The Insidious Enemy
By Tom Wright at American Daughter
Most conservatives are wondering, “What can I, personally, do to help stop Obama’s anti-America juggernaut?” Recall that grammatically incorrect statement — “All politics is local.” It’s true! Every marxist and conservative in Washington is there because of local politics.
Do this. All patriotic citizens who cherish the vision of our founding fathers for the United States should attend the local Precinct Convention for their political party. It is at these meetings that the process of composing the party platform begins. At the Convention you will be asked to vote for or against Resolutions that will be forwarded to the County Convention, and if passed there, on to the State Convention. This is how national party platforms and some state laws are formed.
You can affect both party platforms and state laws. Make up your own Resolutions. Make them plain and specific to one issue. Give concrete and detailed reasons why adopting the resolution is necessary. If your Resolution is against the actions of a group, give no quarter. Take 3 copies to be signed and forwarded to the County Convention. Take many more to pass out to attendees.
The primary elections in the race for Texas governor will be held this Tuesday, March 2 for both major parties. Following the primaries, precinct meetings will be held to compose the party platforms. Conservative Texans are urged to attend their Precinct’s Convention about 7:15 p.m. next Tuesday. When you vote, ask someone where it will be held. It will likely be in a school classroom, cafeteria, etc.
At other times and in a variety of formats, similar efforts will be taking place in all of the other states. All patriotic Americans should learn the particulars for their location and become involved. The ideological forces of Marxism and Islamic sharia have insinuated themselves into the fundamental levels of our democratic process, and have permeated our public education. An overwhelming participation by true patriots is needed to rout them.
Here’s a bit of background. In 1961 (or 1962, I forget), I attended a meeting of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade in the Emerald Room of the (then) Shamrock Hotel, in Houston, Texas. One of the many guest speakers was Herb Philbrick — whose real life experience in infiltrating the Communist party was the basis for the TV series, “I Led Three Lives.”
Philbrick told how the communists had taken control of many civic organizations across America, including his home town’s civic association in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The communists had previously gone to classes to learn Robert’s Rules of Order — and they learned those rules perfectly. They then went to many civic organizations’ meetings and participated. At every opportunity, they raised simple “points of order.” They would then, helpfully, state how some motion, etc., should have been handled. Soon, they had the confidence of the usual hometown Americans — who frequently knew nothing about the use of parliamentary law in meetings. Soon, everyone agreed that the person who knew the rules should become the president of the local organization.
Once in the controlling positions of the organization, they used the organization (and the organization’s money) to promote the communist agenda. As a local civic association, they had the local stature to raise funds. As the controlling officers, they had the power to direct those funds to the use of the Communist Party’s causes. The local civic organizations became communist fronts.
The same thing is going on today, not only by proponents of socialism, but now in addition by muslims, who seek to institute Sharia Law in our communities. One of their prime targets is the Precinct Convention meeting — after the primary polls close.
Be Warned!
- Buy a copy of and brush up on Robert’s Rules of Order.
- Many towns have “Parliamentary Law Clubs,” where ladies (mostly) fellowship together in a civic club with a purpose. Frequently, the members of such clubs are officers in other community organizations. If your town has one, join it. Those ladies are great contacts for networking.
- Get your friends and neighbors to attend your Precinct meetings. Yes. I know. “It’s a pain.” Just do it. Or let the Muslims have the power in your local community.
- Carry multiple copies (many require three copies) of typed party planks, to be voted on and forwarded to the County and State conventions. Don’t try to prepare them on the spot.
- Do not allow any muslim to intimidate you by saying that you are persecuting him because of his religion. Islam is both a religion and a political system. Sharia Law is a political issue.
But, first and foremost: Don’t let foreign subversives — whether Marxist or Islamic — get control of your local organizations, precinct chairmanships, county organizations, or state organizations.
I’m a Texan so, as an example, let me share the resolution that I will be offering this Tuesday evening. For background, read this article — Organizing Kids for Obama:
President Barack Obama’s budget has added more than $100 billion of federal taxpayers’ money to what is called “education,” so that means it will be spent by alumni of the Saul Alinsky school of radical community organizing and/or the Chicago Democratic machine…. Obama is using the public schools to recruit a private army of high-schoolers to “build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda.” We now know that Obama’s “agenda” is to move the United States into European-style socialism….
Obama’s Internet outreach during his campaign, Obama for America, has been renamed Organizing for America (OFA) in order to recruit students to join a cult of Obama and become activists for his goals. …the teacher of an 11th-grade government class in Massillon, Ohio, passed out the sign-up sheet, headed with Obama’s “O” logo, asking students to become interns for Organizing for America….
