out in an eleventh grade class in Massillon, Ohio.

I've never seen anything as scary as this in the past recruitment of interns from either party.

So...I take it that the Rules for Radicals thing doesn't bother you? You're OK with that?

 

islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

Oh nonsense Jer.  You

Oh nonsense Jer.  You acknowledge that there is at least a legitimate concern - OFA is inextricably linked to Obama as his campaign organization - yet you feel it necessary to come up with a completely unrelated remark about comments from FoxNation?  

That's a tired old red herring. 

Why don't you splutter on about Darth Cheney, No Blood for Oil, or 'Bush lied, people died' while you're at it?  I'm surprised you didn't spell it "FauxNation".  We'll have to mark off style points on that one.

Red herring?  Unrelated

Red herring?  Unrelated remark.  Maybe if I were linking comments about Obama's health care proposals.  I noted my concerns regarding the OFA program.  And the referenced replies--which, btw, I wasn't hunting but were too obvious to overlook--were beyond-the-pale reactions explicitly and directly related to the topic of the blog.  ["Obama...Drop Dead" "Monster", "Anti-Christ", "Hitler", "Wasn't Hitler taken out"? etc.]

I've "spluttered" plenty about my disgust with BDS and the "Darth Cheney/Bush lied" crowd.  I'll also splutter about ODS when I come acrosss it and it's relevant.  And both of those latter conditions were met in this case.

Jer

Jer

Jer, you're full of it, as usual.

You called the FoxNation reactions disturbing. I counted approximately 60 comments on that page alone. One said, "Dear Obama.... (drop dead)", one, "... but then, wasn't Hitler taken out?" (oh, sooo disturbing) and hey, I'll throw in a third Disturbing Lite one, the commenter who referred to him as a "black man" and that he might want to take this country down as a sort of pay-back (terrible, I know...)

That's three disturbing one's by Jer The Deflector's definition, of course, and 57 ones that rightfully see Hitler in this man after being genuinely frightened by this OFA action, as you, myself, all of us should be. That's 5% that may have been a bit disturbing.

But, well, you're dragging me down this dumb path, which is my own weakness.

As others are pointing out, what in the WORLD does some other site's comments section have to do with this deplorable revelation of what Team Obama is up to?

You really don't give a crap that we have a scary SOB, do-anything-to-win-elections, thug running things these days. Sad.

 

So referring to the

So referring to the President as the "Anti-Christ" is not disturbing to you?

There were far more than "three", Shy.

Jer 

Jer, it doesnt bug me, its

Jer, it doesnt bug me, its just a name and inside we should know who we are and not worry about what teh rest of the world thinks.  One trait I admired in President Bush is he could care less about what the world thinks about him personally.  He still doesnt worry about it.  A Christian secure in his place with God doesnt have to worry about such things.

Duh Vain One on the other hand is too much involved in what otehrs think about him.  The difference between dullness and greatness.

Jer

Again, why did you bring up what people are writing in some comment section in the vast blogosphere on some other site? Help me out.

What we all say in a free country about our feelings of our POTUS is not disturbing, and has gone on for forever -- and again, what I saw overall was quite mild on the actual disturbing/vitriolic scale of people railing on a president. That our POTUS is using brainwashing tactics in our High Schools is the disturbing thing. Non?

 

MrShy...

I would be very upset if it were being actively and selectively promoted by public high school administrations and faculties.

What we all say in a free country about our feelings of our POTUS is not disturbing, and has gone on for forever.

Funny.  I never heard or saw that stated very much when the right was wringing its hands [with justification], and continues to do so, over the anti-Bush rantings of the left.

Jer

Jer

To the former, that tells me all I need to know. This was no big deal to you.

To the latter, you're avoiding giving me an answer to my question of how comments by others -- on an entirely different site AND to an unrelated issue (one about Team Obama... get ready for this... also indoctrinating in colleges) and dating back to August, 2009 -- has anything to do with this. It has nothing to do with this... is the answer.

 

MrShy...

