Quote of the day

“‘This isn’t goodbye,’ said the president, signing autographs and posing for pictures before leaving for his next appointment, ‘this is hello.’ His national security staff would have an open-door policy.
Believe . . . feel . . . hope.
We’d been had…
I asked Cmdr. Kirk Lippold why some of the Cole families declined the invitation to meet with Barack Obama at the White House.

Yes, FISH =Icky something (I remember because fish suffer from Ich)
I guess I meant the conservative movement – we don’t want to offend AP ;)
Upstater85 on May 9, 2009 at 3:13 AM
Oh, it gets better. Guess who also shares the Alinsky “vision”… surprise, surprise…
“In Hillary Clinton’s senior honors thesis at Wellesley College, Clinton noted that Alinsky’s personal efforts were a large part of his method.[8] She later noted that although she agreed with his notion of self-empowernment she disagreed with his assessment that the system could only change from the outside.[8] In her memoir, Living History, Hillary Clinton wrote that Alinsky offered her a job after she graduated from Wellesley College, but she chose instead to attend Yale Law School.”
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 3:13 AM
Yes. It’s the Sign of the Fish, when combined with the ichthys pictograph, a symbol for Christ.
Just me calling for some assistance, at the moment.
Loxodonta on May 9, 2009 at 3:15 AM
Loxondonta and the symbol. I agree and I understand.
By the way, in case you didn’t know, this is the dedication in Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”:
“From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 3:16 AM
OK >))))> ;)
Upstater85 on May 9, 2009 at 3:19 AM
In Hillary’s own words, she’s a proud progressive. I wonder if she would have forced Obama’s mother to be sterilized?
Upstater85 on May 9, 2009 at 3:20 AM
And with this, I am out. I have to wake up a little earlier tomorrow…
Goodnight and long live the Constitution!
Upstater85 on May 9, 2009 at 3:21 AM
You make me smile frequently, and not in an ichthy way.
So, our symbol, huh? And not ichthy us?
OK. A symbol for the conservative movement will take some time. I’ll ruminate until I can offer a suggestion, unless someone else can offer a simply fabulous idea.

I recall reading just the opposite repeatedly over the past few days. That we must be like them, use their tactics to win.
I cannot.

infidel4life, I like that. Matt 6:8
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 3:28 AM
Actually I was referring to part B of the verse, how our Father knows what we need before we even ask Him. May you find the assistance you are calling for.
infidel4life on May 9, 2009 at 3:29 AM
Loxondonta, No, we do not need to use their tactics, but we need to understand their tactics so we can see through them and defeat them. The TRUTH shall set us free.
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 3:29 AM
Amen. I like it too.

Can’t I just eat my waffle?
Loxodonta on May 9, 2009 at 3:34 AM
Have a waffle for me too, haven’t had a good one in ages…
infidel4life on May 9, 2009 at 3:37 AM
Neither have I. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had waffles or pancakes or maple syrup. At least 10 years. And crêpes, even longer. If I weren’t so tired, I’d be salivating.
So, it’s best that I sleep for a few hours.
Loxodonta on May 9, 2009 at 3:45 AM
Upstater85 has assigned me the task of dreaming up a symbol.
So, I best get to work.

Limerick: It has probably already been said upthread, but I see Janet Napolitano’s hand via Homeland Security in this ruling. She sees veterans and now obviously enlistees as a threat to the Obama New World Order.
onlineanalyst on May 9, 2009 at 5:29 AM
Why would he be released?
Tried and convicted yes, So let him claim that and give him notice he is still a POW and under the GC can be held for the duration of the war.
The only thing that would have changed his “status” is a death sentence.
DSchoen on May 9, 2009 at 6:14 AM
Loxodonta:
It does seem that the Obama administration and a good deal of the rest of the Democratic party is fuzzy on that whole second amendment doesn’t it?
As for the jest of this post, just turn these Gitmo loose people loose out here in the sticks. They will cease to be a problem.
Terrye on May 9, 2009 at 6:54 AM
I think the whole issue with being had is very telling. The American people are willing to give Obama a chance. They expect the state to step into the fray in times of emergency or peril to keep them safe and their world intact.
That is why most people did not initially have a big problem with Congress coming up with some kind of stimulus plan or even keeping the banking system functioning.
However, Americans really do not like or trust their political class and so the time invariably comes when they begin to think that someone is taking advantage of them or the situation or both.
I think that Obama might find himself facing that sooner than most presidents.
Terrye on May 9, 2009 at 6:58 AM
No, it’s like this.

