Indeed. This is a manufactured movement. I’m outraged by those that find the cross or a manger scene too “offensive” for them to tolerate.

“Indeed. This is a manufactured movement.”

Just like the Confederate flag thing. Some nutcase punk has it in one internet photo, the MSM picks up on it, and it starts getting banned all over.

They find something to throw at the wall, and sometimes, like the flag issue, it sticks.

From Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:

* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
