What Exactly Is A Community Organizer?

[retailguy]

Wouldn't that just make you all warm and fuzzy to have a job like that?

Depends on what it paid.

Obama was offered $10,000 per year to start with a $2,000 travel allowance to buy a car. Obama says in his book, "the salary would go up if things worked out."

That kind of dough would leave me feeling cold and lifeless.

I guess it made him hate Republicans for his lot in life...

How many times in the last fifty years or so have we seen relatively stable and content communities and populations--until some organizer--a.k.a. troublemaker--intruded, stirred things up, and informed the people of the community that they WEREN'T really as well off as they themselves thought they were, and that they SHOULDN'T accept and appreciate their situation, as they had always done. Instead, they should whine a lot, protest, create trouble for those who may be "pleased with their money", as some would say.

I have detested this type of people--boat rockers trouble stirrer uppers, COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS--long before I ever heard of Barak Obama or that he had been one. America is a great place. It would be a better place if the crap done by community organizers had never occurred.

[Scott Campbell]

So are you saying that Harlan is a community organizer?

[MJZiggy]

He was organizing in the housing projects. How many happy go lucky folk do you think they've got living there?

Reminds me of what opponents of Martin Luther King used to say.

Funny you should ask. Have you heard of Cabrini Green?

I spent time in Chicago as a kid. I had relatives living on the north side in a mostly black area. Everybody got along. The "ghetto" was what it was--a slum. The people who lived there, though, weren't crying and complaining. They were moral church-going people, well behaved kids, no drugs, no significant crime, no gangs, etc.

Later, that community got "organized". Cabrini Green got built--as the ghetto was torn down, and the residents were involuntarily uprooted--and moved into "the projects". The rest--the fruits of the labor of Obama-esque "community organizers"--is well documented history--a steady deterioration of life downward to the all out depravity of drugs, gangs, and crime that finally got so bad that Obama's projects were closed up and demolished.

How many similar situations have we seen all over the country, as idiot liberal boat-rockers and do-gooders reak their havoc on the American way of life--CHANGE you can ..... what was it? ...... live with? I don't think so.

[MJZiggy]

I don't think it was the organizers that built the projects there...corrupt city of Chicago government might have had something to do with it...

[Tyrone Bigguns]

It would be nice, Tex, if you could be somewhat factual.

Cabrini Green wasn't built just like that. It took 30 years..the first was built in 42. And, the inhabitants weren't a mixed neighborhood..it was italian.

By the early 60s it was mostly black. By 70 it was entirely black. So, your story is so false it is ludicrous.

And, to put city planning as community organizing is just asinine.

One in the same! The community organizers created the need where there was none. The corrupt Chicago city government, contractors, etc.--all of which ended up as enthusiastic backers for you know who: Barak Obama--he has their dirt and sleaze all over him. The people of Chicago are victims for his CHANGE, and now, he wants to inflict the same kind of CHANGE on all of America.

After listening to Palin last night and McCain tonight, though, I'm more and more confident that sick CHANGE won't happen. Instead, a different kind of CHANGE will occur that will reduce Washington corrupt practices and intrusions into Americans' lives.

[MJZiggy]

How can they be victims of his change when he was just a kid when the change occurred?

Wake up - Tex is referring to the 'Community Organizers in the Chicago Political machine' - the same guys who manipulated Obama when he was 'Present' in Chicago Politics.

The time period I'm talking about was the mid to late fifties, and it was mixed but mostly black by that time.

As I said, the community organizer mentality created the need--where there was none--stirring up discord and ultimately destroying family structure, discipline, and morality. There is no question that was the result--a shit hole of liberal inspired depravity that only now is starting to recede--as the projects fall--and with them, liberal plans and policies, etc.

And now, Barak Obama and his sick kind want to CHANGE things--CHANGE back to the failed polices and programs that he had a direct hand in inflicting on Chicago a generation ago.

That is where the Candyman lived until Daley and Co realized that Cabrini sat on prime real estate and torn it down to make room for luxury condo's.

You just make it up as you go along. City planning has nothing to do with community organizing. Urban renewal had no party lines.

Yeah, there was no need. The city of chicago is known for it's low density. No need to put up skyscrapers. No need to find a way to maximize the use of property.

Your lack of knowledge regarding chicago and that specific area is apalling. It was always an area of high crime.
