McKinney Overreactions Hinder Quest to Fight Real Racism

The thing is, and I expect you understand, is that the forces at work here are not at all interested in applying any lessons learned in kindergarten.

Here is what they are interested in: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Also: If there is a problem, do not fix it. Use it. Target it. Exacerbate it. Poke it. Rip the scab off. Make it as painful as possible. Do this to get people angry and riled up. Do this to achieve your goals.

When they also say: "In war the end justifies almost any means”, what they are saying is the "end" is power, and the means is a race war.

There is a population of people who revere this man, Alinsky, and some of them hold, or have held, very high office, including Obama, Clinton, and no doubt, Kerry.

They are universally liberals, communists, and racists who are acolytes of Alinsky. Universally, and without exception. And it is because they are amoral to the point of immorality.

When they say this: "You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments" what they really mean is, morality is what you say it is. It is all relative.

But what isn't relative is this: They all revere a man who dedicated his work to Lucifer. Really, he did. Here is a picture of the dedication in the version I read:

What I find interesting is that Alinsky leveraged the church, but recognized that this dedication might cause a problem, so the early versions were printed without it so as not to scare off the Priestly Useful Idiots. Then, when they were pretty sure nobody cared anymore, they put the dedication back in.

If I am at a party and a cop comes in telling us the party is over and we have to leave...I leave.

My son, in a medium-size town in PA, threw a pool party for his daughter, who was just entering high school. About 20 kids showed up and were having the usual good time - yelling and cavorting, with loud music.

This was in a tract home area and some neighbor called the police over the noise. The officer came to the door and said there was a complaint, so tone it down - and left. My son gave a Riot-Act-lite to the kids and threatened to shut the whole thing down if they didn't cool it. They did, and the party went on for another hour or so.

No swat teams, no foul-mouth invective on either side, no spilling out into the neighborhood - just an "OK officer, I'll fix it." reaction by my boy to the officer's low-key approach.

A little reasonable behavior and respect goes a long way.

But, that is not what many of these people are looking for. they WANT it to blow up.

When I was in the Navy, I was home on leave and had gone out with about ten of my friends, and we decided to go back to my parents house to have a little pool party. As we drove up the house (on the Main Street in the town) there were a half dozen cop cars with lights on around the house, and streams of people leaving.

My younger brother was running for class president, and the party got out of hand, with about 500 people there (my parents were away) so the cops broke it up. They told people to leave, so...they left.

I came up with my ten friends, and the cop told me the party was over, but I told him I lived there, and after he looked at my ID, all my friends followed me in.

The pool and yard were a shambles, pool furniture in the pool, grass, shrubs and flowers all trampled down, etc.

But they all left. No incidents there.

Of course not. He was long gone. A responsible sailor like me should have cleaned the place up, but my last memory until the next morning was of wearing hockey gloves and drinking alcoholic punch from an over-sized spaghetti pot as I grasped a handle in each hockey glove.

Unfortunately, my father (who was an alcoholic at the time) passed out in the car when they came home from whatever party they went to, so my mother was the only sober person in this entire black mark on our family.

I came down the next morning and they were talking divorce over coffee.

Well, they didn’t divorce. He got sober about eight years later, and they ended their lives in love with each other again.

And I still wonder about those hockey gloves.