You may not have liked my answer, but I did answer.  In any event, since you've already determined the final answer, I guess it's settled.

Re your opening paragraph, I don't understand it.

Jer

Like I said, "part red

Like I said, "part red herring".  I could go with "all the way red herring" if I must.  Just because something may be related doesn't mean it's relevant.  The comments are irrelevant Jer.  The story is the relevant item and you're just trying to distract from it with...wait for it...

...Fringe comments on a website!  

OH THE HUMANITY!!! 

Be honest with yourself Jer because you're not fooling anyone.

Jer

Employing your standard device of arguing, anything can be spun to be "murky".

Jer, the resident NB "centrist" and flamer, to no one's surprise -- those who really know how he operates -- pipes in on this flat-out frightening revelation of another of Team Obama's galling campaigning tactics, with the latest installment of Jer Presents Distractions and an Equivalency Argument to Minimize the Seriousness of an Issue (Not Because He's Stupid, But Because He May Just Be Kind of Evil.)

And yes, we thank Fair & Balanced Jer for pointing us to the good, rightfully scared and disturbed readers at FoxNation. They are indeed just as disturbed as we are by this.

You really need to learn where to draw the line on being contrary just to be contrary. You certainly passed it on this one.

 

E-e-e-ew-w-w-w-w- spooky...

Yeah, those comments on FoxNation really were threatening and scary.  Someone misspelled Fuhrer, whoop-de-doo!  Fog still not lifting from your mind, Jer?

One of them called him a "black man". Serious. Called him an angry black man wanting revenge on the nation, or something to this effect. REALLY. I'll go find it for you! Do you want me to? I will. I really found this comment in that disturbing pile of comments. 

Disturbing, utterly disturbing. That's really where we need to focus. Jer's right. 

Move along, people. We have bigger fish to fry. Just ask Jer.

Having heart palpitations.  Just a sec...there chewed a baby aspirin, all better now.

BO STINKS

I confess, we, staunch Republicans and conservatives that we are, do tend to rage a bit too much, and blow things out of proportion, and, as we all know, inherently want to bring a black man down from his pedestal, etc., etc., and it's a good thing we have a Jer here and a Jer there to bring some perspective to everything.

(sarc-off switch not required) 

 

Guess Jer doesnt mind what the Gov tell us to think?

Just as long as privet institutions (like Fox Nation) dont. 11th grade,, makes them old enough to vote in 12'. So the Fed dont like privet folks being able to show their support for a candidate, judging by the SC decision this past week, but the Fed can recruit and run programs and special interest groups solely to get the left in office. Nice,,,,, 

Also cool how Jer hopes conservatives will get the same opportunity to get their message out to the kids. Never mind the constitution specifically discourages this, but we all know the left would never allow the Right fair opportunity either.

If this is true, Obama and his cronies are through

What do you mean the constitution "specifically discourages this"?  I don't understand the statement.  If the activity is constitutionally permissable,  it's permissable for all similarly situated entities--regardless of politics.  If constitionally proscribed, it's permissable for nobody.

Jer

Go Saints!

Well is it?

  If the activity is constitutionally permissable,

And where does it allow a single Party to have access to our kids Jer. The First and Tenth Amendments make it clear they need our permission at the very least. 

Do you think other political parties will be given equal access?

If you'll note in one of my earlier posts, I specifically said both parties should be treated equally and allowed the same access and opportunity.

And if one is being treated unfairly, they both should be banned.

Jer

Checked the link, Jer---

Saw nothing I would consider untoward.

One poster did carp about having his prior posts pulled.

What did you see that was disturbing, other than people bitching about the pos prez?

MD

matthewdean...

If you didn't find the Hitlerian--and assorted other vile--references to Bush "untoward" [I did!], then I'll simply assume you aren't bothered by any epithets being hurled at a sitting US President.

On the other hand, if you were upset by such references to Bush, then I'll simply assume that as far as you're concerned, it all boils down to politics.

