B**** *President Alinsky Threatens Americans with Rising ‘Social Tensions’* Posted By *J. Christian Adams* On July 24, 2013 **** You can take the community organizer out of the South Side, but you can’t take the community organizer out of the community organizer.**** Today, America heard threats<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/24/obama-washington-took-its-eye-economic-ball/>from the increasingly predictable President Alinsky. **** “The position of the middle class will erode further,” Mr. Obama said. “Inequality will continue to increase, money’s power will distort our politics even more. Social tensions will rise, as various groups fight to hold on to what they have, start blaming somebody else for why their position isn’t improving. That’s not the America we know.”**** This is standard-fare *Das Kapital* by Karl Marx. Obama doesn’t even attempt to disguise it, leaving out only the original author’s name. Obama merely adds the threat of social tensions.**** For that, thank speech co-author Saul Alinsky.**** Alinsky saw social tensions as a necessary circumstance to effective community organizing. Without anger, without the have-nots blaming the haves, it is harder to accumulate power. Alinsky considered the creation of social tensions, or the exploitation of them, as essential to move wealth and power from those who have it to those who don’t.**** Once “social tensions” are stoked, all that is left is the tactical organization.**** Compare how conversant President Obama is in the ominous language of the economically illiterate left with President Reagan’s faith in the economic power of American freedom. Obama’s economic worldview flows from Marx and Alinsky, when the free-market oxygen of Reagan is so badly needed. Instead of uplifting Americans, Obama threatens them.**** Republicans must match Obama’s dark vision with something equally aggressive and directly confrontational. One idea? Defund Obamacare instead of another in a series of phony House votes to repeal it.**** The Founders gave the House the power of the purse for times like these. Defund Obamacare and watch the economy accelerate overnight.**** Unfortunately for now, it seems some in the GOP don’t understand their opponent. Speaker John Boehner gravely misunderstands the situation if he truly believes Obama’s address was devoid of content — a mere “Easter egg with no candy in it.”**** There was plenty of content in that speech, if you know what to listen for. Boehner’s response might have worked during more civil times. But with soaring debt and a new muscular federal government, sweet quips don’t cut it.**** ------------------------------ Article printed from Rule of Law: *http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams***** URL to article: * http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2013/07/24/president-alinsky-threatens-americans-with-rising-social-tensions/ ***** ** ** __._,_.___ __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
