That's exactly how Hitler built his movement among down-and-out, disaffected, young German men in the years after WWI. Gave them a job, a little money in their pocket (eventually) and more importantly gave them a purpose, some direction, gave them orders.
It's funny how the left and Obama in particular have no fear of talking about "community organizing" when the natural reaction of Americans to that term should be concern if not outright hostility.
YEAH, and while you are yapping about how like Hitler Obama is...this is 2010....and the GOP, the conservatives and the Tea Parties are not unified into a group that reaches into the communities and has a technology approach that reaches people.
The conservatives LET THE LEFT TAKE THE PHRASE”COMMUNITY ORGANIZING”! For crying outloud what do you think the original founders groups and tea parties were??
What do you think the “Town Hall Meetings “ were “???Community organizing!
The conservatives have “let” the left take the idea of people getting together at the local level and make it the sole idea of the socialists.
You have to organize people in their community, then their state and finally nationally...Individualism and independence doesn’t mean a “lack of organizing”. You are so confusing strategy and tactics and logistics with ideology....
But just keep making fun of the Left, while we fall further behind in getting the most people to the conservative cause and yes, using community organizing and technology to move our ideas and candidates forward!
