REVEILLE IS TAPS

The liberal cultural revolt and political protest to steer America from its values and constitutional moorings was germinated in the generation of the sixties. With the help of a community organizer (Saul Alinsky) that penned and employed tactics (Rules for Radicals) to undermine the power of the perceived powerful, the progressive party was born.

Make no mistake, Hillary Clinton and the current Democratic Party are the Alinsky radicals. A recent letter by Hillary to Saul Alinsky was unearthed dated on July 8, 1971 in which Hillary writes her mentor for the timetable of his new book. She states "I have just had my one thousandth conversation about REVEILLE and need some new material to throw at people." (REVEILLE FOR RADICALS was Alinsky's first book penned in 1948.) Forty three years later Hillary is still throwing people sophism in order to gain power, but hey "what difference does it make?" (Read full text of letter here) 

 

The anti-establishment has come full circle and their victim-hood mantra rings phony up against their hefty portfolios. Like all systemic revolutions either bloody fought or infectiously propagandized the initial revolt's ideological imperative is touted as morally superior and as such; duty rather than heresy grows their movement based on righteousness.That is until your moral high ground falls under your own feet of clay.

The echoes of that past clarion call to lift up the have-nots and give them what the "haves" have, was heard in the Occupy Wall Street protests. Instead of a movement however it revealed a mockery. The age old clash of class warfare for liberals isn't working today for three timeless reasons. 

The first reason for failure is not knowing when to take off the uniform or put another way, to continue to fight after you have won. When a band of over-throwers finally controls the power but continues to prance and preach the underdog message, then their message rings empty, hollow and deceptive. 

The Saul Alinsky liberals (Hillary Clinton and ilk) are in control of our government yet they continue to act as though they are poor disenfranchised outsiders. It is not only a laughable image, it reveals their true heartless intent for power that for years was masked behind their lustful lies of equality. They have become the establishment, they have become the consummate insider, they have become rich off the backs of their so called flock of have-nots.

The second reason for their failure is the constant need to be relevant after success. What becomes endemic to all groups of cause or activists is the need to either deny progress on their goal or to move the goal post to include new causes. From feminism to the NAACP the only way to stay relevant and necessary is to deny the gains made and or redefine their goals far afield from their original formation. In the case of the two groups cited they have done both. The NAACP denies race relations have improved and focuses its energy today as a PAC for Democrats, while the Feminist movement denies its success against chauvinism and now focuses on the "glass ceiling" or the perception that women are barred from the top rungs of power in business.

The problem with these transmutations of activism is that the public is asked to deny the truth bombarding the reality swirling around them and instead digest a fairy tale victimhood devoid of any poison apples except those espoused by well fed preachers. To remain loyal and faithful followers of liberal groups requires a cult-like mindset that eventually sours the loyal to believe in nothing.

Lastly but no less historically significant as to why any agent of change that seeks to infiltrate power and dominate will fail, is the Achilles heel of mankind, or the imperfection of human mortal sin occurring first in the Garden of Eden; playing god. From Lord Acton's famous quote "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." to the Orwellian theme that showcases animals acting as treacherously as their once human masters, the ego is mankind's universal enemy. 

It is the enemy (man's ego) that our forefathers fretted in designing a Constitution that gave too much power vested in both the federal government and the bodies within that government. The balance of power is there to neutralize a president evolving into a king or a Congress propping one up as a figurehead. Federalism was the main branch of power to insure that the federal government would always be subservient to the states and thereby answerable to ultimately; We The People.

Yes, the sixties produced the sit-ins and the bra-burning cultural revolutionaries that claimed to want equality for the masses against the wealthy powerful elites, but like all egocentric malcontents living in the Garden progressives ruined America's Eden for the rest of us. Where have we come since Saul Alinsky and Hillary Clinton's rise to power beyond the glass ceiling? We have become inundated with radical zealots intent to communize our nation into a free fall of historic disintegration like the Roman empire.

 

Yet, there is hope. There is an awakening and a rebirth in the belief in American Exceptionalism. The Tea Party movement unlike liberal activists want to restore constitutional adherence and they rejects a victim mindset. Humility and Judeo-Christian values  bore us and equally it is the road to restore us.