& don’t forget her target of white teenage home schooled males, particularly from single parent Christian families (mother)–North Carolina Patriot Act, FBI arrested boy & searched home; he’s imprisoned in South Bend Ill with a Federal judge gag order–no bomb making evidence found, internet address account hijacked a viable defense, but not innocent until proven guilty, no access to legal counsel.
Demasculate young men striking fear in their hearts; render them impotent. What ever happened to the liberal mantra that any antisocial behavior in juveniles should be treated by psychologists? Yes, in prison while denied access to parents and legal counsel.
maverick muse on May 9, 2009 at 7:37 AM
I just followed a Drudge link to an article castigating Obama for cutting funding he voted for as a Senator–federal funding sent to States to help defray the cost of imprisoned illegal aliens. The program never provided more than 20% costs, but now that’s too rich for his budget.
Given the topic, I thought there’d be a thread of it @ HotAir.

A symbol of independence/federalism/states rights has been the “Don’t Tread on Me”, Gadsden flag. This symbol, the coiled rattlesnake, has received some attention lately as a symbol for local law enforcement to be on the lookout for as a possible “subversive” symbol. If thousands of people had this slogan/bumpersticker on their vehicles, it would send a clear message about limited government, low taxation/fiscal conservatism. I do not know if would promote a social conservative message, however. (just throwing out an idea that wouldn’t involve re-inventing the wheel).
Cindy of TX on May 9, 2009 at 8:51 AM
The article said he voted for Hillary’s bill, but it didn’t pass. So they’re for it so long as a GOP POTUS assumes payment in full, before they’re against it when it’s their own left unpaid.
No wonder Obama said he’d be called a cheap skate when he insisted on paying for his entire entourage’s burger order, adding a single $5. tip to the jar. HE IS A CHEAP SKATE. You saw him counting his money, as if he actually budgets ANYTHING. He just can’t let go of funds to do the Government’s business (national defense, infrastructure maintenance); hijacking tax dollars pirated to his own personal causes.
Given Obama’s abusive threats to CA, it is obvious that he will do all in his power to bankrupt each state and the entire nation in order to coerce us into his Federal Socialist Empire. The nerve of the federal government to legislate mandates requiring states to do anything without providing funds; wrong on both counts. Even had the feds provided funding, it is still wrong to mandate state obligations that are not Constitutional, and that are unconstitutional. To rescind and refuse funding is to repudiate the mandate. States are declaring sovereignty for the very reason that survival requires it.

That wasn’t a joke, idiot. It was analogous to represent the psychology of a group of people.

Our fellow Americans should note the Gonzales flag:

After reading Allah’s quote of the day, then the letter Limerick posted from the young sergeant and reflecting on the flurry of irresponsible and reckless legislation that has been signed in to law, I now conclude that the Chicago Thug, Berry Obama, is evil. The direction his regime has taken is nothing like what he described during his long campaign for our highest office. Combined with a minority GOP party who’s members are obsessed with keeping their own morsel of power rather than stand up for principles, I feel now, more than ever, we are screwed. Screwed to the wall.

