I think there is a great danger in appearing to play too rough. When you are beginning the fourth quarter and you have to fight off the refs, every block and tackle risks a rigged flag thrown on you.

The Democratic Party Media is poised and ready to pounce on any attempt to take the gloves off by the Republicans. Remember, in national elections in this land of ours, as a Republican you get to choose a moderator who a)is openly for your opponent or b) who does a better job of hiding the fact that they are for your opponent.

In no other contest of expression of ideas is it so brazenly accepted that your “moderator” is NEVER going to be on your side, but always aligned against you. It is so brazen, in fact, that “moderators” can have glaring conflicts of interest, be writing books about the coming “Age” or “Era” of your opponent…and intentionally fail to disclose the glaring conflict.

Apparently, this may be overcome when a moderator who is against you, sets up tent in a Lion’s Club auditorium and then filters and plants the questions to cause the most lopsided impact, while appearing to be “randomly” elicited from the “audience”.

Then, upon finishing the rigged contest, not only are you subjected to the fixed game DURING the debate, you will have the judges scoring the debate in the motif of “Dancing With the Dems”, first they will decide “rather subjectively” that they didn’t like anything you said or did and give you a 2 on the paddleboard.

Your opponent, who tripped all over themselves and performed an ugly Paso Duplicity to the tune of “Who You Gonna Believe, Me or Your Lioneers”…will be given a “win” in the “polls” of all those who called and texted in their votes to Kos Kidz and the Huffington Post.

It’s a rigged game. The fix is in. The issue isn’t Ayers and his attempt as a co-conspirator to murder men in uniform with a nail gun bomb at Ft. Dix as well as their innocent dates. It’s not Barney Frank covering for Herb Moses and those campaign advisors Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson who pocketed millions and cooked the books, creating the financial crisis and the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac meltdown.

It’s not about Tony Rezco, Rashid Khalidi, Khalid al Mansour, Robert Malley, Samantha Power, Tony McPeak and the hate Israel crowd.

It is not about Michael Klonsky, Carl Davidson, Frank Marshall Davis, the New Party, Sam Graham-Felsen, Noam Chomsky, and the hate America crowd.

This is about Saul Alinsky. He wrote that no freedom loving democracy can withstand an attack on its own rules. That it was powerful and mighty against forces aligned against it from the outside, but its weakness was, that if you pressed it to follow its own rules of morality, you could kill it from the inside.

We allowed our information stream to be taken over in academia, in tv news, in newspapers, in Hollywood, …with nothing more than bleating protests and empty rhetoric. We called the tune, now we pay the piper.

And, we cross our fingers. We don’t know and we will never know…until after the fact…whether Alinsky’s Revolution is at hand. We can’t know, but if we don’t see the signs and signals…we are deaf, dumb and blind.

Perhaps Sen. Obama is simply an Ivy League elitist who is tone deaf in his left ear and clogged with earwax on the right. Perhaps. Certainly an ongoing debate at the Volokh Conspiracy by Professor Kerr gives me hope.

But an in depth study of the Alinsky model, under which Sen. Obama was trained and even taught workshops, combined with the cadre of insiders, advisors, contributors and “friends” of the Obama campaign…who all share a visceral, raging, frothing hatred and antipathy of our free market economy, our ally…Israel, our military, our Middle Class, our faith based beliefs and our independent thinking unbundled from the UN and notions of “citizens of the world” Socialism…reveals footlights along a path that is undeniable in its adherence to the Alinsky model.

How would we know if this is an end game in the Alinsky model? Would anyone step up and admit it? Of course, not. How would we recognize the building blocks and pieces being put into place? Remember, Alinsky raged against open and notorious confrontation. He wanted to boil the frog…by placing it in the pot when the water was comfortable…and raising it one degree at a time.

How would we protect ourselves from the tearing down of our self-governing fabric, when one thread at a time was being pulled out? What would it look like…and if anyone raised the alarm…how would the Alinskyites respond?

First, they would tear down our ability to communicate and to get information that wasn’t tainted. They would rape the information stream. Then, they would create chaos, economic crisis would be the best. They would pick a target of hatred…a President would be good…and no matter what he did, they would pound on him relentlessly. They would create uncertainty and fear…and then blame the “other” for their own creation.

They would pit racial warfare and class warfare at every turn. They would say that the “world” hates us…then plant stories in their stolen information stream to fulfill the prophecy. They would slander the country, then call down the echoes of that slander from our enemies.

And we would sit by idly while they put every piece together over 40 years. Recognizing some of it, but never putting it all together.

Finally, they would begin to build their own Presidential Seal. They would work to choke off dissent by shouting down opposition, “calls to action” to clog the remaining communication vehicles, provide “cover” in their bought and paid for media and begin to take away the ability to defend ourselves…with “fairness doctrines” and attacks on each Bill of Rights Amendment one by one. They would train military style youth groups to “get in the face” of anyone who doesn’t vote properly. They would sing songs to the Leader for Life, a charismatic and soothing speaker…with no discernable background to uncover.

They would shelve the revolutionary guard and red guard units into deep background. No official title or position would be given to them…today. Legal maneuvers would be used to attack opponents and drive them out of contention. The race card would be played…causing hesitation and reluctance to speak.

It may not be that this will come to pass. I freely admit…we simply don’t know. And that’s the point…we won’t know. Not now, not anymore. There’s a chill wind blowing and it muffles the bell that tolls. It tolls for you.
