I found this on the internet today and thought I would share this with all of you.

In the showdown over the shutdown of the U.S. government, the Obamaites tipped their hand yesterday as what their strategy is.

Taking a page out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals," the plan is to maximize the people's pain -- to maximize the political damage to the enemy, the Republican Party.

What else explains it?

Consider this: Asked Wednesday if there were any danger of America defaulting on her debt, President Obama rushed to assure a reporter that, yes, indeed, there certainly is such a peril.

Why would a president act in so perverse a manner, were he not trying deliberately to rattle or panic the markets?

Obama's tactic worked. Thursday, the Dow plunged below 15,000.

Equally telling is what happened at the World War II Memorial.

This is an open memorial on the mall, to which the old soldiers of the Greatest Generation, flown here on honor flights, come to a last roll call with their comrades. The memorial is dedicated to them, to what they and their buddies did, and to those who never came home.

But when the old soldiers got here, the Park Service, apparently acting on orders from the White House complex, had thrown up steel barriers and crime-scene tape to keep them from visiting the site on what is surely the last trip many will ever make to see their memorial.

What kind of sick mind does something like that?

To their credit, the vets and their families pulled aside the barriers to walk through their monument, singing songs in memory of the heroes who had gone before.

Now one reads that Obama has ordered the cemetery and beaches at Normandy closed. Again, what kind of mindset produces this?

Undeniably, Republicans have v**ed to defund Obamacare, to suspend it for one year, and to reform it. But in each of these three v**es, the House also v**ed to fund the entire government.

Why, then, is the government shut down? Because Harry Reid and Barack Obama have issued an edict: Either Obamacare is fully funded and untouched in the continuing resolution, or we k**l the CR, shut down the government, and blame you.

And this is exactly what is going on.

This is all about a petulant president whose prize program the people do not want, but who insists it be imposed upon them, to assure himself a paragraph in the history books.

This week, Republicans tried to pass legislation that would keep open all memorials and monuments, all tourist sites in Washington, D.C., and all programs for America's veterans.

Who stonewalled that? Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Definitely the best course of action for such a mess. Furthermore, I hope a republican President and Senate Speaker would act the same to any threat from a Democratic Speaker being controlled by a liberal faction. The United States of America shall never negotiate with reversing laws of the government by an act to shutdown the government of the United States of America. It shall always be done in accord with representatives v****g on the measures in the House, the Senate and signed into law by the President of the United States of America without any budget threats to the People of the United States of America.

You can probably throw all those laws and rules out the window with this lawless socialist administration in office. obama has no rules and ignores the constitution. What ever happens to obama and his administration he has brought on himself. :thumbup:

The Libs does not care about 'We The People'..nor do they care about America....The Libs are a bunch of liars. Obama shut down down the WW 2 center just for meaness..That is so sad that Obama is so hard hearted..He is out to ruin America and Constitution...He is illegal, plus He admitted that he was Muslim....Wake up America, We need to have Him tried for treason, plus letting our people beg for assistance with the Benjhazi attacks, and would not respond to their requests for help..

There is at least one person who is very happy that Obama is president and that is Jimmy Carter. He is no longer regarded as the worst president ever as that title now goes to the emperor and apologist in chief-Barack Hussein Obama. If there is an America left after the next three years, it will hardly be recognizable as the country we grew up in. Using the Cloward and Piven theory, this Marxist is dismantling our country piece by piece. He will not negotiate because in his twisted c*******t mind he has all the answers. Vladamir Putin said," negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon-he knocks all of the chess pieces down, craps all over the board then struts around as if he won the game." In the old days he would have been ridden out of town on a rail. Good Luck America !!!

Unfortunately the hand writing is on the wall. I agree but the fights on. We can just keep trying to rid of the socialists in office.

I am no fan of Obama's but I think you have the wrong party that caused the shut down. I believe it was not the democrats who shut down the goverment.

vernon

charlie read what they said, the republicans will do what we want or we will shut it down,they said it all through sept. and now its down.now we need to leave it down until these demorat thug senators are going to have to start behaving,this has been going onfor 5 yrs arnt you tired of it?and the senate hasent done a budget in 5 yrs why are they worried about it now?

Charlie412,this shut down the result of Harry Reid and Obama refusing to negotiate on anything. The republicans in the House have passed funding bills for every part of the government that is shut down and sent them on to the senate where king Harry has totally ignored them because they want the shut down. Funding bills are initiated in the House of Representatives and are then sent on to the Senate and if changes are made they go into conference and resolve the differences then they take a final v**e for passage. The republicans have been in effect cut out of the process and now King Reid and Emperor Obama feel they have the right to dictate to congress and the American people what is good for them whether you like it or not. The majority of the American people do not want Obamacare and if you are one of those -too bad-we know what is best for you so shut up. Aren't you sick and tired of being dictated to by your employees??? Obama has screwed up the economy where it is creating only part time jobs, he has loaded us down with more debt in five years than all the previous presidents combined, he is destroying the best health care system in the world, and all he has to do is continue to unilaterally disarm us and we are ripe for takeover. Look up Cloward and Piven and see if he isn't following that plan to a T. Good Luck America !!!

What is really d********g is the over 2500 waivers and delays Obama has issued with this law, and yet the current talking point is this law was passed and upheld by the Supreme Court, which law? the original one or the one that's been changed 2500 times

Charley412

Ricko if you read what I said that I was no fan of Obama. I am also not fan of Obama care.

But your statement, 'we know what is best for you so shut up'

You could not possibly know what is best for anyone and if you are like most
humans I have met you may not know what is best for you.

I did see a lot of t***h in your reply to me.

Ricko Loc: Florida

Charley412 you clearly misunderstood my statement. Obama and Reid know what is best for all of us and therefore we should shut up and accept what they think is best for all of us. We are in the same boat and the only thing we can do is v**e Reid and his fellow democrats out of office before they sink the country. Good Luck America !!!
