Whether you like McCain or not, I have to admit, he took a huge risk by naming Sarah Palin as his running mate. The thing is, that he took a page out of the Alinsky method, and used it against the Democrats. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.”

The democrats are always using underhanded tactics against the conservatives, following Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”. Remember Florida’s hanging chads, and their constant ridicule of George Bush, and everybody with the guts to stick by their convictions? This time, the tables were turned.

No doubt, democrats were getting ready to sick their bulldog Vice Presidential Candidate, Joe Biden, against Mitt Romney, or Tom Ridge, or even Joe Lieberman. Their thought process being, “I have a tough guy that can draw blood against anybody, can go toe to toe in a brutal figuratively fistfight with the best of them.”

But, how will it look when Biden start attacking Sarah? As with Hillary Clinton, it will most likely be seeing as beating the girl up. How tough is a guy that picks on girls? Hillary was seeing as weak when she cried, and when she assumed the victim role when the good ole’ boy network ganged up on her.

Sarah has being described best by alluding to her high school moniker, “barracuda”. In school, she was a competitor. She is a tough outdoors person, a hunter, and a fisherman; she has put her money where her mouth is when she decided to keep her baby. She also proved that she will stand against any corrupt republican politician, and has no problem reaching across the aisle to name democrats to her cabinet.

Someone said, “When Sarah talks, people listen”. She definitely has the values that conservatives have being clamoring for. From Focus on the Family founder, Dr. James Dobson, to conservative talk show host Glenn Beck; almost all of them had stated that pulling the lever for McCain (voting for McCain) would be a very unpleasant task. Lets face it; McCain is a social liberal. But with Sarah Palin at his side, they would be more likely to vote for McCain.

It remains to see where and how soon the democrats will use the pending investigation of whether she authorized one of her staff members to get her ex brother in law fired because of her sister’s bitter divorce battle. Either way, if that is the best that the democrats can get on her, it will not be enough to derail her. But do not count out the liberals, the Moveon.org, the rich anarchists of the democrat party. They will find out how many times she had sex, with who, was it before her marriage, or after? They will also go after her husband, and son who is an Army Soldier. After all, is part of the day-to-day tactics that the democrats love so much.

In foreign policy experience, McCain could have done worst, because a Governor is not a diplomat. A Senator has some foreign policy experience, but so what? I am not a diplomat, or politician at that, but in my travels around the world I found that:

1. When you treat people with dignity, they open their arms to embrace you. And yes, that includes Iraq. Being there, done that.
2. There is no difference between a school-yard bully and a head of a nation bully like Putin or Ahmadenijad. They only understand violence, and strength.
3. Insane is as insane was. Kim Jon Ill is an insane egomaniacal, psychopath; you can contain him, but not really reason with him.
4. Everybody got Ahmadenijad wrong. Because he does not see himself as a political head of state, but as a religious one. So his goal is to bring the 12^th Iman back, and to do that, he needs to bring bloodshed to the world. How soon will he try it? He started by attacking our Soldiers in Iraq.
5. Everybody else is halfway normal. Which means that we can sort of reason with.

If I get that, she can get it too.

The main thing is that the Presidency does not lend itself to be a “learn as you go” in foreign policy matters. So, Barak/Biden is a backwards ticket. McCain/Palin is the right order to learn foreign policy. Barak needs to know what he is doing when dealing with heads of state and terrorists, and if he wins, he will have to be happy to be a talking head, because it will be Biden that will control the show.

On the other side of the aisle, you have Palin in the right spot to be the apprentice. She will learn from the master.

The democrats will no doubt make much of McCain’s age. 72 years old is a lot. But again, if something happen, Palin would need to name a VP, and then we would have what the democrats have right now. A really experience VP with a rookie President. So the bottom line is, we are better of with McCain/Palin.

Her position on the border with Mexico has not being publicized yet. If she utters three key words, she will win the crowd over. Those three words are: “CONTROL THE BORDER.”

I could continue writing, but then I would exhaust my material for future articles.

Talk to me, let me know what you think.

Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx, Lenin, Hitler, KKK, and Obama?

What do all of the above have in common? They all were and are master manipulators. Karl Marx ideals and methods incited a nation and translated into the Russian Revolution with it’s consequential blood shed, and chaos, replacing it with a government that believed in taking the land of those who used it to produce crops, and feed the nation. Agitating the poor to the point of wanting to kill those who owned the land, and provided work to those less fortunate, the landowners were killed, and the land was redistributed to the proletariat. When they proved that they could not produce adequate harvests, the land was taken from them and given to new people. The bottom line, nobody owned anything, and hunger spread.

“We will follow a different path” (change?) was a favorite phrase of Lenin, a “lawyer” in the Soviet Union. Lenin developed a strategy of revolutionary tactics that culminated on the Marxist-Leninist ideology, a “mass terror approach” toward those who opposed him, a mass violence against the capitalist establishment. This violence was the result of anger towards the establishment, increased by master communicators who with their speeches agitated the crowds.

Like Marx and Lenin, Hitler used the fear of other than the white race to capitalize on the weakness of his people, ending in the mass murdering of over 11 million people, not only Jews, but also gays, Jehovah Witnesses, Gypsies, handicap, and as stated before, anybody who was not white. The ever-masterful public speaker was an expert agitating the masses and inciting their fears, resulting in the Nazi party, and the subsequent election of Hitler to power.

The Ku Klux Klan uses a similar technique. They like to recruit those who are the outcasts, who are poor, and are easy to swindle into believing that their lack of money, cars, women, and popularity is due to those who does not look like them. Using booze, encouraging addictive violence to ensure their cooperation, and rallying speeches and music to agitate their passions, the KKK grabs a hold of the youth and do not let go.

Interestingly enough, Saul Alinsky, who died in 1972, and is the hero of the likes of Hillary Rodham and Barak Obama, was a master manipulator and agitator. In his book “Rules for Radicals” stated: "From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer." "My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how to use it." This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: "[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized ... it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes." "to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles ... the practical revolutionary will understand ... [that] in action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one's individual conscience and the good of mankind." "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

Saul Alinsky is the originator of the “Delphi method” in which a “master agitator” talks to the masses, and allow them to come to terms with their frustrations and find the alleged source of their poverty, lack of means, lack of insurance, lack of a job, or whatever malady is pestering a particular group, and target their raw emotion (hatred, frustration, despair) toward that particular perceived cause; usually, the government, the establishment, the rich, (sounds familiar?).

When Obama came to Chicago, he hooked up with Mike Kruglik, who was well versed in the Alinsky method, trained the young Barak in the ways of the agitator. Barak was a natural. No wonder Senator Obama cleaned Senator Clinton’s figurative clock. By using the Alinsky method, of which he is a master, the candidate for President of the United States, is following on a long list of master agitators, and proven that he can hack it with the best of them.

The problem is, not so much on his method, but on the underlining philosophy of Alinsky, and those who guided the life and thought process of our candidate. It is no wonder that he did not considered William Ayres methods to be reprehensible until pointed out to him, and became politically expedient to half Hartley disassociate himself from Ayres and his terrorist wife. It is no wonder that he did not considered offensive the ideology of a Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, or a Karl Marx.

Can we afford to allow a Marxist with radical ties become the next President?