Loxodonta on May 9, 2009 at 9:40 AM
WORDS: There are so many great words that can be drawn from through our history. But I have a fondness for the following:
Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.
We… will be remembered in spite of ourselves.
No personal significance or insignificance
can spare one or another of us.
The fiery trial through which we pass
will light us down in honor or dishonor,
to the latest generation.
We – even we here –
hold the power and bear the responsibility.
––––
The dogmas of the quiet past
are inadequate to the stormy present.
The occasion is piled high with difficulty,
and we must rise with the occasion.
As our case is new,
so we must think anew and act anew.
We must disenthrall ourselves
and then we shall save our country.
––––
It is the eternal struggle between two principles –
right and wrong – throughout the world.
It is the same spirit that says
‘You toil and work and earn bread,
and I’ll eat it’…
no matter in what shape it comes,
whether from the mouth of a king
who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation
and live by the fruit of their labor,
or from one race of men as an apology
for enslaving another race.
It is the same tyrannical principle.
––––
As I would not be a slave,
so I would not be a master.
This expresses my idea of democracy.
Whatever differs from this,
to the extent of the difference,
is no democracy.
––––
… that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain;
and that this nation
under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom,
and that government
of the people,
by the people,
and for the people
shall not perish from the earth.
– Abraham Licoln

Saltysam on May 9, 2009 at 9:49 AM
From We the People, all the way through; it’s fuzzy.
An infuriating characteristic of the American people, isn’t it? Almost as if we think we have inalienable rights to freedom, or something…
There’s nothing that makes a person grumpier than to wake up to discover one’s been robbed during one’s sleep, President Obama.
Loxodonta on May 9, 2009 at 9:50 AM

Beautiful inspiration.
Our young must learn from whom they came.
The MSM converted “Lincoln” into Obama,
obliterating the man, the record, the legacy.
Thank you for reviving the spirit through the word of truth.
/I so thrill with the onset of the Gospel:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.
Beyond the reference of the Messiah, the point is made that words have meaning, NOT to be corrupted at will by deceit, by the Deceiver.
maverick muse on May 9, 2009 at 10:00 AM

The Statue of Liberty was with me all night. I know of no other single image that better symbolizes America.
The Scare Force One image places the President above Liberty, overshadowing her, even threatening her. Liberty must be defended from this man.
Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Liberty stands tall, and never bows to potentates.

Secondly, I admire your sons letter. Even though he, and everyone that serves, and conservatives, have been pegged as potential threats to this country by the DHS…I admire his bravery, politeness, and restraint in his letter. Kudos to him.
I would love to know, why we are considered a threat, when Obama himself, is systematically shredding the constitution? This just makes my blood boil!!!

Hey, everyone! I had an idea last night (not being able to sleep per our lengthy discussion on these matters). This would have to be an Allah or Ed thing, but could we bring back that Understanding of the Koran thing (don’t remember what it was called), only this time do an Understanding the following in order:
1) Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. We could start with one a day and open it for places we see each happening. I think this would go a LONG way to battling the trolls as their tactics, once understood, are so pathetically veiled. (Witness Beck’s “guest” the other day after reading just a few of the “rules.)
2) Cloward-Piven Strategy Absolutely foundational to understanding what’s going on here and WHY.
3) The Progressive movement as a whole–starting in the 1913′s… check Beck’s stuff for more.
4) Delphi Techniques of organizers and facilitators
All of this dovetails into “we need to educate ourselves” not so we can fight back with THEIR tactics but so we can understand them and not be on the defensive all the time.
We can fight back with knowledge.

Saltysam on May 9, 2009 at 11:45 AM
I realize that I am an unusual case in point, hence the “maverick” identity. Nonetheless, Pope John Paul II addressed that issue all the time, to recognize and treasure the inner self in each man and in humankind, just as the faith of many was sparked anew and Americans reaffirmed their identity as “religious” rather than uncommitted. Just as his life’s service brought many people to THINK again, and for the thought to create the sensation of faith, I hope the very best for Pope Benedict XVI efforts to carry on the message of Peace. May he gain alliance from the thoughtful in the Middle East from all faiths. And may the tormented Christians around the world sense the gift of God’s love FROM US as well as from our Creator.
Saltysam on May 9, 2009 at 10:47 AM
It takes our concentrated unity to endure WITH our legacy intact. With God, all things are possible. But you are so right in defining the required integrity. It’s good to put it out there, the challenge. How else to confront the onslaught on our children (who are already adults)?
maverick muse on May 9, 2009 at 11:47 AM

