Question: What is a Community Organizer? Why did Barack Obama start out as a Community Organizer?

I am sorry if what I write tonight offends anyone, it is not being written for that purpose, it is being written to actually help those that don’t understand,  to help them get a grasp of reality.

I am first going to quote a website, which is about taking action, The Marin Institute, which you can find out more about here. This may be a wonderful site, and I love the definition they have here, it fits perfectly.

What is community organizing?

Community organizing is a long-term approach where the people affected by an issue are supported in identifying problems and taking action to achieve solutions. The organizer challenges those he or she works with to change the way things are—it is a means of achieving social change through collective action by changing the balance of power. The tactics and strategies employed by the organizer are similar to the processes of leadership including timing the issue, deliberate planning, getting the attention of the populace, framing the issue in terms of the desired solution, and shaping the terms of the decision-making process.

I want to break this down a bit, the above underlined sections are what I will talk about!

it is a means of achieving social change through collective action by changing the balance of power

What is that saying? Who has the power that they want to change the balance of? Our constitution tells us that the power in this country belongs to “We the People”, , not “We the Sheeple”, so, to change this balance would be to put who in control? The Government, that’s who!

Is this something we really want to change? I want government to go away and leave me alone! Who would want this to change and why? This is simple, go back to the keyword, power, if you take control from “We the People” and give it to the government, the actual control, or power, would be in the hands of the person in charge of the government, right?

The second part, I have the main point underlined, but will explain more of that part of the sentence.

The tactics and strategies employed by the organizer are similar to the processes of leadership

My emphasis, is on the same as above, who, as in who would waste their time on tactics and strategies that are similar to leadership, why not use the actual tactics and strategies of leadership?

As for the rest of that sentence.

deliberate planning, getting the attention of the populace, framing the issue in terms of the desired solution, and shaping the terms of the decision-making process.

Is this getting clear yet? Deliberate planning, getting the attention of the populace, framing the issue, desired solution, and shaping the terms of the decision making process, this all sounds like a power hungry lawyer to me! Shaping the terms? That is crazy, our terms in this country are simple, “We the People” are supposed to be in charge, what is there to shape?

Ok, here is where I might actually piss someone off. to me, this is a simple topic, but for many it is not.

Do you have a job? Do you want a job? Can you even get a job? These are the questions, why? Where do you find a Community Organizer? In places where the answer to these questions isn’t always yes! It is in the deep heart of the welfare infested parts of our country, the places that blame everybody but themselves for everything!

If you wanted to start a Marxist/Communist/ or Anarchist movement, where would you go? I would imagine that you would go to a similar place, a place where there are people that would believe that the “leader” would be the only one that would or could take care of them, since they won’t take care of themselves! The problem is, that leader doesn’t actually care about you, they only care about power! Sure, Castro, Chavez, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and all like them, they are, or were, there for the people, yeah right! Funny thing is, the “Sheeple” there thought that they did care!

There is one thing I know, I don’t want to add the name Barack Obama to that list to find out!
