Swine Flu, Common Flu, Government Flu

After a long and worrisome article about the potential horrors of this season’s flu strains, the Washington Post turns to a different set of facts.  After detailing the fear and potential horror of a deadly flu, they begin quoting doctors…

For instance, Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center Director of Emergency Services, Barry Gilmore, says, “We are mostly dealing with the worried well or kids who are mildly ill but not severely ill.”

Ari Brown, an Austin pediatrician, states that, “There’s clearly a certain level of hysteria.”

As a father and grandfather, I have concerns for my children and grandchildren, but the Swine flu is not high on that list.  Their liberty, sense of direction, ethical sense, moral underpinnings and financial future are way above H1N1.

Ninety-one years ago, in the height of WWI, a flu strain roared around the globe, killing hundreds of thousands of robust young people.  The possibility of some horrible mutation always remains, but that possibility is a long-shot.

Call me “easily spooked,” but the resurgence of influenza is well-timed to coincide with the Radical government plan to seize control of the U.S. health care system.  No, I do not think they planned it, but they are using it to further their agenda.  As Number Eight of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals says, “…utilize all events of the period for your purpose.” And don’t forget Rule Nine:

“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

Doctors tell patients how to deal with the flu: “Drink plenty of fluids to maintain the body’s hydration, and take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen to reduce the fever and discomfort.  Get plenty of rest.“  This is the same advice whether it’s this year’s run-of-the-mill flu or the H1N1 strain.  In fact, the Swine Flu ends in a few days instead of a week like most.

If you or your child become ill in other words, accept the fact that the flu will be uncomfortable — perhaps very uncomfortable.  Dr. Brown suggests that you keep yourself or your kid in bed, as comfortable as possible, and ride it out.  Only go to the hospital or doctor’s office if it becomes serious.

With the prevalent terror tactics of the Radical Progressives taking such a prominent role in our information sources, it can be a terrifying time, but never overlook the overwhelming desire of those Radicals to grab the power of the medical community and turn it into big government.

Of course it’s always sad to face death from common illness.  We lose something like 30,000 people from the flu with every strain. It’s easy to lie with statistics, but keep in mind that your child has a 99.7+% chance of making a full recovery in five days.

You can find “news” that H1N1 is a terrorist plot, or a government plot.  You can read about doctors who say that this strain will decimate the population.  The British Homeland Terror Chief said the Swine flu threat is more dangerous than terrorism.

You can find others who say that the worst is already on us, and will quickly fade as the strain loses it’s grip and succumbs to natural immunity.  You can also surmise that the best and worst scenarios are least likely.  It is, perhaps, a very, very nasty flu… but it is still a flu, and not a complete loss of liberty.

We faced the swine flu in the 1970s and it was uncomfortable for many, and tragic for some.  It will be uncomfortable for many again, and tragic for some.  That truth we can foresee, but the greatest terror we face is allowing Radicals to use this or any other problem as a means to control our lives and make our children and grandchildren “wards of the state.“

Mmm, mmm, mm.

Revisiting Mr. Acorn

Mr. Obama ran as the great community organizer.  He referred to his years with ACORN as his experience in leadership and training.  That time with ACORN supposedly qualified him for the Presidency.

How can he dismiss his ties so easily, and why is America letting him get away with it?

When Obama received the endorsement from ACORN in February of 2008, Alicia Russell, ACORN’s western regional representative, said, “He’s on the same level as we are, and sees our issues as we do.”

“The reason I moved to Chicago was to organize,” Obama told ACORN leaders,  ” So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it.  I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career.  Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

He told a large group of adoring ACORNs and other community organizers that they now had a voice in the White House, that their agenda was his agenda…

Even after a long decade of corruption, it was the Obama White House that quietly gave the census job to ACORN.  It was not the White House that loudly pulled it back.  Can you even imagine the damage ACORN could do by shifting the census numbers?  How could Mr. Obama give the job to a group known for voter registration “irregularities”?

How did President Obama get from there to his only public comment, on ABC, “You know, it’s — frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely. I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money… George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.”

