Concepts for Conservatives

I am a conservative. I realize that a lot of people make that claim without having any real concept of what it means. I also realize that when made in the  presence of liberals such an admission brings scowls, scoffing or outright verbal attacks on one’s: parentage, intelligence, education or belief system.

Only by understanding the enemies of freedom and democracy can we win this battle against socialism. The  community agitator and author Saul Alinsky wrote a “book” entitled “Rules for Radicals” (Amazon.com ISBN # 0679721134, Be sure to read the reviews by readers). I am sure most of you have at least by now heard of it but wonder how many of you have studied it.

Sun Tzu in his treatise “The Art of War” stated:

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

To fight any battle without intelligence and information on the opposing force is just plain stupid.

Alinsky, himself, acknowledged that true change comes only with revolution. His book is a primer on how to foment that revolution and create class warfare. It was written specifically to cause dissent and encourage the “have-nots” to take every thing away from the “haves”. In other words to unite the takers and do nothings of the world to live off the sweat and labor of the productive.

Alinsky believed that capitalism was Machiavellian in nature, that if you were rich you got there by being devious and dishonest.

Alinsky like his acolytes Obama, Clinton, Davis, Ayers, and most of the current administration realized that they had to create change from inside the system. They had to agitate from within and then attack. They are still agitating and still attacking American ideals and principles!

The first step in community organization is community disorganization.

Alinsky’s rules were guidelines that had to be fluid and changeable according to the situation, much like Obama’s speeches.

Alinsky’s strategy was to bait and goad opponents into reacting. Diversion from the issues and blaming others. Well so far this has been Obama’s tactics also.

The current situation is not just a political exercise or cycle it is a war. Each action by the opposition is intended to be a battle for the hearts and minds of the un or ill informed. You must brace for it, be prepared. You must attempt to educate and prepare others so that they see through the smoke screens intentionally being deployed while they attempt back room deals and hidden agendas in Congressional Bills. We must all be ever vigilant and prepared to fight to hold on to the principles and ethics that this great Republic was founded on.

At least be aware of Alinsky’s basic rules so that you can spot them when they are applied. Arm yourselves with knowledge and spread the truth because there is nothing that they hate more than the truth. When they then start labeling you and calling you names you know that you have at least one small battle. The battle is on! Are you prepared for the War?

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
