Obamadrama
The American Thinker ^ | October 25, 2009 | James Lewis

Don't be deceived by the honeyed baritone voice and big smile. Bluffs, bully plays, and head fakes are the means by which President Obama tries to get his way. He learned the technique from Saul Alinsky.

The best answer is to use Alinsky against them. We know their rule book, and we can use their rules just as well as they can. The aggressor sets the rules.

Obama constantly uses Alinsky's principle of head-faking: "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have." For Obama, "the enemy" is us, the American people. We have to understand -- that's the way they use the language. Read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals if you don't believe it. We are the enemy.

He's like a third-rate basketball player who is just trying to fake out the other to cover up his lack of athletic talent.

There, fixed it.

“These people will yield to firmness, as authoritarians always do. They will dodge and scream to scare us, but then they will yield. If they don’t, that’s why we have a Supreme Court, and that’s why we already have the Democrats running scared about next year’s elections.”

That’s a hopeful thought

Obama has declared war on Fox News and just about everyone else he doesn’t like (like those of us here who love America) so he thinks this is war? And Alinskys’’ rules’’? Well as I’ve been told by those who actually fought wars, I mean the grunts who had to do it, the first rule in war is”There are no rules. If this little punk_a$$ president wants a ‘’war’’, then lets give him one. I’ll be damned if some Chicago street thug is going to ‘’change’’ my country and try and shut us all up. F him.