President ACORN Obama

Only once during President Obama’s Sunday in the spotlight this past weekend did an interviewer ask him a challenging question. ABC’s Charles Gibson asked about the ACORN situation.  Mr. Obama’s response both two eyebrows.

One eyebrow went up when he called it “inappropriate.”   “Inappropriate” might be a good description of Secretary of State Clinton burping in public without excusing herself.  It hardly seems sufficient for the nationwide willingness to support a pimp and prostitute bringing children illegally into the United States for prostitution, offering tax scam advice,  and assisting in international trafficking of minors and the operations of a brothel!  A man who refers to a police department as “acting stupidly” in protecting and serving a Massachusetts community should have been at least slightly outraged.

The other eyebrow went up when he dismissed the whole thing as “not the most important thing in America.”  Not only is it always important when any organization bilks America, but ACORN is the President’s baby!  ACORN acted as his claim to the Presidency!  He himself said ACORN provided him with the experience necessary to run the nation.  He was an attorney for them!  He was an organizer for them!  He promised to bring their agenda to the White House!

What raises both eyebrows at the same time, however, is that nobody seems to care.  Even the President’s most outspoken critics seem underwhelmed by the fact that Obama and ACORN were like peas and carrots until this story broke.

ACORN and Al Capone

James and Hannah, the two youngsters who scooped all of the media in the United States, have elevated ACORN to the status of Al Capone.

Al Capone was never convicted of a crime until late in life, when Elliot Ness finally hung tax evasion on him.  Retired co-founder Wade Rathke supports ACORN.  Although dozens of employees have been jailed, and offices in numerous States are under investigation for a range of crimes, the Radical agency itself, “has never been convicted of a crime.“

That is quite a defense.

Rathke went on to blame the President of the United States, complaining about,  “how willing the Obama administration is open to a cave-in to the conservatives on false pretenses on a completely fake ‘issue.’“

Uh, wait a minute… The President has not spoken about ACORN recently. Neither has Gibbs.  At least, the absent network propaganda machine has remained silent if he said anything at all.

“Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!” - George Patton

If you know anything about the Rules for Radicals, you have already figured this out:  Blaming Obama as personally responsible for something he never did is a tactic.  In the whacked out world of Radicals, accusing him of abandoning the organization means that he must be protected.  In fact, the President is so far from any current stance on ACORN that blaming him indicates more than his complicity.  It says that President Obama is the top of the Radical food chain, holding all the strings.

If you don’t warp your mind to understand Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, you’ll think that’s all nuts.

It is nuts.  It’s ACORN, and that means Obama’s nuts.

ACORN, Nuts and Buries

[Sarcasm warning.]

Can it be?  Nobody stayed home from the funeral?

Hello?  Is anybody home?  Hey, news people!  Have we got a story for you!  Chock full of sleaze, deception and outright lies, this story comes with twists and turns to keep your readers’ heads spinning, and enough naming of names to provide a who’s who of powerful corruption in America.

Hello?  Hey, it involves names and dates, facts and figures, and a strong trail leading up Congress and to the President of the United States and his campaign for office!  It’s happening right in NYC where all the news that’s fit to print is yawning about the primary election, and in DC, where news of the horrid economy makes excuses for the President, blaming Bush and Congressional Republicans. (Those stories must have been written last night, before the funeral.)

Hey, did I mention it includes child prostitution, government grants, links to census corruption, voter fraud, donor lists tied to the President, IRS and gun rights scandals, NY Housing, and unions (Hmm, what a great story:   support from the National Education Association for Child Prostitution sponsors.)

Here’s the kicker: it’s a story that follows government prostitution, too.  You might remember this one (although you didn’t consider it news fit to print.)   It was called The Frank Measure — named for Barney.  The one back in May of this year.  It allowed organizations (specifically, ACORN) being investigated by state or federal authorities (in ACORN’s case, state AND federal authorities) on corruption charges to receive federal funds as long as they avoid conviction.  Yes, the same organization.  Frankly scary, huh?

Well, I guess nobody’s home.  The old-fashioned press is out burying news of ACORN and dozens of ties to Congress and the President of the United States.

