I was able to attend a seminar given by the Ayn Rand Center & CEI yesterday here in DC.
The ONE THING we came away from the seminar was that most of the TEA PARTIES (and town halls) talk about what we are AGAINST. We MUST narrow the talk down to what we are FOR. Most of everything in the discussion everywhere can be boiled down to FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS! Obamacare is about making SLAVES of doctors. It is DOCTORs’ rights that are majorly infringed upon.
Another thing was that we need to develop the “virtue of selfishness”: we should be proud of the work we do and be the determiner of how we spend our money. An example given was: your neighbor is sick and can’t afford necessary care. He comes to you to ask for help. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to help or refuse. Your neighbor has NO CLAIM on your income. What is happening is that with Obamacare, your neighbor, instead of coming back with a gun, goes to the government and gets the government to take your money.
Keep the discussion to RIGHTS and walk away from anyone who just can’t be convinced UNLESS you have an audience who might be convinced.
Our rights are being taken away in increments. We must fight to preserve what is left and take back what has been taken.
Pray for all of us here in DC.
Saul Alinsky and his followers are not pleased that his tactics are laid bare and republicans are on to the “rules.” We are just leveling the ground rules, Saul.
