This addressed to those intelligent readers who have at least some interest in rational debate and ctitical thought (not the ignoramus hep46):
History never exactly repeats itself, but there are similar good things and bad things which reoccur because human nature does not change.
ACORN and the entire 'community organizer' movement was largely inspired by the radical Jewish left wing thinker, Saul Alinsky. He is a person who Obama and Hillary Clinton both worshiped when they were in college. He and they had been very impatent with liberalsm because that kind of change takes too long to accomplish anything of value in their minds, because liberals have a fundamental regard for freedom and process and for gradually improving society through persuasion. Instead of persuasion, he organized 'mobilizations' of direct action. He fully understood that this meant intimidation and slander and whatever else it took for leftists to get what they want because they knew that what they want is wonderful.
In short, for outfits like ACORN, the ends justify the means, and getting what you want can often mean characterizing your opponents as contemptable sub humans who must be bested and defeated. This is why ACORN's activists believe rules are for others, and this is why they so often of late have gotten in trouble for voter fraud, padding voter rolls with imaginary people and people who have died or moved away.
While we are at it, let's introduce the subject of "useful idiots." Jews are maybe 5% of the population, but they were maybe 20+% of all Civil Rights Activists. From ancient times, Jews have been taught to strive for justice and harmony in the world, and they have often been at the forefront of charities and movements for social change. Lenin recognized that many of his peace loving, idealistic, rose colored glasses early cohorts were dreamy eyed Jews, and he called them "useful idiots." He had Trotsky murdered, and Stalin later referred to many of these Jews as "cosmopolitans." Many of them were murdered too after horrific show trials.
Today we have a Presidential Candidate who was an ACORN trainer, which sounds very nice until you find our what ACORN is all about. He was a loyal donor and member of his church for twenty years, very nice also, until you figure out what Trinity United has been all about. He helped a professor of education to distribute $100 million dollars to charitable organizations over a period of several years, which also sounds very nice, until you look closely at the organizations which got that money, and, until you identify the professor as a guy who brags about how he got away with blowing up buildings.
Is Obama a new age version of Lenin or Stalin who both died a long time ago? Isn't he far more simpatico with Hugo Chavez than he is with Alvaro Uribe? Couldn't we get a President who would be fawning all over every left wing looser in Latin America, and couldn't this have disasterous effects on fledgling democracies in Brazil, Peru and Chile?
Would he be able or even want to stand up to Putin if and when he decides to take back parts of or all of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine? What would he do or not do if Israel was suddenly swarmed again by hostile armies from all sides?
And if he is president, and as Sternberg would hope, let's the good Jews in his party and his administration start to have misgivings about him and even get the nerve to oppose some shall we say future heavy handed abuses of power, what do you think would happen to them, my dears? If the ends justify the means, what could happen?
It is very important today for Obama to tap into the great wealth of many of the most prosperous Jewish Families. Perhaps 25 to 50 per cent of the money flowing into his campaign and into sister organizations such as move on is coming from Jews. He also needs Jewish votes in Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Virginia, Ohio, and Wisconsin. This is very smart of him and I think these Jews, who always vote in great numbers, are all too willing to think this man is who he now says he is, a very rational, liberal, pragmatic Democrat, and not the combination of his real past experience, and his real past associations.
This is why I have tried to remind you of Moshe, who everyone thought was crazy, just like many of you think or would like to think that I am crazy now too.
