Death of Liberalism: 12 Myths Debunked in 2009
Myth #1: An African-American President will right all past wrongs.
Myth #2: Zero Population/Environmentalism/Ozone Hole/Global Warming/Climate Change are all man-made crises.
Myth #3: Throwing Money at a problem fixes it.
Myth #4: Threats by Muslims are not to be taken seriously, Americans are the ones who have caused their anger.
Myth #5: Unions like SEIU and other organizations like ACORN are out to help the little guy.
Myth #6: Women need to be saved.
Myth #7: The world will love us once we have a global president.
Myth #8: The Stimulus will give us jobs.
Myth #9: There is still a need for social justice.
Myth #10: If a company is too big to fail, we must put a safety net out to catch them.
Myth #11: Healthcare can be available to all and be free.
Myth #12: Compromising with Liberals will help us gain something, which is better than nothing.
I will not link to what debunked these myths but I will say that President Barack Obama has done more in the last year than Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Sr. and Jr., Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Ross Perot, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh combined in the last 30 years to convince Americans that Liberalism is a flawed and dangerous view of the world.

Jumping the Shark
It happened when to Fonzie when he literally "jumped the shark". Jon and Kate did it when they announced their divorce on tv the day they filed the papers. When Cousin Oliver showed up at the Brady household, they too had jumped the shark.
Yesterday, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee did it when they announced that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Some say that it was due to the fact that they wanted to pressure the Obama administration into passing Cap-and-Trade. If that were true they could have saved the planet and asked him to come over and pick up the award while he was in the neighborhood last week instead of sending him out there again, burning up more fuel than the prize is worth. Some say that he brought peace to the world through his ideas. Then why has Chicago with over twenty years of Obama's presence continue to fail to be a place where "grass not glass" exists.
The weakest argument here is the one that says, "Those who oppose this nod are just unamerican." They also said that about hoping Chicago did not get the 2016 Olympics and wishing for Obama's failure. Let's set the record straight. It is exactly American. To call a spade a spade has been American from the very beginning. Think of any great American from any part of the political, religious, or intellectual spectrum and decide if they were great because they compromised what they believed or that they stood firm in their beliefs and were immovable.
Everyone who feels that Obama deserved this award has yet to point to one concrete action, if not idea that has led to action, that justifies it. Yet to those who disagree with this award, we should just say, "Whatever" (the most annoying word to Americans according to a recent survey) and move on to more pressing matters like being vigilant in watching what the other hand is doing.

He sure is good at his job
Here is a snipet of an article quoting Mike Kruglik, Barack Obama's trainer in the Gamaliel Project:
Both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the Alinsky model of community agitation, wherein paid organizers learned how to "rub raw the sores of discontent," in Alinsky's words. One of Obama's early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:
He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.
The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent "self-interest" in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease. In these methods, euphemistically labeled "community organizing," Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.
Is it any wonder, then, that Obama's Alinsky Jujitsu is making mincemeat of the woman who merely interviewed Alinsky, wrote about him, and spent the next 30 years in corporate law and in the lap of taxpayer-funded luxury in government mansions?

Mike is connected to Jerry Kellman who brought him out to Chicago as we as placing the Comunity organizer ad that caught Barack Obama's eye. Gregory Galluzzo and Mary Gonzales found Gamaliel and had an agreement to work with Jerry Kellman.

Branches of the Tree
Glenn talked about the Valarie Jarette branch yesterday. I have been looking into the roots of this movement, the Conservative Vice Lords of Chicago founded in 1967, and who supported them in their first attempt to "community organize". I started out looking at the Roosevelt Foundation since Glenn had mentioned them in relation to Van Jones. Then I hit the Jackpot. The Roosevelt Foundation gave them $15,000 today's equivalent of $170,000+. I looked down the list and looked and saw that the Ford Foundation gave them $150,000 today's equivalent of more than $1.5 million. Quite a bit more of an investment there.
Then I found out a direct link to that group for Obama. You know that job that his mother had to get to in Indonesia, the one that made Barack have to study at 4:30 am everyday, it was with the Ford Foundation. Their next door neighbor, Fran Korten, worked with her and knew her when Brack was away at college in the States. She and her husband, David Korten, an author of several "community organization" books , run [u][b]Yes![/b][/u] a very liberal magazine from WA. The magazine, www.yesmagazine.org, ran a very interesting article on Van Jones and one was titled, "Van Jones is a Patriot". I also found out that Danny Glover is on the board of this magazine.
This is not a huge earth shaking link but is just another example of how radicals seem to flock around our current president and you know what they say, "Birds of a feather, flock together."
Another branch, really root I want to look into a little more is the money. If Glenn wants to stop corruption in this government, he needs to take a deep look at U.S.A.I.D. It is the where a lot of money is being funneled to these organizations that support leftist causes through our government. Guess who runs this organization? The Secretary of State decides how U.S.A.I.D. fund money is spent. I'll keep digging, but anyone else who wants to pick up a shovel can join in as well.
One more interesting detail about the Ford Foundation is that it sponsors www.OneWorld.net, news organization that takes stories about social justice, green movement stuff, and unions. Yesterday they had a story about human trafficking from Africa to Italy. No mention about ACORN though.

Hope and Change Need Not Apply
In a Previous post I posted the initial organizations that contributed in the late 1960's to the Conservative Vice Lords which were:
Rockefeller Foundation $15,000
Operation Bootstrap Matched
Field Foundation $25,000
Ford Foundation $130,000
Department of Labor $36,000
W. Clement Stone $60,000
A few of these foundations have links to Barack Obama today. Rockefeller Foundation endorsed Barack Obama. Christina Ichen was Directer of Field Foundation is his Director of Public Liaison and he was on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge board with Handy Lindsey, Jr. who was president of the Illinois Field Foundation.
The biggest link is that of the Ford Foundation. They were looking for big results from the Conservative Vice Lords judging from the size of their donation, which in todays money was well over a million and a half dollars. When searching to see if their is any link between them and Obama, I came across a few articles (some that went into conspiracy Manchiruan Candidate stuff) but it looks as if there is enough evidence to support the facts that Barack Obama's mother worked for the Ford Foundation in Indonesia and also worked there with Peter F. Geithner, the father of Timothy Geithner. You could say, well that wasn't at the same time but Barack Obama was around 21 while she worked there according to their neighbor Fran Korten.
All of these Foundations have ties to USAID, which is run by the State Department and have direct ties to Peter Geithner and Ann Soetoro. I plan on looking into that on another blog.
I have also been looking into the TransCentury Corporation which also has very strong ties to USAID. TransCentury was the organization that sent David Dawley out to Chicago to pioneer community organizing with the Vice Lords. It was founded by one of the founders of the Peace Corps, Warren Wiggens and a man named Richard Irish, who latewr ran the Club for Growth PAC.
The Bottom Line: These organizations that were alive and well in Chicago in the 1960's, were there in the 1980's, and are still there today. Did they nudge Barack Obama to where he is today? What are their agendas and motives? In light of what is coming out of ACORN recently, can researching what the aims of these same organizations were in the 60's help with what they aim to do today? Some of it is pretty scary stuff for another blog.
