In short, the Democrats have absolutely lost their grip on reality. They are making all kinds of outrageous claims against the Republicans.That got me thinking. I posted the following comment:
I hate to be trite, but the Democrat strategy is straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook: demonize and ridicule your "enemy," advocate simple-minded policies within the "experience" of the party base, always "push a negative hard and deep," execute an "anything goes" strategy while pressing the enemy to live up to his own "book of rules," and "cause confusion, fear and retreat."By resorting to Alinsky tactics the Democrats are playing with fire. It's easy to light an emotional fire by demonizing, ridiculing and confusing. But fires are more easily set than put out.
An example? How's this? The Democratic Party platform calls for an "All-of-the-Above Energy Policy." Anyone with half-a-brain knows Obama has tried to kill coal production, has squelched the Keystone pipeline, prevented oil exploration on shore and has made drilling off shore almost impossible. The fine print in the platform specifies the party will pursue an all-of-the-above "clean" energy policy.
No matter. The goal is simply to confuse the issue in the voter's mind. And remember, the Democrat appeal is to those with less than half-a-brain.
As for the Democrats' "outright lies?" It is important to remember that lying is a vice only in our rule book. In the Saul Alinsky rule book lying is a virtue. This is why creatures like Debbie Wasserman Schultz are able to lie continuously and shamelessly. Her less than half-a-brain rationalizes her actions as those of a good soldier. She's convinced the ends justify the means.
LD Jackson asks: How did we survive before Barack Obama? I'm asking: How will our society survive the coming presidential election in the face of such manufactured hate and fear?

Thanks for the link, Sherman. It is more than a little troubling that the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign are so ready and willing to use whatever tactics are necessary to defeat their opponent. The truth doesn't matter to them, only the end result. God help us all if they succeed.
I have a feeling we'll need God's help before this is all over.
As usual, your argument is very well framed, Sherman. I commented on larry's post that I agreed that it was Alinsky tactics that are being used. I added that I thought they were using those taxtics to achieve the goals of Cloward-Piven; thatis, to overload the government's safety bets until they collapse causing the chaos the Marxist say they must have before they can begin building their socialist utopia. That's my opinion, anyway.
BTW, I liked that "Words Matter" video. Sadly, it is thirteen minutes long and it is hard to get people to pay attention for more than two or three minutes at a time. I am going to send it to a few people I think could benefit from watching it.
Thanks, Jim. I saw your comment and agree with it. Cause a crisis and take advantage of it. I really don't think the Dems can persuade in an honest debate. They need chaos.
Jeremiah Wright talked about the conversation he had with Barack Obama when Obama tried to bribe him not to speak any more before the November 2008 elections:
“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’

Obama sees lying as part of life. There's nothing wrong with it!
Great comment. I had forgotten about that quote. It just goes to show Obama is transparent, really, during the times he's off teleprompter or at moments he thinks the mike isn't on or when he's speaking to a closed audience -- even when he was younger in his writing. It's why I'd like to see his college papers. He'd have a lot of 'splainin' to do.
I remember hearing that on the radio. It seems Reverend Wright was less than enamored with his former congregant. I can't help but wonder how many more incidents there are like this, that we don't know about. Smoke, fire, etc.