Jer

Jer---

Bush is (and as President, was) a good man.  Not perfect as President, to be sure, but a civil indivdual.

That is why the name calling was not proper.

The current temporary camper in the Oval Office is a p.o.s.

He is a liar, a fraud, a phony, a non-church goer as of late, and as a politician at that level, dangerous.

And those are just the good things he has going for himself lately. 

As far as I'm concerned, there are'nt enough sufficiently insulting words in my Funk & Wagnalls to describe your boy.            

Just so you don't get the impression that I am prejudiced only against the Bamster, the One, the Messiah; I feel that liar, fraud, phony, and dangerous describes just about all of the Lib-Dems, and way too many Republicans currently engaged in "working for the American citizen."

It is to laugh.

MD

matthew...

Interesting.  I heard the same rationale advanced by the Bush-haters to justify their verbal assaults against him.

Is there any line you would draw with respect to anti-Obama vitriol?  How about a wish he would drop dead this instant?  Okay by you?

Finally, would you mind naming two or three of these very few Lib-Dems whom you don't consider to be "liars", "frauds", "phonies", and "dangerous"?  Just curious.

Jer  

Jer---

It is not so much a rationale for me as it is a ratiocination.

Always liked Evan Bayh, though he follows a bit too closely in his fathers' footsteps.  Having said that, I can respect him if that is a way of honoring his dad.

I like Joe Lieberman.  Officially an Independent, but liberal to the core.  He is, however, a gentleman.

I heard a couple things out of Diane Feinsteins mouth that surprised me because I agreed with her, but honestly, I believe you could swap her with Pelosi, and Pelosi with Boxer, and then Boxer with Feinstein, and few people would notice anything being different.

I am sure there are some additional good people floating around in the Donkey brigade; they just don't get camera face time.

To answer the three questions you posed in your second paragraph:

1.   There is no line I would draw with respect to anti-Obama vitriol. None. I have made my feelings clear about this guy many times over on these threads.  Name calling is words, nothing more.

2. & 3.   I remember the thread where you initially got your feelings hurt and then got flaming mad over the comment about you being put to death by jihadists and the poster said something about listening to your screams as you died.

I understand why you got mad, but I also understand what that poster was saying and why he said it.

So your second and third questions may be a bit loaded in regard to "wishing" death on someone, as I saw your reaction in that thread.

Do not take what I say personally; remember I do not think as you do; and remember that you asked the questions.

You, as a lawyer, and as a reasonably intelligent person, know that making a statement reference causing harm or worse to a sitting president not only can, but will, cause some serious grief to the person making that statement.

I may be old Jer, but I ain't stupid.

Wishing for something is a waste of time.  

If, however, he dropped dead from natural causes, it would not bother me in the least. 

MD    

 

matthew...the rhetoric of hate

It is not so much a rationale for me as it is a ratiocination.

Not familiar with ratiocination, but I'll look it up.  Enjoy learning new words.

Always liked Evan Bayh, though he follows a bit too closely in his fathers' footsteps.  Having said that, I can respect him if that is a way of honoring his dad.

Same here.  Bayh was my first choice to be the Democratic nominee.

I heard a couple things out of Diane Feinsteins mouth that surprised me because I agreed with her, but honestly, I believe you could swap her with Pelosi, and Pelosi with Boxer, and then Boxer with Feinstein, and few people would notice anything being different.

I believe Feinstein would be a dramatic improvement over Pelosi if the former were in the House rather than Senate.  For that matter, I believe just about anyone would be an improvement over Pelosi.

1.   There is no line I would draw with respect to anti-Obama vitriol. None. I have made my feelings clear about this guy many times over on these threads.  Name calling is words, nothing more.

But (presumably) there are lines you would readily draw with regard to Bush--even though they're "just words, nothing more".  Understood.

2. & 3.   I remember the thread where you initially got your feelings hurt and then got flaming mad over the comment about you being put to death by jihadists and the poster said something about listening to your screams as you died.

I understand why you got mad, but I also understand what that poster was saying and why he said it.

