Obama Administration 'Threatens' Americans In Wake Of Another Terrorist Attack

[Oldstyle]

The rise of ISIS is one of those situations that calls for real leadership, Herewego! Barack Obama has not been up to the task because he's not good at doing the tough jobs that being the US President demands. He's a "leading from behind" kind of guy!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

So you guys are ok with inciting violence?

This statement by the Attorney General was totally predictable...it's essentially the Obama Administration admitting that they have no idea how to keep Americans safe from radical Islamic terrorists and are now worried about a backlash from Americans towards Muslims.

the backlash is already happening.

Oh well......

Loretta Lynch Vows to Prosecute Those Who Use 'Anti-Muslim' Speech That 'Edges Toward Violence'...
LINK: Loretta Lynch Vows to Prosecute Those Who Use 'Anti-Muslim' Speech That 'Edges Toward Violence'

"The day after a horrific shooting spree by a "radicalized" Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence."

might as well kick the plug out of the wall on the server that runs this place.....

and good luck with that Loretta. First Amendment. People can say pretty much what they damn well please, with some caveats, and 'edging toward' something isn't one of them, nor should it be, as it is too broad and open to discretion and abuse.

Barry has a plan? Really...

Sure,and he's implementing it right now.
More illegal wetback voters and terrorist.
Saul Alinsky would be proud...good old barry is following the rules to a T.

More like leading from his knees....
At this point I'm finding it hard to believe this is all incompetence.
No one is that stupid.

You just watched Barry put his foot in his mouth once again by demanding more gun control laws in the wake of what appears to be a terror attack on US soil, Herewego! He and his merry band of progressives in that White House really ARE that stupid! They keep doing the same thing...over and over again. I literally don't think they have anyone in that inner circle with enough intelligence and common sense to urge caution before speaking out.

of course not, but inciting is different than 'edging towards' something.

insinuating isn't inciting. saying 'I wish such and such' isn't inciting. WTF exactly is 'edging'.

give me a break on prosecuting people because it 'seemed as if they were heading in that direction' which is what I think it means (barring any definition from Loretta, as I guess we're all left to figure that out on our own anyhow). By that logic arrest every person on the no-fly or terrorist watch list or made a stupid facebook post damning America and do it right now, if that's the new standard.

inciting is inciting and there's no need for Loretta to open her yapper on the issue, as the law already exists for that.

'edging toward' is waaaaay too open to interpretation. What's next, they threaten to rap us in the knuckles with a ruler for talking in class. good grief.

And I'm saying it's all on purpose.
That they are trying to stir up shit is becoming all to obvious.
Surely you know the 12 rules? Obama is right on track.

Oldstyle..

Here's eight of em..

 

[Oldstyle]

You've got a little cadre of community organizers trying to run a country, Herewego...they've been so far over their heads this entire time it would be amusing except for the damage they've done to the country with their naive governance.

 

[Oldstyle]

Hey, I agree with you completely...their end goal is to turn the US into a European style socialist state...they can't quite grasp that what's made America so exceptional since our inception. They're willing to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I could go with that if it wasnt one disaster after another. And the fact that all these disasters help achieve the 12 rules in some way.
And to tell you the truth the republicans are right there with em.

Saul's rules...

Rules for Radicals

In 1971, Saul Alinsky wrote an entertaining classic on grassroots organizing titled Rules for Radicals. Those who prefer cooperative tactics describe the book as out-of-date. Nevertheless, it provides some of the best advice on confrontational tactics. Alinsky begins this way:
What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.
His “rules” derive from many successful campaigns where he helped poor people fighting power and privilege

For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting what is wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it. The two are linked. If people feel they don’t have the power to change a bad situation, they stop thinking about it.

According to Alinsky, the organizer — especially a paid organizer from outside — must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a bad situation. Alinsky would say, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization.”

Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a “mass army” that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, services groups, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.

Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people.
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their 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.”

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”
