RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
These are two of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals.
Do they look familiar?
Have you seen them at work?
Have the Democrats been bombarding you with the use of these tactics for the last three years now?
Have the mainstream media been aiding and abetting them?
Where are we headed? Where are they leading us?
Generally I stay away from the “I” word. And generally I try to present both sides of things when both sides of things are readily apparent. Lately I’ve been saying that we are way beyond politics now, which I use to mean that our Congress has totally dropped the ball and is leading us over the cliff. If you can take a step back and look at things rationally, that’s pretty much what’s happening.
Mostly it is the Democrats. They have become crazy, toxic parents.
Sometimes I talk about while Nero fiddled alluding to the fact that while our Congress is messing around with perpetuating its attack on and its attempt to unseat a president on the left side and the exposure of such and an attempt to defend against it on the right, Iran, Russia and China are not only laughing, but they are taking as much power and territory as they can get as quickly as they can get it.
Putin must be peeing in his pants laughing at us. How stupid are we?
Sometimes I talk about the biased media. I sit back and look at things and I wonder are they crazy? Do people really not see through the media bias? Do people really not understand that our major media outlets are now owned by political operatives who are billionaires and who are not interested in a free press that is fair and unbiased? Do they not see that those people who so vehemently claim they are the champions of the people are really part of the elite class and are attempting to stay in charge of things by pulling the wool over our eyes?
So yesterday the Attorney General testified in the House of Representatives. It was supposed to be a budget hearing, but it was more of the same, with the Democrats perpetuating what we now know with certainty to be a false narrative. (See the two rules above.)
Or, Congress put on a show, here often referred to as Kabuki Theater. Or, Congress spent more of our money wasting our time and not attending to the business of the country.
So I wonder where they are leading us and why they are leading us there. Then I think of the Hunger Games movies and the multitude of other movies set in similar circumstances where there are huge masses (lots of times they’re zombies) ruled by an elite class of people who live in the gated cities.
Darwinism. Survival of the fittest. This is why our political leaders, mostly all members of the millionaire’s club, and our media leaders, mostly all members of the billionaire’s club, are so intent upon leading us “over the cliff.”
We go over, but of course they don’t.
Just for fun, here’s a link to a little Psychology Today article about dealing with “crazy” parents. If the shoe fits… Surviving the Toxic Parent