I confess to being upset that another poster stated he would have rejoiced in my death and enjoyed witnessing my sexual mutilation.  But I suppose I was just over-sensitive.  I also noticed you were admonishing someone earlier tonight for merely suggesting another poster was possibly a "hypocrite".  And I can assure you, if a lib had said the things to a conservative poster which were said to me [the death wishes], he would be bounced off this site quickly and permanently.

edited to update:  BTW, if you "understand why he said it" then please clue me in, because I still don't know.  My 'offense' was to express the view that our presumed WOT policy was to kill the terrorists overseas so we wouldn't have to deal with them here [a policy with which I heartily agree].  That provoked the death wish diatribe.  Please explain.  It has always mystified me.


You, as a lawyer, and as a reasonably intelligent person, know that making a statement reference causing harm or worse to a sitting president not only can, but will, cause some serious grief to the person making that statement.

True, with respect to direct threats.  Wishing for the demise, or merely speculating that things would be better if it happened--probably not.  That doesn't mean I believe the latter expressions are appropriate or inoffensive, or that I'm off base in voicing my objections.  I did so when Bush was in office, and I'll no doubt do so from time to time when Obama is the target.

Jer

Jer---

If I draw no lines on vitriol flung at Obama, I would be the worst kind of hypocrite to say things like that should not be aimed in the direction of a politico I favor.  If I am going to dish it out, I had best be prepared to take return shots in kind.

That is reference a one on one debate. 

 As far as statements made by others about GW Bush that are, shall we say, less than flattering, especially remarks about his intelligence, I just smile inwardly because I know he got better grades than Gore or Kerry, and the man flew a fighter jet.  He is not dumb.

If nasty things are said about a politician I favor (Bush), I figure that is part of the rough and tumble of politics.  No one makes a person run for office.  It does'nt mean, however, that I am going to applaud the mans' opponents for saying what I consider nasty stuff.  I just revert back to fourth grade and call their guy nasty names back.

I am totally at sea reference the admonishment I administered to someone earlier for merely suggesting another poster was possibly a hypocrite --?  You lost me on that one.

As far as wishing bad things on others; yes, I have, waste of time.

Does it make me feel bad that I did so?  No.

Make me feel particularly good that I did so?  No. 

To coin a phrase, it is what it is.

'Preciate your post.

MD

Jer---

To answer "I understand why he said it":

Cannot quote you, but I remember thinking that you either did not understand, did not care, or maybe were being flippant regarding the multitudinous horde of Islamic jihadists who want to drink American blood.

Or, it might have been a liberal zinger that set him off. /sarc. 

If you want to go to the trouble of locating that thread, I'll go back too, and we can hash it out.

What the hey, I'm retired.

It'll help keep me out of the bars.

MD

Matthew...

My post was something to the effect of "I thought the whole idea was to kill the terrorists over there, so they wouldn't kill us over here."  [I'll find the actual quote later, but that's close.]

So, I fail to see how that could be interpreted as "not understanding", or "not caring" or "being flippant about the jihadists who want to drink American blood."  I bet I've posted fifteen times since I've been at NB how much of a hawk I am with respect to the WOT.

And, to top it off, my remark wasn't even addressed to the guy who said "my screams would be music to his ears."

Please, Matthew, explain to me how and why you "understood" his sentiments about wishing I were dead and castrated.

Jer

Easy there, Jer---

Let us not start up with that whole gd mess again.

What I understood, was that he felt he had to come back stronger at you because you apparently were not seeing the threats from jihadists that he was seeing.

Clear on that?

I have absolutely no f'ing idea why he felt it was necessary to make comments about you being dead and castrated, though I am starting to get an inkling.   (SARCASM, Jer, SARCASM, ok?)

The poster undoubtedly believes, as I do, that if jihadists take us over, it is quite likely that failure to convert to Islam will result in horrible things being perpetrated on us.

I am sure that is why he mentioned things--

Like castration.  Like beheading.  Like death.

Personally, I would prefer the beheading took place before the castration thing.

