Nothing Else...
Those
of you who keep up with current events are aware that a substantial portion of
news casts and opinionated news programs are being spent on the Trayvon Martin
killing case. Authorities in the town of Stanford, Florida had no probably
cause to arrest George Zimmerman because the case appeared to be one of
self-defense, pretty cut and dried. Zimmerman was eventually arrested when the
United States Department of Justice, along with the White House, put pressure
on Stanford authorities to do so. The case eventually went to trial where then
jury found George Zimmerman not guilty. Now I’m not going to slog through the
low level details of this case, it’s not the purpose of this post.
It’s
what’s happening after the non-guilty verdict that has me concerned and it
should have you concerned also. There have already been many rallies across the
nation protesting the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman, most of which are
fueled by activist Al Sharpton, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and of
course, the White House. In addition to the aforementioned, Reverend Sharpton
is sponsoring rallies in 100 cities across the United States this coming
Saturday, July 20. According to al.com, there will be counselors at the rally
here in Birmingham to administer to those attendees who are having trouble
coming to grips with the verdict.
All
of these people attending all of these rallies just for someone they never
knew. People are killed every day in this country, maybe every hour; it’s a
common occurrence. Of course, it's not anything to be proud of, but it
happens; and when it does, we generally go on with our lives, shaking our heads
and saying that’s ashamed. Having counselors at this rally is just bizarre.
Ever
heard of Saul Alinsky? He was an American community organizer and writer in
Chicago and is remember by most for his book, “Rules for Radicals”. According
to conservapedia.com, Alinsky developed a method of local organizing that was
widely copied by democrats and influenced Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. In
fact, Hillary Clinton’s senior honors thesis was an analysis of the works of
Saul Alinsky and the effect they have on politics today. Barak Obama also had a
passion for Alinsky’s work and before he left Harvard, he wrote “After Alinsky
Community Organizing in Illinois”. Under the tutelage of an Alinsky admirer,
John L. McKnight, Obama says he got the “best education I ever had, better than
anything I got at Harvard Law School.”
Again,
according to conservapedia.com, Alinsky’s rules derive from many successful
campaigns where he sowed the seeds of class warfare with community organizing,
convincing the people that those of power and privilege were the root of all
their problems. “Rules for Radicals”, according to Alinsky, was written for
“have nots” to overtake the “haves”. His methods included, but were not limited
to organizing the masses through appealing to their emotions, in other words,
whipping up mobs for the purpose of assaulting the status quo.
What
do we see that’s going on in this nation even as I write this? Al Sharpton and
company are doing nothing more than “whipping up mobs” of those individuals who
disagree with the not guilty ruling in the George Zimmerman case, playing upon
their emotions. The individuals attending these rallies are sure to be plied
with propaganda such as anyone who agrees with the George Zimmerman verdict and
wants to put the matter to bed is a racist. What do you think the purpose of
these rallies are? To mourn the death of a teenager that none of them know
personally. Yea, right! No, the purpose of these rallies are to whip up the
attendees, then send the attendees out into the communities to perpetuate these
emotions. This is most definitely a tactic to divide the United States of
America by whatever means possible because a house divided cannot stand. Just
another method by which the leaders of this nation can continue their mission
to destroy the United States of America as we know it.