maverick muse on May 9, 2009 at 11:59 AM
On the ACORN tactics, this is from a Hillary site, but it ties in with the connections I was making bleary-eyed at 3 in the morning:
“During the primaries, Hillary Clinton lost the state of Missouri by the smallest of margins because of ACORN mobilization for Dr. Utopia in the St. Louis area. Clinton won everywhere else, but ACORN delivered the cities for Dr. Utopia. People on the ground in Missouri tell us McCaskill is unpopular in the majority of the state, but that she won the cities in 2006 and that made her a Senator. ACORN worked for McCaskill in the cities. There is a pattern here.”
If you look up the Reid/Ensign battle in 1998, you will find the same thing: The whole state of counties is red (Ensign), two (the two most populous) went for Reid, who won the contest by 428 votes out of 900,000 cast. Interesting question… how many times is this happening? What other “elected” official got elected by the slimmest of vote counts where their greatest “support” was in the cities and at the courtesy of ACORN?
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 12:00 PM

You’re right to fight with the power of knowledge.
But do not expect fair play from Marxists, and be prepared to deflect their means right back at them. Otherwise, they take you down for the accommodation.
maverick muse on May 9, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Well, well, well… At one time I would have read this differently, but when you KNOW the strategy of Cloward-Piven coupled with Alinsky, does this surprise ANYONE (from the Florida ACORN site):
“On June 20th, ACORN released a national report focusing on the foreclosure epidemic sweeping the nation. The report singled out Florida as having the 7th highest foreclosure rate in the nation! Two Florida cities where ACORN is active made the top 10 list of metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates- Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Several other ACORN cities were listed in the top 30- Jacksonville, Orlando, West Palm Beach and the Tampa Bay area.”
If their strategy is to put so much pressure on the system to get it to collapse (stated in Cloward-Piven), what do you do when it DOES collapse? Blame those you strong-armed, of course! This is now making WAY too much sense. Couple this with what they are doing to VOTING in the cities, and wow does it make sense!
UnderstandingisPower on May 9, 2009 at 12:07 PM
maverick muse, I get that (don’t expect fairplay), but the TRUTH is they only have one playbook. Once you know it, their tactics don’t work nearly so well because you see right through what they are trying to do. Case in point. Carrie Prejean. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Poignant.
Young Republicans and Tea Bag Conservatives are rallying to retake Urban America from the Marxists at the voting booths.
We do need to keep up presence.

Last night I asked Limerick if he would mind my posting his son’s letter on a small blog I’m on. He must have missed my comment. I have some things to do this afternoon. If he comes back on would you mind asking him and posting an answer here? Thanks.

I don’t usually watch Glenn Beck, but have this week. He’s been doing segments on the corruption of ACORN. He had 2 women on yesterday. One a former legal eagle for the group, and another who is an exec in the D.C. offices, of ACORN. She has no real power, but her staff is fighting to keep her.
Why are they a former, and have no real power? Because they dared to request that the books be investigated, and audited for ACORN. ACORN apparently disagrees with opening their books. I have no reason at this point, to doubt these women. They both said they joined on, because they wanted to do good for the world, but they see the corruption, and the wrongs this group is doing, and even said they didn’t need tax payer money to survive. It’s all about the money, for ACORN.
I think he’ll have more on this, next week. I sure am looking forward to seeing where this goes….even though I won’t hold my breath, for any formal investigation to happen. As Glenn said…it’s more important to investigate an athlete doing steroids. *rolls eyes*

Yes. That is understood. That must be understood by all.
However, so far as Marxists are concerned, bear in mind.
You can lead a horse to water, but can’t make it drink.
Be careful casting pearls before swine.
