Health Care Mein Kampf

Saul Alinsky's principles directed toward a specific end. A strategy, verbalized in to tactics to achieve a specific victory. This is the equivalent of taking Rommels' "The Tank and Attack" and using it to create a specific battle plan.

Was Democrats’ Health Care Strategy Written In Federal Prison?

“We must create a national consensus that health care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that right.”

“We must create a national consensus that the health care system is in crisis.”

“Our messaging program over the next two years should focus heavily on reducing the credibility of the health insurance industry and focusing on the failure of private health insurance.”

“We need to systematically forge relationships with large sectors of the business/employer community.”

“We need to convince political leaders that they owe their elections, at least in part, to the groundswell of support of [sic] universal health care, and that they face political peril if they fail to deliver on universal health care in 2009.”

“We need not agree in advance on the components of a plan, but we must foster a process that can ultimately yield consensus.”

“Over the next two years, we must design and organize a massive national field program.”

“We must focus especially on the mobilization of the labor movement and the faith community.”

“We must systematically leverage the connections and resources of a massive array of institutions and organizations of all types.”

“To be successful, we must put in place commitments for hundreds of millions of dollars to be used to finance paid communications and mobilization once the battle is joined.”

The real 'go get'em boys!' part of the plan is when he says:

Creamer adds: “To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion—fear, revulsion, anger, disgust.”

Watch out Tea Party!

Picture that moment in the movie Patton. Rommel's tank division attacks Patton at Kasserine Pass. Patton drives the Fascists into retreat and says:

[Outmaneuvering Rommel]
Patton: [referring to Rommel's book, 'Infantry Attacks' or 'Infanterie greift an'] Rommel... you magnificent bastard, *I read your book*!

The Tea Party needs to generate more fear, more revulsion, more anger and more disgust! I don't care how scared and whiny Nancy Peolsi and Patrick Kennedy get!

All Patches has to fear, is fear itself!