Is this a CIA Problem?

The White House had no idea the 9/12 March on DC was coming… According to the The Wall Street Journal, “Press Secretary Robert Gibbs queried reporters about the planners and their issues. ‘I don’t know who the group is,’ he said with a shrug.”

Yep, they never heard of Tea Parties.

Truth and the White House are nodding acquaintances.  No wonder they despise the CIA.  Facts are stubborn things, but the White House never stumbles — they simply deny them and Move On.

Move On!  Oh, yeah!  Gibbs has heard of them!

U.S. vs. the Obama Nation

While the Washington mall was packed, fewer than 15,000 carefully selected people three-quarters filled the Target Center’s 20,500 seat stadium to hear President Obama speak yet again about health care.  Several thousand showed up but could not gain access to the available seats.

It struck a nerve as mainstream news channels showed people filing in like a choir to fill row after row in single-file order without skipping a seat, starting behind the podium.  The best seats in the house remained empty, but out of camera view.

Orchestrated for no reason but to give an alternative to wooing Network fans, the speech said nothing new.  It went nowhere.  It showed a “vigorous and authoritative President Obama” (not my words.)  ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC were excused from covering the enormous March on Washington and the dozens of two to twenty thousand people at each of dozens of other locations around the country.

Among the hundreds of absurdities of the day, a few caught me as especially noteworthy: patriotism, spontaneity, American thoughts, patriotic songs and expressions ruled in Washington, DC,  for the first time in a great many years; the “astro-turf” crowd showed up on their own from around the country and remained lighthearted and willing to forgive, while the Obama nation refused to bend; the patriots in DC were orderly and decent while the “true grassroots Obamanists” were carefully selected and coordinated and brought in for the staged event; and of course the President arranged to be away from home for the special day.

ACORN ALINSKY OBAMA

ACORN calls impressive journalism a “smear” campaign, and they will attempt to sue for the recent expose’.  Saul Alinsky and his Rules for Radicals bite back.

ACORN’s president Alton Bennet and executive director Mike Shea are squirming. They know better than anyone alive how terrifying their plight is right now, because the people they call “the enemy” have studied and understand ACORN’s own rules. Right now, they are caught in their own tactic of rule 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Rule 10 of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals says, “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.” So far, the ACORN Radicals immediately fired two expendable employees in Baltimore, and then two more in DC. The exposure continues and they can’t effectively do that again. The next step is likely to be a “corrupt regional manager” or something equivalent.

Calling this an illegal and immoral smear campaign is very curious. It illustrates Alinsky’s Ninth Rule of the Ethics of Means and Ends beautifully: “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.” The very tools that ACORN use abruptly change to “unethical” when reality knocks in the form of a 25-year old young man and 20-year-old girl who apply their own rules against them.

Bennet and Shea are pleading at this point. “But that does not excuse the behavior of the employees. We have fired them and are initiating an internal review of practices and reminding all staff of their obligation to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards,” yet according to Alinsky’s Rules of Means and Ends, number Seven states that, “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.” As pressure mounts against them, their hideous excuse for “ethical behavior” gets a double slam from reality and failure.  They lose on both sides — those who truly know their ethics are horrible, and those who do not care.

ACORN has followed Rule 10 of Means and Ends: “Do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.” Oops. As the moral clothing come off, they are being exposed. We can see the immoral private parts. This is amazing stuff! It further serves to illustrate what Radicals do in every single organization they participate in, and every elected office they hold!

The Rules are all there, flapping nakedly in the breeze. As this story continues, it can be predicted. Early calls for investigation into ACORN have begun. Next you see another story, and another, and pretty soon the Alinsky community of Radicals will distance themselves from “the nuts of ACORN.” Last week, ACORN leaders were friends. This week they will be a sham, viciously fighting one another.

ACORN will try to fight back and name names. Even the big fish will become involved. President Obama, who ran his campaigns for Senate and the Presidency on his experience in “training Community Organization Leaders at ACORN” will try to scramble out of the hole.