MD

 

Matthew...

Let us not start up with that whole gd mess again.

I'm with you there, pal.  So, after this post, I'll drop it.  But, ftr, you were the one who brought it up again on this thread.  And it was bothersome that you said you understood why the poster said what he did.  I think I deserved an explanation for that remark.

What I understood, was that he felt he had to come back stronger at you because you apparently were not seeing the threats from jihadists that he was seeing.

Clear on that?

Not entirely.  Not only was my exchange with someone else which he interrupted, but the poster in question had been at NB longer than I had...we had had plenty of [amicable] interaction, and he should have been well aware of my very strong anti-terrrorism views, which were not moderated in the slightest by my comment which I quoted (or paraphrased) earlier. 

The poster undoubtedly believes, as I do, that if jihadists take us over, it is quite likely that failure to convert to Islam will result in horrible things being perpetrated on us.

As do I.

Personally, I would prefer the beheading took place before the castration thing.

Ditto.

Epilogue:  After that donnybrook, the poster PMed me and apologized.  Everything is cool between the two of us.

Exit question: Is this

Exit question: Is this something that should be happening at public
schools funded with tax dollars, and isn't this a question media
members should be asking? 

A.  Not no, but HELL, NO!

B. Why would they?  They're all members!

You gotta admit it's brilliant; recruiting these kids now and they'll all be ready to go for his reelection campaign!

 

And so the revolution

And so the revolution continues.

This story begs for more information: who is paying for this? Are Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and the rest of the Weather Underground major players in this project, as suggested by one of the Atlas Shrugged posters? How are local school facilitators chosen? Who are they? Are Obama campaign funds being used? Have school boards approved this program? if so, why? How did this get to be a national program with not a word about it in the MSM?

Come on, Beck, get on this.

Oh My

Well, we could always Cloward and Piven the fascists.  If everyone sent in an application it would take the commies quite a while to go through all of them.  Could send a copy to local media and ask them for a reference.

Perhaps O'Keefe would be better

off investigating this rather than worrying about Coakley's phones?  The phones seems like a tiny gnat compared with this example of fascism.

I LOVE this idea! Can the mother that provided the original hint post a copy of the pamphlet, so we can inundate OfA (anyone else notice that those initials also work for "Obama f's America"?) with applications. 

As bad as Alinsky and Cloward/Pivens are, we ought not ignore their teachings. We need to radicalize ourselves, and take America back from the brink. The founding fathers were radicals, why have we dropped that ball?

We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

I guess he has a lot of free time since everything is running so well in the country. Convince the kids this is just great and you build up your base, I guess.

Yes, but what about the green feathers?

Needs to be addressed. But not now. It is a trend.

Masini yes Obama is to blame, it is the organization set up for his election campaign and it was reformulated to promote his agenda.  It is funded by USA tax dollars and is now preying on young impressionable kids.

And you can bet ACORN and the National Education Association are working closely with this brainwashing program as they groom the next generation of community agitators and anarchists.

I'll sign up if that's the case! Besides, I think it would be tons of fun to do my small part to ruin the Democrats' plans from the inside.

I'll await...

...with gleeful anticipation, the first news media "story" featuring an "isn't their youthful activism adorable and inspirational" theme.

It's coming...you can bet a tattered copy of "Rules for Radicals" on that one.

This is right out of the

This is right out of the fascist playbook.  This is old hat.  How do you think they got away with it in Europe?  Same way.  I am not comparing President Imeme with Hitler, because in this screwed up country that automatically gets disregarded.  However, this is a quote from Hitler who understood as well as any about winning the hearts and minds of youth-- he once remarked "When an opponent says "I will not come over to your side,'  I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already....You will pass onYour descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.  In a short time they will know nothing but this new community.' "

So we in fact have seen this before historically.  What now are we going to do about it?

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Screw Alinsky

What are we going to do about it? The best defense is a good offense. The Tea Party Movement should begin an internship program, with the only required reading:

THE 5,000 YEAR LEAP

Which could be subtitled "Everything you need to know about how the Founders designed the government to work with minimal power at the federal level and maximum freedom for the citizens." 

