    Saul tried to tell his readers and understudies-

    Dear liberal- Make the majority think that what they believe is not longer in vogue- that nobody with any intelligence thinks that way. Make them believe that the way YOU think is the only way that intelligent people believe.

    That way, they'll give up. That way, they'll submit.

    ************
    Now doesn't that sound that what a liberal is doing? It's so perfect it makes me want to shake my head. These forum liberals here are JUST LIKE THAT.

    It would be a joke, but it isn't really funny. It's pitiful.

    That's exactly what libs do, the effect is multiplied because the media happens to be in bed with the Democrats.

    Libs do not listen to anyone with real world experience and common sense logic. It's their way or you're a "fill in the blank accusation"

    Sadly predictable every time the left is.

    Both sides do the same thing. Pot, meet kettle. Those of us inbetween simply laugh at how idiotic it sounds from the outside. Liberals don't get that money doesn't grow on trees. Conservatives don't get that people can't stand obsolete beliefs.

    The wheels on the truck....

    So that means global warming deniers are using Alinsky tactics. As are creationist and IDers.

    It is more a democrat thing than a liberal thing, but sure, that is what happens.

    The OP is very representative of the behavior of what I've been calling the 'institutionalized liberal'. IL's are not free thinkers. They toe the line and endorse what ever the elite of their collective tells them. The same could be said of conservatives, but it's mostly restricted to fringe groups as of now. Like bible thumpers as an example.

    Those self proclaimed liberals have good intentions, but their policies have disastrous results. IE, allowing ILLegal immigration and giving government hand outs seems to them the humanitarian thing to do. But that's like feeding a hungry bear. The bear will become dependent on your hand out since it is much easier than foraging/hunting for food. And when your hand outs dwindle... then he digs in your trash, break in your house, and maybe eventually eat you and your neighbors.

    Anyone who thinks government and society as a whole need Jesus to function.

    edit: I should also add proselytizing is a hallmark of bible thumpers too.

    You don't get that the beliefs of which you probably speak are not obsolete. That makes you as much in the dark as the most confused liberal. Since the weakest point of liberals is their morality.

    I'm betting you smoke pot.

    And just because both sides do something, doesn't mean that one side doesn't do it incomparably more than the other side.

    Silly boy. (or girl)

    Really? More Democrat. I would say it's MUCH more a liberal thing.

    The average Democrat is just that- average. Average morals, average loving, average hateful, average angry, average happy.
    The average Liberal has low moral perception, way too much hate for it to be healthy for them, is angry a lot, and is not very happy unless they're making fun or denigrating someone (which ain't happiness, I'll let ya know) :).

    I'm going to have to say that your perception isn't the greatest, but at least you recognize about liberals what I wrote the post about, so I'll leave you alone. :)

    Thanks for (some of) your input.

    One doesn't need to read his book. Just look at what Dear Leader has done since entering office and you will see every single page of it! :steamed:

    Of course it seems that way, simply because most conservative nonsense doesn't work anymore and it is stupid to believe in it.

    Lack of self esteem and insecurity about their ideology ^

    Here is a quote from TS Eliot to ponder, because IMO it fits the contemporary liberal mindset.

    Which is why Lefties and Dimocrat Pols love to portray their Policies
    as " Smart ".Look for use of that word often when Dimocrats describe the
    difference between their policy and the opposition.
    Plus use of the word " Extreme ".Dimocrats love to describe all Republican
    policy as " Extreme ".
    " Extreme " and " Smart " are poll { Focus group } tested words that work
    every time they're used.

    I gotta luv the "liberals are haters" hate coming from the usual right wing fringers.

    I am not surprised at the "no need to read the book" because they already know what it says and what it means. No need to actually know anything at all other than them librals and demoncrats is a bunch of ignant haters out to destroy the country.

    Keep those bumperstickers a'comin'. How else will both bases have a clue as to what to do.

    One could effectively accuse them Dimocrats as being " smart "
    about Hating.Like it's some nouveau { school of Dante's Inferno }
    virtue.

    Any intelligent person knows that a book like I've mentioned, Alinsky's in this case, is a blot on moral and good humanity.

    To use the techniques outline in it, knowingly or unknowingly, is shameful.

    Liberalism 1) can only survive through dishonesty (because people don't want to live that way if they're smart enough to understand where Liberalism leads). 2) has most Liberals brainwashed through the very methods in Alinsky's book (that's why liberals think that they're morally and intellectually superior--what a joke. They're buying into Alinsky's and others lies without even know they're being duped - just keep telling liberals THEY are the smart ones, THEY are the moral ones. ha ha ha)

    No...bet you haven't either. Nor 95% of those on the Right who bring it up.

    Look at what longknife said or the fact that ex-lib STILL isn't saying that he's ACTUALLY READ THE BOOK.

    All it is is "snippets" that have been fed to them by Rightwing Media and Rightwing Blog-sites.
