Who knew the Left was suffering from Tea Party envy? The Left's attempt to capture some of the Tea Party mojo and close the enthusiasm gap with the GOP---Occupy Wallstreet---is entering its second week, and I for one hope it lasts awhile. With the likes of Hollywood liberals Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon making visits in support, it's another public demonstration of the out-of-touch liberal Left.
Sadly, this is a natural bi-product of Obama's class warfare. This hostility towards private enterprise and America in general has reached a tipping point that is distracting voters from the real issues at hand. Of course, this is what President Obama wanted. He doesn't want to talk about his Party's anti-business policies that have forced American businesses to lay off employees, or forced a banking industry to charge new fees in order to adapt to a 2,300 page Democrat-sponsored bill that regulates the financial industry.
Blaming businesses and private enterprise for all the pain and suffering in this country has been vetted at Team Obama HQ's, and the pot is now being stirred. Stanley Kurtz explains this plan in his 2010 book Radical-in-Chief: "(Saul) Alinsky was convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. And the key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations."
Alinsky was a liberal community organizer in Chicago who developed a method of local organizing that was widely copied by Democrats, and influenced Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He is credited with coining the term "community organizer." His most well-known accomplishment, however, was the book Rules for Radicals.To understanding the Left and their tactics you have to start with this book.
"The key to radical social change" was to turn "the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations." That's exactly what's happening. Everyone is mad at the big bad banks, big oil, big corporation, etc. Once you attack business interests, the theory is you jump-start this populist anti-business movement of the left, and those people pour into the Democrat Party. Alinsky's plan is the Democrat way, and win or lose, that's their playbook for 2012 to close the enthusiasm gap, and, in turn, hopefully return Obama to the White House for four more years.
Obama knows his "job" bill doesn't have enough support to pass, but that's secondary to him at this point; he's getting much more momentum by following the Alinsky Plan. As Rush rightly stated last week, "The Reagan boom, which lasted nearly 20 years, did not have an American Jobs Act. But it worked. The Reagan boom did not have Stimulus 1, Stimulus 2, Stimulus period! But it worked. The Reagan boom did not attack, smear, or vilify the other party, but it worked. The Reagan boom did not pick on 1% of the voters to incite 99% of the voters, but it worked."
If you took all the income from every millionaire in America today, it would run the government for about four months. Then what? Republican have passed over 100 bills that are sitting in the Senate right now that work to help promote job growth. Unfortunately, the Democrat-controlled Senate isn't going to move on those bills. Why? Other than the fact that they simply don't get it, I believe they are sensing the Alinsky Plan is beginning to catch on.
Ronald Reagan used to tell the story about the British worker who stood by the road with his sign as a Rolls Royce went by and said "someday I'm going to get that guy out of that car." And the American worker stood by the road as a Cadillac went by and said "someday I'm going to buy that car." Reagan represented the real American tradition which is that we all have a chance to go out and work hard--the Steve Jobs experience--as Newt referred to it this past weekend on 'Face the Nation.’ That chance to succeed, however, gets tough when government continues to put up barriers to growth. The conservative cause then must be to keep the "wrath of the middle class" focused on these barriers, not free enterprise. It's Alinsky's Plan vs. the American Dream. I shouldn't have to tell you that we can't afford to lose this one. Originally Posted by Marshall
