Rules for Radicals Defiled


Haven’t put up a rant for awhile. That changes now. You have been warned!

The 1960’s, and the decades before, were tough times for many people living in Chicago. The Daily machine ran the city, less the organized crime fiefdoms (like, who could tell the difference?), and the people on the bottom rebelled.

Along came Saul Alinsky, a champion of and for the “downtrodden”. In 1971 he wrote, “Rules for Radicals”.  He didn’t write it for the “elites”.

Today his rules have been co-opted, IMO, by the very people he fought against. “Resistance” fighters who grew up suburban, attended private schools, attended the most prestigious universities, and enjoy a lifestyle unobtainable by the people they allegedly champion.  They use his “rules” to justify their lack of a moral center and their thirst for power and dominion over we “deplorables”.

My linage doesn’t have any elitism of any sort. Irish immigrants, railroad workers, cowboys, soldiers, sailors, miners, and homesteaders were my forbearers. With that, I can understand a Saul Alinsky and sense a moral foundation to his tactics, tools for the powerless.

At their core, these (P)regressives are bitterly unhappy and want to drag everyone else into their personal hell so as to somehow validate their own miserable selves. So says WSF, who “identifies” as a psychologist.

“WSF, you are not qualified”, says the mob!!!!!

“When did that ever matter”, says WSF?

“Furthermore, go fuck yourselves”.

What grinds my gears is there is seemingly no ill consequences for the (P)regressives and their despicable tactics. Of course, there is the whole President Trump thing. Not enough, IMO.

We need to vote these (P)regressive assholes out of office.

I will get involved, and not as a keyboard commando.

It takes more than blogging. More than lip service and I think that we're at a tipping point, in much the same way as we were when President Trump was elected. Either we let the nation slide to a point of no return, or we insure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

I think that one of the places this has to happen is with curriculums offered by tax payer funded (state) universities, where the propaganda machine infects the rising generation.

I agree with you, WSF.

It isn't just the university level.
We start with that shit in preschool. By the time they're in the 4th grade or so, they don't even consider anything but what they've been indoctrinated with.

Kind of like religion.

Too true. You know, being on the front line so to speak.

Oh, Lordy, does this ring true!

I went to a community college in the Chicago area 69-70 and 70-71. I saw some of those people speak, and there were several of their disciples on campus.

And while most of us continued blithely, obliviously on our way through life ignoring their drivel, I watched several former friends go over to 'their side'.

I also watched the "most gifted" of my grade school class go away to Harvard after high school, and come back a completely stoned-out druggie after two years, but that another story....

Those were some "interesting" times.
