I told you this morning that I was going to get back to work and here I am 12 hours later, just getting around to it. And, now I have even more stories piled up to post on!
One of the things that kept me occupied today, besides necessary family stuff, is that I began studying literature on community organizing, or more accurately, community disorganizing. I’ll be writing on this from time to time but the basic idea of what I learned today is that to effectively destablize communities you need people who are different—immigrants being the obvious first choice—to use as your reason for demanding change.
Another thing I learned is that some of the leaders of the community organizing movement may not even have any ideological goal. Oh, some definitely are Marxists and want to see America become a socialist country, and others have some vague idealistic notion of forcing their idea of equality on others, but some of the brains behind the concept of “change” are really just hooked on change itself. Having no real moral core they are addicted to the disruption they bring to the lives of those they see as not fully alive. That would be you—a conservative who wants to work hard, pay your bills, raise your family, follow your faith, do your patriotic duty, and lead a peaceful (boring to the change addict!) life.
It strikes me as the basic disconnect we experienced in this election. This is why conservatives don’t get it about the ultra change agent himself—Barack Obama. Lacking somehow somewhere (I’m not going to play psycotherapist) Obama is fighting for change (of whatever sort) because it gives him a high—a reason to be alive.
I haven’t gotten there yet in my studies, but I know that this strategy to manipulate communities involves getting in regular folks faces. And, because those regular folks are those I just described, just wanting a peaceful family life, they (the community disorganizers) know the regular folks will back down and look for ways to appease the manipulators.
One of the main things the disorganizers and manipulators want from communities (or our whole nation for that matter) these days is for us to accommodate Islamic practices. That would be part of the stealth jihad Judy wrote about yesterday.
Look for that effort going on in Shelbyville, TN this week. Likewise, it is probably happening in Grand Island, NE as we speak.
We already have a category called “changing the way we live,” but this doesn’t quite fit there. It does fit in Stealth Jihad, but may not always, so I guess for now I’m creating a new category called “community destablization” so I can fill you in on what I learn as I go along.
