Rangel Plays Race Card

…Says Obamacare The Victim – Is this part of Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals?

full article from Marcia Kramer, CBS
Congressman Charles Rangel, D-Harlem said:  “bias” and “prejudice” are fueling opposition to health care reform.  Once again, the liberals are playing the race card and it is getting pretty old and tiresome.   How much longer will people get away with this tactic.  I find it offensive but I also realize that most people find it uncomfortable discussing  accusations  about racial prejudice.   I happen to believe there is a growing racial problem, one that is coming from the White House and left wing zealots … they are promoting prejudice against white people (remember Van Jones  has a repeatedly made racial comments about white people , he is a black nationalists and considers white people as evil and the root of their problems… in his own words recorded from his speeches).  

When Obama was first running for President, I saw him as a charming man with a beautiful smile and an exceptional ability to speak.  Now I realize that he is exceptional at “reading”, not speaking.  Race was never an issue, I liked the man at the time.   Now, I am repulsed by him and it has nothing to do with his race but everything to do with how he is handing the responsibilities of  President.  I think he is putting in place people and legislation that are dangerous to our country and he does not  follow the intent of our founding fathers.  When people like Charlie Rangle make charges of racism it is being directed to myself and any other American that does not support the health care reform bill.  That is offensive!

I’m afraid that Obama, Rangle and others that keep tossing out the race card every time somebody disagrees with them, could possibly be creating a climate  which could produce more racial tension then we have seen since the 1950ies and 1960ies.    Personally, I am disenfranchised by the actions of the President, those in Congress and the Senate, that are trying to turn our country into something unrecognizable.

Americans better wake up and realize this is no longer a problem between left and right, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, race or gender.  We are watching the extreme left steam roll over not only Republicans but Independents and others in their own party.   Every day seems  to produce yet another  new scandal or revelation that is shocking fellow Americans and it’s coming from  Obama,  his Czars, liberal Congressmen and liberal Senators. It is so overwhelming that it’s becoming difficult to comprehend.  For individuals trying to research  a single  incident,  some new headline takes center stage before you have had the opportunity to understand the prior incident.  Is this not part of the Saul Alinsky principles to create an emotional commitment to victory – no matter what?

Ask yourself if any of the below Alinsky rules sound familiar.

RULE 1:  “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” ( The 2 sources used to create power come from  money and/or people.  Using statements that imply that you have the power to accomplish something when in reality you don’t.  Nancy Pel0si  keeps telling us that she has the votes to pass the health care reform bill,  in reality, that does not appear to be true. Is she bluffing other Democrats in her own party that don’t want to vote for this bill?   Obama is constantly reminding us that he “won” the election and he is doing the people’s will, yet we are seeing historical drops in his approval ratings.  Yes, the people voted for change, they did not vote for somebody to remake the United States into a completely different country.)

RULE 2:  “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” (This is why they don’t address the real issues and instead keep yelling HEALTH CARE NOW! as a mantra in town hall meetings, trying to stop another persons free speech that disagree with their position.  They verbally attack  individuals with  personal insults, accusing someones grandmother of being part of an organized mob attempting to  discredit  her as an  individual speaking for her own concerns. They avoid the real issues of Health Care Reform because they don’t have the expertise to answer our questions.)

RULE 3:  “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” (Look for weakness to increase their  insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. I was sitting next to a liberal at a town hall meeting, he said the Republicans have contributed “1000″ amendments … oh really, and where did you find those facts … he suggested that perhaps I was stupid and didn’t know how to search Google … we were in an auditorium! Yet he stated this as a “fact” as though he were the expert and I had no tools at hand to refute his claims. End of conversation!)

RULE 4:  “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” ( No one can possibly obey all of their own rules … a  Republican gets caught cheating on his wife … what’s the first thing liberals say?  …  they  go after the very credibility and reputation of the entire Republican party …. Republicans are supposed to have family values, so this person must go immediately … however when a Democrat gets caught in the same situation, that’s ok, because they are not the ones that have a platform based on family values. Heck, they can even be tax cheats.  Rangel, chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, is being investigated as another tax cheat yet he still holds his position on the vary committee that’s responsible for writing the tax code?  How many years will it take to investigate him as he continues in his position of power. Remember the famous words of Nancy Pelosi, how under her we will have the “most ethical Congress ever”? )

RULE 5:  “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” ( Anybody that’s married knows how this works … wife says:  “Honey did you remember to pay the electric bill?” husband says “You are nagging at me and sound just like your mother! – suddenly  you are now defending yourself that you don’t sound like your Mother and then you tell him he’s acting just like your x-husband who was a total jerk …. in the end everybody forgets about the electric bill  and nobody wins, the question is never answered . When using ridicule  as a diversion  there is no defense, it’s irrational and  it makes you crazy.)

RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” (Radical activists enjoy having fun …. chanting the  “Health Care Now”  mantra at the top of their  lungs and being able to shut down the person against HCR is great fun,  and makes you feel powerful because you have stopped another person from expressing their opposing point of view… you get results that work.  Especially if you use people (worker bees)  that are not perceived to have any power, this further intensifies their satisfaction.).

RULE 7:  “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” ( Keep busing them around to different events, have them walk the streets to protest but only for a couple hours, more time will become boring …. try different venues, different people … ever notice that organizers are always coming up with new tactics.)

RULE 8:  “Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose”. (White House Chief of Staff  Rahm Emanuel said: “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Never let up …. Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the enemy time to re-organization or a chance to address a single issue …. keep the issues coming, create chaos and confusion.  Obama has this one mastered!)

RULE 9:  “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” ( Give everybody the worse case scenarios – people are dying by the thousands while your  wasting our time debating the merits of health care … you are  selfish not supporting HCR, what about your children and grandchildren?  Your an Insurance Company Lover … bla bla bla The possibility’s can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization of those opposing your position.)

RULE 10: “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. (anybody that  does not support Obama is called nutjob,  wing nut, right wing extremest, insurance company lover, crazy, selfish, mob members, liars, spreading scare tactics  on the list goes on …  they never answer your questions, they respond with verbal attacks to switch the direction of our words or actions, accusations that some people feel they need to defend, which instantly changes the dynamics of the situation.)

RULE 11: “If you push a negative hard and deep  enough, it will break through into it’s counterside.” (Liberals know the  public can be counted on to  sympathize with the underdog. Poor Democrats wanting to save the world but the big bad Republicans are getting in the way … watch the liberal ads on TV, they focus on charging conservatives with inventing  scare tactics, lies, misinformation all because the Republicans support the rich with their cold  hearted  plots … all liberal advertising is designed to bring public sympathy to their side.  Which reminds me, there are a lot more “Rich” people in the Democrat party than in the Republican party!)

RULE 12: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” (Demand  more than you want and agree to take something less, which was exactly what you wanted! Never  let the enemy corner you when you are  without a solution to the problem.  As the liberals place more radicals in the White House, this  places them in a position of power and gives them a forum to further push their agenda. )

RULE 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” (Can anybody say Sarah Palin or Glen Beck?  It’s  cruel, but very effective.  Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.  So we hear Sarah is stupid and Beck is crazy … you are told that something must be wrong if you are listening to these nut jobs.  Diverts attention, nobody is answering Beck’s legitimate questions about Van Jones – the green czar who is a  self avowed Communist, thinks white people are poisoning minority communities, a Black Rational Nationalists … Beck’s crazy, so no need for the White house to answer …but nobody is denying this either!  These are not  wild accusations, these position of Van Jones are captured and documented facts in both audio and video, in Jones’s  own words.)