Screw Alinsky. 

Even scarier, the

Even scarier, the internship application recommends participants read Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

Well, no $hit.

Any other conservatives out there still want to bash "crazy" Glenn Beck?  Most of us wouldn't even know about Saul Alinsky if it weren't for Beck.  I think once upon a time Hannity may have, but he seems to be more into enjoying getting celebs on his set than worring about the Bill Ayers types these days.

At least on the app they did mention that this group was once "Obama For America", but I think they did that just to forestall any controversey that (Fox News and sites like this...no worries from the lamestream media, of course) might erupt if they didn't mention that.

"Under Capitalism, man exploits man.  Under Communism it's just the opposite."

"All that Communism needs to make it successful is for someone to feed and clothe it."

Government schools exist for one reason, and one reason only

...and that reason is not to educate our nation's children, but to indoctrinate them into becoming compliant, non-complaining members of the proletariat - sheeple, if you will.

And tomorrow morning, the vast majority of parents in this country are going to pack off the most precious things in their lives and send them right back into the clutches of government agents, without so much as a second thought.

You see, it's not their government schools that are all screwed up, it's everybody else's.

Sadly...

You are exactly right.  Virtually any organization that Obama supports, NEA, SEIU...whatever the alphabet soup, they are radicals or have radical ties...beneath the surface or right in our faces.

And why in the HELL are we allowing/encouraging muslims from Somalia, Nigeria and other America hating countries to immigrate to the US?  

sigh... 

 

islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

Obama used children before to badger their parents for votes

Organizing for America | The Talk

Are you sure if your parents are voting for Obama? ... If you haven't already, it's time for you to have “The Talk” with your parents and other family ...

Fascism? You're soaking in it.

Obama very publicly bashed the Supreme Court's decision to let corporations be heard. Democrats stood up and cheered in the judges faces. The media gave him a pass by focussing on Alitos mild, and understandable, reaction. Obama is using his public office to promote his own political (and very radical) agenda - silence. It's because he already has the media.

 

And the RNC (wimps) don't want to be called obstructionist so I don't see them challenging this. 

Jer? I mean..."Slick"...

Wassup Slick?  Have you stumbled across something "Obama" that even you can't defend?

Answer my question.   Are you OK with Rules for Radicals being recommended reading for those that support Obama?

C'mon Slick...'fess up.

 

islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

This "Rules for Radicals" business---

shows that Obama is for America in much the way a wrecking ball is for a building scheduled to be demolished.

I was going to use some bad words with appropriately placed asterisks, but then I realized there just are no words to describe my hatred of this person and his objectives, and my anger, at both the duplicitous media and the ignorant fools that put this pos where he is.

Turtle on a fence post, indeed.

Army Brat...

What's with this "Slick" business?  I'm not saying it's profoundly offensive, but it is a little annoying.  I thought you may have mistakenly believed I first applied the term to you, but my pointing out that I didn't seems to have been immaterial.

If you'll give me a reasonable explanation--or preferably stop the practice altogether--I'll be more than happy to respond to your questions.

My question is, why aren't

My question is, why aren't WE making students read "Rules for Radicals" both to advance our agenda (the progressives have shown us it works!) and to learn how to derail their advancement. It's quite disgusting that our students are being recruited to advance the progressive agenda, but we need to get our message out there, and quit apologizing for our positions.

We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

What happens when Obama's

What happens when Obama's election goes down in a ball of flames and he's ousted? Will all these people turn into anti-[2012 president]? What are they going to do except learn rules for radicals? If Obama wants to save money, then he should shut this down right away, but I'm sure he won't.

Posted this on AsMaineGoes

and there was discussion, but I do not think people are sufficiently aware of the extent of the maoist leaning of the admin. I mean to put Alinsky's book on a reading list-did they check with the parents. Likely not and be sure that the new global history text books are not far behind.
