 There’s something about a good bomb . . . night after night, day after day, each majestic scene I witnessed was so terrible and unexpected that no city would ever again stand innocently fixed in my mind.

-Bill Ayers

Conservatives have traditionally been the adults in the room.  It’s never our side screaming and setting cars on fire.  During the 2000 election dispute, it was hilarious to watch the republicans convening to demonstrate.  That blazer wearing, designer coffee drinking and cell phone wielding assemblage didn’t scare anybody.  The peerless Tony Snow once suggested that we needed a team of “Rapid Response Republicans.”

Our side has never figured out how to do civil disobedience.  Tens of thousands very angry protestors marched on Washington on 9/12.  Not only were there no incidents, they left the place cleaner than it was when they got there.

Short of retaining Al Sharpton to appear at local meetings, the Tea Partiers have one tough row to hoe if they think they can orchestrate a true mob presence.  Violence in the name of politics has always been the exclusive domain of the left.

The community organizer in chief has had far better training in the use of angry mobs than any conservative. 

When I was growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, these folks were known as “paid agitators,” a far more accurate description of what they do.  Community organizers were carpetbaggers who blew into town for the express purpose of whipping the locals into frenzy over some grievance, real or imagined.  This type of “organizing” is not to be compared with legitimate, local, grassroots organizations that get together to put pressure on local officials to bring about a change for the better.  Alinsky-style organizers are not concerned members of the community who pressure city hall into putting in a new stoplight.  For the Alinskyite, the actual issue is of no consequence.  The organizer doesn’t care about the community.  The agenda is to gin up a revolt, which gives the organizer power.

Obama’s friend, Bill Ayers admits to a great fascination with explosives.  If not for his father’s wealth and connections, one has to wonder if young Bill, whose conduct disorder was never properly diagnosed; would have gotten away with so much havoc. 

In 1970, Ayers joined the Weathermen,  a radical group that helped LSD guru Timothy Leary break out of prison, and stockpiled dynamite, which the supposedly brilliant Ayers stored at his apartment.  Predictably, some of the dynamite exploded, killing Ayers’ then girlfriend. 

When all was said and done, Ayers and the Weathermen were credited with thirty bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructure of the US. 

Super patriot Ayers boasts about his accomplishments:  participating in the 1970 bombing of NYPD police headquarters;  bombing the Capitol building in 1971 and bombing the Pentagon in 1972.  Ayers would write:  “We’d already bombed the Capitol, and we’d cased the White House.  The Pentagon was leg two of the trifecta.” 

Terrorist Ayers would have done considerably more damage had he not been so incompetent.   In his 2001 book, Fugitive Days Ayers writes that he is not “ruling out entirely” using violence in the future.    On September 11, 2001, Ayers told The New York Times that he didn’t regret setting the bombs; he felt they hadn’t done enough.

In Mayor Daley’s Chicago, there was a tacit understanding that Democrats were allowed to shoot up their own campaign offices in hopes of capturing a few “sympathy votes.” 

As is always the case with liberals, no original thinking was required to launch their current victim campaign.  Democrats are whining like little girls about alleged threats and racial slurs—evidently nobody ever has a microphone around when protesters are yelling these foul words.  They want us to believe they are in stark terror of their own constituents.

In other words, the Democrats are accusing us of behaving like Democrats.

Why are conservatives so bothered by this?  For once, liberals are actually afraid of us. 

Conservatives have a lot to learn about becoming an angry mob.

The paid agitator in chief is the doyen of turmoil.  Whipping a crowd into a fury to further his own agenda is the job description of a community organizer.  Lacking the advantage  of Alinsky indoctrination, we conservatives are going to have to coach ourselves.

Conservatives would do well to stop being so splenetic when the leaders of the thugocracy carp about conservatives being thuggish.  It’s like Joe Biden calling you an idiot. 

Cloward-Piven doesn’t have  to be the clandestine stratagem of radical leftists.  This administration has a lot to account for.  We need to be at those town hall meetings, and protests; never  tolerating the opposition’s efforts to  stifle us.