This must never happen in my state. Here’s my Resolution:
Resolution Opposing Use of Texas Public Schools for Community Organizing
WHEREAS in his inauguration speech, President Obama promised to “transform this country;”
WHEREAS in his budget, the Obama administration added more than $100 billion in taxpayer’s money for what he listed as “Education;”
WHEREAS at American Taxpayer expense, his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, mailed instructions to every school on how to participate in the September 8 political speech that was broadcast to public school children, making it clear that he has no reservations about using taxpayer money to promote his agenda;
WHEREAS Mr. Obama’s campaign Internet outreach — Obama For America — has been renamed “Organizing for America” (OFA) with the purpose of recruiting students to become activists for his goals;
WHEREAS the application to join the OFA Internship program states its goal as, “empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change;”
WHEREAS the application further states, “credit must be approved by your school ahead of time;”
WHEREAS OFA’s “National Intern Organizer Curriculum” includes a reading list that includes Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals;”
WHEREAS OFA’s reading list also includes Zack Exley’s “The New Organizers” in which it brags about “an insurgent generation of organizers” inside the Obama campaign that has “almost without anyone noticing … built the Progressive movement a brand new and potentially durable people’s organization, in a dozen states, rooted at the neighborhood level;”
WHEREAS on OFA’s reading list is Rinku Sen’s “Stir It Up: Lessons from Community Organizing and Advocacy;”
WHEREAS on OFA’s reading list is Obama’s “Dreams of My Father,” who is well known as a radical Marxist-Leninist;
WHEREAS a federal government organization, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), having a budget of $1.416 billion, oversees other taxpayer funded “service organizations;”
WHEREAS CNCS oversees Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, which regularly dole out millions of Dollars to radical liberal organizations; and
WHEREAS the U.S. Senate has recently confirmed CNCS’s new chief executive, Patrick Corvington, who was a senior official of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which has given over a million and one-half dollars to the Acorn network of organizations;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we urge the Texas Legislature to enact legislation requiring that neither Texas public schools nor their students be used as instruments for political agendas, such as community organization, but, rather focus on history, reading, writing, mathematics, and science.
Adopted this 2nd day of March, 2010, at the Precinct Convention of Precinct # ____ of the Republican Party of Texas.

THE MILLSTONE DIARIES 
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IS A RECURRING NIGHTMARE FOR THE UK

Inquiry Finds Government-Run Hospital Inhumane and Appalling
By Jerry A. Kane
An independent investigation reports that heath care providers at a National Health Service hospital caused “unimaginable” suffering to patients. The devastating report finds that the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust (hospital) in the United Kingdom routinely subjected sick and dying patients to “inhumane treatment” through neglect and by leaving hundreds to die in squalor.
The inquiry, released February 24, said hospital administrators allowed staff numbers to fall “dangerously low,” preventing nurses from providing basic care, which led to the following list of horrors:
The report, conducted by Queen’s Counsel investigator Robert Francis, also increased death-toll numbers from 400 to nearly 1,200; last year the Department of Health and NHS regulators estimated hospital deaths from 2005 to 2008.
“It is time that the public were told the truth about the very large number of excess deaths in NHS care and the very large number of avoidable but deadly errors that occur every day,” said Julie Bailey founder of Cure the NHS.
The report revealed that hospital administrators cared more about meeting government goals and cutting costs than providing safe, adequate care for the patients. Francis condemned hospital bureaucrats for fixating on cutting waiting times to meet Labour targets and neglecting dying patients.
“These awful events show how badly Labour has let down NHS patients. It should never again be possible for managers to put a tick in a box marked ‘target met’ while patients are pushed off to a ward and left to die,” Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said.
Francis reported that chief administrator, Martin Yeates, had failed to resolve the hospital’s “governance and staffing issues” because his administration “focused on systems” instead.
Before becoming Mid Staffordshire’s chief heath care administrator, Yeates had worked in the hotel industry and had managed a catering department at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry. He was hired in September 2005 to develop “a more businesslike approach” to help the hospital gain foundation trust status, considered the standard for excellence in the NHS. Mid Staffordshire achieved NHS elite status two years later.
In addition to Yeates, two others in his administration resigned and a number of doctors and at least one nurse are being investigated by the General Medical Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council respectively.
Jan Harry, Mid Staffordshire’s director of nursing from 1998 to 2006, told Francis that she didn’t remember the decision to cut the nursing staff by 52 or the plan that drastically altered the ratio of trained to untrained staff, adding that it wasn’t her job to monitor ward standards.
The NHS does not inflict severe punitive measures on administrative bureaucrats for substandard work or ban them from working, as it does with doctors or nurses. Administrators receive six-figure redundancy packages or move to other hospitals in spite of their blatant incompetence or poor management abilities. Yeates was suspended last March with a £1million pension, six months salary, and a possible £400,000 settlement.
“We must end the situation where a senior NHS manager who has failed in one job can simply move to another elsewhere,” said Health Secretary Andy Burnham.
After accepting the report’s 18 recommendations, Burnham called for a new investigation to determine why Department of Health and NHS regulators failed to recognize the deteriorating conditions at the hospital. However, families of the victims are a bit incredulous. They claim the proposed inquiry is a “whitewash” and instead are calling for a full public investigation to provide the openness, clarity, and transparency necessary to prevent future horrors from ever happening.
In spite of having concerns about staffing, patient welfare, the availability and suitability of equipment, and the effective monitoring and handling of complaints, the Care Quality Commission, the NHS regulator, has declared that the hospital under its new management is now “safe to provide services.”
In the wake of the UK’s worst-ever NHS hospital scandal, the White House and congressional Democrats are on the brink of using the nuclear option to pass Obamacare, whose public option would lay waste to America’s current health care system and plunge Americans headlong into a bureaucratic quagmire of socialized medicine and a recurring nightmare of a single payer government controlled health care system, comparable to the Brits’.
