Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
Time Magazine and the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals:
Target: Glenn Beck – the pudgy, buzz-cut, weeping phenomenon of radio, TV and books.
Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?
Time Cover January 13, 1995: IS RUSH LIMBAUGH GOOD FOR AMERICA?
While the left tries their best to demonize, marginalize and polarize Glenn Beck, his ratings continue to soar.
They miss the point entirely in the haste to cover-up their corrupt partners that got them elected. Acorn has fallen, next up is the SEIU, followed by the great number of extremists in the Obama administration. You know he’ll throw them all under the bus to do his best to maintain power. Unfortunately, the 2010 elections will mean the end of Democratic control in congress.
Faced with the obvious, Obama has formed a new power base through his Czars and by getting far-left George Soros Backed groups to write the bills. This is what Beck is bringing to light, and remarkably bringing down piece by piece, on a weekly basis.
Saul would be proud if this was a radical following his plan. But Beck represents middle America and by using the radicals tactics, he has turned the tables.
In Canada, we can learn a lot from Beck. The “silent majority” in Canada has been pacified by generations of Liberal control.
It’s time we stand up to the threats to our free speech, the obscene taxation at every level of government, social programs that have bred generations of freeloaders, and the massive size of government. It’s been said that Canadian’s have never found a tax they didn’t love. I don’t believe this.
We need to let political leaders know that enough is enough, and that if they stand up for less spending, lower taxes, and the end to the nanny state, that we’ll elect them into a majority.
I have never voted in Canada in my 46 years, because I have seen it as a waste of time. Having lived in Alberta for most of my life, the conservatives always were a shoe in. In Vancouver, I have looked at the polls and my candidate has always won by a landslide. (I am in one of the few riding where a conservative can win).
In BC, we have a Liberal party that has outright lied to the voters and now is trying to balance the budget through harmonizing our excessive PST with the GST. Ignoring that they will crush the sales of big ticket items, decimate our housing market, and that they would have lost the election had they told us… they are hell bent to drive BC into the ground. BC, per capita, is worse off than California on almost every level.
Now that the silent majority is showing its power in the US, I am hopeful that this will happen here.
It’s no coincidence that the non-confidence vote never happened this week. The left knows that they are under the microscope and people are on to their plans for us. Jack Layton backed Harper??!
Watching Beck (yes, I bucked up for Fox News) inspires me that there is hope in Canada.
My only question is: “Who’s going to be Canada’s Glenn Beck”?

Well since the tv news is owned by CTV and CBC and they are left leaning and Global ….I don’t know who ownes that one…pickings are slim to none to get a canadian version of Fox especially on televison…..radio on the other hand has some talk shows that question and demand answers but they are limited to their area of broadcast or the internet during the day. I truly wish we had a Glen Beck but how can he get his message across when the major networks are owned or are being controlled by left leaning boards and would not want a new kid on the block to take their viewers and of course there is the good old CRTC. If you look at the specialty channels they all go back to one of the major networks that own them. If anyone has a answer to this question please let us know