Means and Ends Rule number Two says, “Judgment of the ethics of means and ends is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.” While he held the cards, his friends at ACORN have been an “organized, helpful group of hardworking individuals bringing together the poor and underprivileged,” or something like that. He even proclaimed that, “Now ACORNS ideas will be carried into the White House!” It will be more than fascinating to watch how he sneaks away from that.

Civil War?

Immediately after posting yesterday’s blog, biggovernment.com posted the second story (in a series?) of ACORN perversion, immorality, and illegality.  James and Sarah are two youngsters with a liberated future.  This is some excellent stuff, though I do fear for their safety.  The ethics of Radicals could easily include direct murder.

Today is the 9-12 DC rally, with many sister rallies taking place across the nation.  It should be a fascinating day to watch FOX News, and not hard to predict another sleepy day for network news channels.

Another civil war in America?  You betcha!  And so far, the guns have remained quiet.  (Lord, may that continue!)  The sides in this conflict can be broadly defined as Radicals vs People of Reason.

It comes down to the idea of, “F*^# everything” vs “Hold on to what remains.”  If you prefer, it comes down to a big government that sides with the group that believes, “What’s yours is everybodies” vs “We can all have more,” or even, “All men should get your s*-t equally”  vs “All men are created equal.

Leave Parties out of this, because they represent nobody.  Our President and Congress are bought and paid for with our money, and serving themselves.

The highlight of the biggovernment.com journalism is that they exposed this stuff to the common man — clearly and convincingly.  You will notice nothing but token gestures coming from Congress, and no mention from the White  House.  The expose’ fuels us with knowledge, and we need nothing but wisdom to act.  The government will not be on our side until it, too, has been fully exposed and mostly replaced with a new breed of statesmen.

Calls for denying our tax money to the IRS is certainly premature at this point, but don’t rule it out by next April.   Sure, they get enough from us to continue by sucking our paychecks before we see them, and they still print cash from thin air, but it has to stop somewhere.  Some will say they cannot continue without us for another year, yet they pursue a goal of destroying our nation before Christmas.

If you are a free and liberated American, you know that this is a great day to be alive!  If we reclaim our soil, it will be torn up.  But we can rebuild in no time flat, and the Trade Tower can finally be replaced with a real American Liberty Tower. God bless you.  God bless all of us.

Acorn Prostitution

The thorns I reaped are of the tree

I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed.

I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed.

- Lord Byron

Acorn exists to tear up the system and abuse power.  Hundreds of abuses have been exposed, and the latest example demonstrates their mission and purpose perfectly.

It might be too soon to state certainly that a very prominent man in Washington, DC, is responsible for the treachery, but it is entirely true that he worked to train these people in their evil art.

Before you can really understand the mindset of the Radical, watch the video. Then look at a fairly typical Leftist comment by some guy going by the name, mikeskew:

“Just watched the video and kinda underwhelmed. What I saw was two concernned women trying to help a dimwitted girl trying to live on her own. No harm there. Interesting but not as earth shattering as Beck let me to believe… Rest easy people, the Baltimore branch of ACORN is not going to steal your children and eat them despite what uncle Glen told us.”

That was a more charitable post. Somebody named vhw28672478 reflects the other side of ignorance.  He simply dismisses the whole thing as, “FOX News is fake.”  He must be convinced the whole thing will blow over, and probably feels sorry for the two women who were fired for trying to help a “dim-witted girl” get a home.

They get it.  This is not about credibility.  Friends, this is what they want.  They like this stuff.  ACORN is doing exactly what Radicals adore.

This is Obama’s baby.  He loves the group and their goal and purpose.  Are there ties?  Absolutely!  That is the most ridiculous question you can ask!  The proper question is, “How involved is the President of the United States in a group like ACORN?”  We know Obama came up through their ranks, trained their leadership, received overwhelming support from them for his election as Senator and then President.  We know they accepted his pledge to “install their ideas in the White House.”  What else do we need to find?  Where are the researchers and journalists?  Why did this story break only because of a pair of brave young amateurs?

Whether you choose to ignore this gathering insanity or deal with it, the worst is yet to come.  What will you wait for?  The day it really is too late?