As the mask of liberal lies falls off the faces of progressive with each passing day they hold power, the country notes that the change liberals wrought is Snowball's farm. Even darker and more enslaving then the drunk farmer's neglect. Yes, the Reveille of radical anti-American progressive liberals is losing loyalists and  if you listen real close, Taps can be heard getting louder and louder each day.

GOLF BALLS, GOOF BALLS AND MISSING BALLS

The emotional political temperature of the country's voters is heating up fast over the recently exposed disengagement of our President. For a man who campaigned relentlessly to win re-election to sit in the oval office chair of world power, it is curious and infuriating to many that he spends his time oblivious to crisis while sitting in a golf cart.  

Beyond the President's partisan politicking and fund raising for his progressive Democrat Party his presidency has been a characterized as weak and feckless. While there is agreement on both sides of the aisle about his lack of strong leadership there are two competing pseudo psychological analyses as to why he fails to roll up his sleeves and do the work required of his office. Some saying he is in over his head while others suggest that his inattentiveness is a calculated disregard.

Either way, many Americans are both frustrated and worried that our borders are being neglected at the worst possible time, given the rise of the organized terror group calling itself ISIS. Neither the President nor the officials in his administration have reached out to assure Americans that the government is actively and confidently guarding the homeland against attacks.

Instead the President acted against his own primary foreign policy strategy of not doing "stupid (expletive)" and stupidly told the whole world that America is without a strategy regarding ISIS. Put another way, the President undressed on the world stage and left no doubt that his lackluster actions to date would not loom larger in the future.

The rub against the Obama presidency is that he is unqualified to govern a nation and too professorial in confronting America's serious issues. This president has little stock left of his bully pulpit clout both home and abroad.  Worse than Jimmy Carter's famous "malaise speech" our current Commander in Chief seems more distracted than overwhelmed and more carelessly unconcerned than just indecisive. 

Careful observers of this President will notice that more often times than not, when the president does address the nation his facts do not comport with reality and are, in fact, completely opposite. He continues to talk about a recovering economy while youth still flip burgers with a Bachelor's degree. He claims the border is secure and we know it is a sieve. He has claimed the world is relatively calm yet even those casually aware of world affairs realize the hostilities by enemy states and terror groups continues to grow. 

But what has a lot of Americans hot under the collar is his administration's constant denial of radical Islam and the war they are waging against America and the whole western world. This is not a criminal enterprise to be policed, or a junior varsity gang of thugs to scare out of committing mayhem. Rather it is a growing want-a-be caliphate army of radical religious zealots that will not stop recruiting, growing and killing until their fascists' dreams are put six feet underground. 

How is it that at the same time that a caliphate army is growing, in the lawless lands of ousted or besieged Mid-East countries (Libya, Syria, Iraq) who have beheaded Americans and vow to attack us with greater carnage on our own soil, do we have no control over our borders?

This is the lesson of Benghazi. Not a lesson for the White House. Not a lesson for conservatives that never voted for a liberal community organizer to become Commander in Chief. No this is a lesson for all those who voted for Obama aware that his administration lied about Benghazi being a protest caused by a video. For all those that voted for him inexplicitly believing his foreign policy was strong while he hid behind Candy Crowley's skirt during the debate over his words and actions post Benghazi. 

What difference does it make? Open borders (no security just like they left Ambassador Stevens), distrust in government because it lies and spies on good citizens while refusing to call out Muslim jihadists(Fort Hood workplace violence), arming the enemy with American weapons (Libyan fighters and lack of security force agreement in Iraq), playing golf immediately after ISIS beheads an American journalist (President absent from situation room during Benghazi) and heads to Vegas to campaign while the dead American bodies are still warm. No soldiers left behind was the reason for the Bergdahl swap and release of five GITMO Islamic war criminal terrorists? Well, then why did Obama leave four men to die in Benghazi?  Do you see a pattern; now? 

America has earned the right to be proud of our history, our military, our culture and our values but this administration has told us we "didn't build that" and that we are racists, bigots and Islam-a-phobic. This while we watch a video of Americans being be-headed and view our America's President puttying around on the green pitiless. 

  

Instead of strong leadership, we Americans see golf balls and golf carts from the White House. Instead of sane and secure foreign policy, we see goof ball plans from advisors trying to appease the political optics of a disengaged President. Instead of promoting American fearlessness on the world stage, we see our President exposing his lack of manhood as he refuses to call Muslim killers cowards as they rape and kill women and children. Yes, there is a difference between a president and a poser.
