OPINION:
Has it occurred to anyone but me that for the past two years America’s entrenched establishment has been using Saul Alinsky’s tactics of radicalism to destroy America’s duly elected president? Alinsky was the self-styled Chicago communist, activist and community organizer whose acolytes brought a young Barack Obama into the fold. He is the man who wrote the book “Rules for Radicals,” which he dedicated to Lucifer, the devil, for being the first ’radical’ by opposing God.
Four of Alinsky’s most important rules were these: 1) Accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing; 2) Isolate your enemy; 3) Attack, attack, attack; and 4) The truth doesn’t matter; what’s important is what people believe.
There is abundant evidence that the Clinton campaign “colluded” with the Russians to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president and that higher-ups in the FBI and CIA helped them and later exonerated them. But through their nefarious efforts we have spent the past two years striving to bring down our freely elected president with no evidence to support their allegations.
It must be obvious by now to anyone with half a brain that there is and has been an ongoing effort to strip Mr. Trump of any allies (i.e., to “isolate” him). It must also be admitted that Mr. Trump is under constant attack in the mainstream media as well as by those in the entrenched Washington “swamp” (and was even before he was sworn in as president). There is a constant drum beat of propaganda drilling in the message that everything Mr. Trump does is wrong, evil or bad for the country.
I’m 86 years old now, but can still remember when the United States of America was acclaimed worldwide as the greatest nation in the world. And, I can still remember when, as a child, I often thanked God that I had been born at just the right time and in just the right place to be born in the greatest country in the history of the world. Sadly, though, I’ve watched my beloved country being led deeper and deeper into the swamp by one globalist/socialist regime after another. Thankfully, the American people woke up on election night in 2016. Let’s hope they don’t go back to sleep again. Maybe — God willing — it isn’t too late.
