EIGHT LEVELS OF CONTROL

Saul Alinsky died 43 years ago, but his writings influenced 
those in political control of our nation today...
                                                                         
Recall that Hillary did her college thesis on his writings, and 
Obama writes about him in his books.
Died:  June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA
Education:  University of Chicago
Spouse:  Irene Alinsky
Books:  Rules for Radicals; Reveille for Radicals 

Does anyone out there think that this stuff isn't happening today 
in the United States of America?
All eight rules are currently in play! 
                                                                           
How to create a Socialist State, by Saul Alinsky:
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before 
you are able to create a Social State.  The first is the most 
important. 
1) Healthcare --- Control healthcare and you control the people. 
2) Poverty --- Increase the poverty level as high as possible. 
Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you 
are providing everything for them to live. 
3) Debt --- Increase the debt to an unsustainable level... that 
way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more 
poverty. 
4) Gun Control --- Remove the ability for citizens to defend 
themselves from the Government.  That way you are able to 
create a Police State.                                                                     
5) Welfare --- Take control of every aspect of people's lives... 
(Food, Housing and Income). 
6) Education --- Take control of what people read and what 
people listen to � take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion --- Remove the belief in God from schools and the 
government.
8) Class Warfare --- Divide the people into the wealthy and the 
poor.  This will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to 
take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound like what is happening in the United States?
Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for 
world conquest by Communism under Russian rule.                                          
Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." 
These "Useful Idiots" have destroyed every nation in which they 
have seized power and control. 
  
It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.
                                                                          
If people can read this and still say everything is just fine�    
they are indeed �Useful Idiots!"

WHITE PRIVILEGE

uly 20, 2015

My white privilege

By Lewis Dovland


The latest progressive topic making news, white privilege, has caused me to stop and consider my own situation as a white man.  What privilege have I had that has produced a middle-class success for me?  Was it white privilege?

Let's see.  I was born to two parents who not only were the only people they were ever married to, but also stayed together in that marriage until death parted them, as did their parents.  They instilled in me a sense of social right and wrong and a respect for the law, and they saw to it that I was in church on a very regular basis.  They set the example for my siblings and me by actually walking the talk in every facet of life.  They were involved in my life. 

My upbringing would be called lower-middle-class by today's standard, to the point that my mother went to work in the 1960s and '70s because our family needed the extra income to make ends meet.  I still remember her reconstituting powdered milk and pouring it into the milk jug to stretch the large amount of milk that four growing children needed.

Based on their example, training, and oversight, I worked to get good grades in high school and graduated with a diploma.  While I was fortunate enough to attend college (not a requirement for success, by the way), I had to work a full-time job to pay for the last two years of my degree. 

I then married 33 years ago to the one and only person I've ever been married to, as has she, and after getting married, we bore and raised two daughters, both of whom are self-supporting adults.  We tried to instill in them the same foundational beliefs and actions that both our parents did in us.

When I first entered the workforce in about 1975, affirmative action programs were in place to ensure that minorities were not overlooked for employment.  This actually had morphed into a positive action to hire minorities, which caused the job market to tighten for non-minority workers.  So in some sense, my ability to find employment was more difficult during those years, and being white actually hurt, not helped.

And the amazing thing is that when we look at black Americans, we see that those who followed the steps above have a family income within five percent of the norm, including whites.  In studying all people, regardless of race, we find that those who follow those simple rules benefit from "privilege."  We see strong examples in the Indian and Asian communities and in legacy Hispanic/Latin households that exceed the economic gains of whites, primarily because of the items listed, with an emphasis on parental involvement. 

This is not white privilege, but the privilege of following the American culture, so let's call it "American privilege."  Anyone who has that can be a winner.  Go against that, and almost certainly failure will pursue you. 

So no, I didn't benefit from white privilege or from racism to succeed; I benefited from "American privilege."  I benefited from two solid parents who raised me well, and who raised me to participate in the American culture.  The same culture that for 200+ years build this shining city on a hill that is a beacon to the world, and the place to which so many people want to come.  And it is open to all who wish to partake.

That is my privilege.

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He hoped his shoes were shining,

Just as brightly as his brass.



'Step forward now, Soldier,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek?

To My Church have you been true?'

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,

'no, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.



I've had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,

That wasn't mine to keep.

Though I worked a lot of overtime,

When the bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though at times I shook with fear.

And sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except to calm their fears.



If you've a place for me here, Lord,

It needn't be so grand.

I never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.



There was a silence all around the throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the Soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.



'Step forward now, you Soldier,

You've borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,

You've done your time in Hell.'

~Author Unknown~

It's the Soldier,

not the reporter

Who has given us the freedom of the press.



It's the Soldier,

not the poet,

Who has given us the freedom of speech.



It's the Soldier,

not the politicians that ensures

Our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.



It's the Soldier

who salutes the flag,

who serves beneath the flag,

and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
