Skip School: Obama Nation Needs YOU!

Summer’s here and it’s time to figure out what to do with the kids.

The school has taken care of them all year (food, shelter, socialization and even a little learning) but now what are we to do to keep them busy until they can get another decent meal in September?

Jobs are few and far between, of course, but our president doesn’t want an employment crisis to go to waste. So, while he’s looking for government jobs for the parents (like the census) there is always COMMUNITY ORGANIZING for the kids!

You too, can become an agitator for change!

Change Now!

There might be a lot written in the coming weeks about the new internship program being promoted through our State Schools. You’d think that summer programs for kids would be ALL OVER the news; especially since these jobs are supposed to translate into so many good things for our communities. But for some reason, some hateful people are comparing this and the AmeriCorps programs to the Nazi Brownshirts.

I say they might be writing articles, because since Congress gave AmeriCorps 5.7 Billion back in March of 2019, there hasn’t seemed to be much of a full court press from the media, promoting this goodness and light. Organizing for America (OFA) seems to be gearing up for a summer internship program, but you wouldn’t know it unless you went looking for it. I don’t know… getting almost 6 Billion dollars to do such good work… wouldn’t you be, you know… promoting the hell out of all the good work you’re doing?

Regarding the “agitation” curricula government programs will be using, I keep seeing Saul Alinsky’s words of wisdom creep into the vernacular. There are some wonderful things that are going to be taught to our up-and-coming agitators and organizers. Have a look at some of the principles and values our children will be learning this summer and probably next school year; so you (parents) won’t be surprised when they come home from school with their AmeriCorms home inspection teams:

Tactics

“Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. … Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves.” p.126

Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134):

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat…. [and] the collapse of communication.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time….”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside… every positive has its negative.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’…

“…any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?’ When your ‘freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments…. Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target…’

Asylum for German Homeschoolers

InsideCatholic.com is reporting that a German family (The Romeikes) that was facing all kinds of legal actions in Germany (including the confiscation of their chidlren for homeschooling) has received asylum here in the U.S.

From the InsideCatholic web site: After attempting to homeschool their children and being threatened with thousands in fines, jail time, and loss of custody of their kids, the Romeikes finally fled to the United States in 2008.Now their story has taken an interesting turn: A federal judge in Memphis has granted them political asylum in the States, on the grounds that they face persecution in their home country for their desire to homeschool — a reason that has rarely, if ever, been used in asylum cases before:

In a harshly worded decision, the judge, Lawrence O. Burman, denounced the German policy, calling it “utterly repellent to everything we believe as Americans,” and expressed shock at the heavy fines and other penalties the government has levied on home-schooling parents, including taking custody of their children.

Describing home-schoolers as a distinct group of people who have a “principled opposition to government policy,” he ruled that the Romeikes would face persecution both because of their religious beliefs and because they were “members of a particular social group,” two standards for granting asylum.

“It is definitely new,” said Prof. Philip G. Schrag, the director of Georgetown Law School’s asylum law program, who added that he had never heard of such a case. “What’s novel about the argument is the nature of the social group.”

But, he said, given the severity of the penalties that German home-schoolers potentially face, the judge’s decision “does not seem far outside the margin.”

This is good news for homeschoolers in the U.S. as well. This sets a bit of a prescident in the “You homeschoolers can’t educate your own children, so the state must do it for you,” department. By comparison, our U.S. education laws are quite libertarian!

For those who read and remember history (probably 35 years and older) it’s not too hard to see the “Hitler Youth” and State Control tactics that Germany is using on its people. The only real difference is that all the textbooks and materials in their schools aren’t geared towards worshiping the narcissist Hitler.

Good thing we’re not doing that here! (yet.)
