Saul Alinsky visits Ohio for Senate Bill 5

No need to feel bad about this. The Left has been doing this for decades. It's second nature to them by now. We're still learning. We need to catch up, though.

A good model is tour groups and pilgrimages. The groups arrive in a body, have leaders, have signs or banners for the group to rally around, and use walkie-talkies to spread information. A "flash mob" just won't cut it.

>>formatting as copied, so spare me the horsecrap<<

No horsecrap, my FRiend. Badly formatted, badly stated, rambling, somewhat self-referential.

Hard to read (like many I lost the thread about 1/4 of the way into the missive) and doesn’t get to the point: What is the problem and what are we to do?

TomZ needs some serious coaching. But I applaud his enthusiasm.

That list has to do with the topic because several people were wondering how old certain stars were and if they were still living. I explained at the top of the post 'for those interested...'

And yes, I know the list has several 'mistakes' in that several people have passed on since this list was compiled. This was pointed out to me and I explained that I did not have the up to the minute list. This list is a month or two old.

I skimmed through the whole thing — it’s clear that much musing and reflection is taking place as to how a Tea Party detachment might best confront lefty union brats bent on maximal mischief. I’m cheered that the Tea Parties are getting past the “oh, let’s go have a mass rally in Washington” point, even if some confusion reigns.

Alinsky was of course not in person at these events, but he was there in spirit. Which is the same as the devil.

Screw the format. It can be fixed.

The point is, your people were out there.

However large your numbers were, you have done us a service.

Thank You.

[bronxville]

Amen to that! Thank you!

The TP needs to do a much better job of coordinating their efforts. They need to exchange cell phone numbers so they can text and keep all informed if the venue has changed.

While I applaud their efforts, there is much work to be done in the area of coordination of these events.

God, I hate these union people and their privileged attitudes.

What might be neat would be to gather a gang of conservative bikers in full leathers on motorcycles with straight pipes.

Personally, I think that those "straight pipes" ought to include some interior rifling.

The Tea Party response in the various states where the socialist thugs have protested has been passive at best. We outnumber them and should be able to muster more Tea Partiers, maintain rallies as frequently as the socialists and as long in duration. Instead the Tea party rallies only when it is convenient for them by gathering primarily on only Saturday's.

The Socialists have raised the bar. They are shredding the rule of law. It is an affront to the Constitution. It is time for those who believe in the Constitution to sacrifice a little more by also taking time off from work to counteract the socialists and communists. The Founding fathers were willing to risk far more when forming the country with the threat of death hanging over their heads. Sacrificing a little time off from work pales in comparison.

“...Instead the Tea party rallies only when it is convenient for them by gathering primarily on only Saturday’s. ...”

Do you realize that most Tea Party members and followers have to work for a living? Weekends are the only time they can protest while the rest of the radical Marxist union scum can freely take the day off to protest.

Bums, welfare cheats, professional unemployed, professional students, union thugs, and many more who exist off the backs of the working class can freely take the time to attend Socialist functions stirred up by professional COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS such as Obama and his crew of Communists.

I have to be at work. My time is committed every day on the job. I can only take off if I am sick, have a family emergency, or schedule vacation time in advance (which must be approved).

This entire S.B. 5 thing has made me sick to my stomach. I have long-time friends who are police officers. They ahve been very active in the Tea Party movement and have been active in conservative politics for years. We’ve canvassed together, placed yard signs, poll-watched, manned the phone banks, but there they are in Columbus protesting the very conservative values they’ve espoused for years.

They disgust me. They are acting like selfish, spoiled babies who have had their favorite toy yanked away. I’ll never view them the same way again.

bump for later... it allows me to go back to read it later.

Meanwhile the Constitutional freedoms and your family are being stripped everyday by socialists intent on wreaking havoc on the rule of law and the Constitution. They have raised the bar with an all out assault on the Constitution. At some point people will have to choose to either make more sacrifices to defend the Constitution or choose to sacrifice the Constitution by remaining in their own little world of work, family and paying bills. We are close to that point if not already there. They could very well loose all if they choose the latter.
