LISTEN NOW! Greg, John, and Pat discuss the fifth tactic out of the thirteen tactics community organizer Saul Alinsky writes about in his book Rules for Radicals. In his book he discusses 13 tactics he encourages community organizers to employ however, the book is dedicated to Lucifer and is what Lucifer would employ. They continue to share how organizing in and of itself is not bad it’s what you are organizing about and who you are organizing around is what matters. They further discuss how the back cover dedicates the book to Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The 5thtactic Alinsky writes about is:
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
The dictionary defines ridicule as “speech, or action intended to cause contemptuous laughter at a person or thing; derision.” These are tactics the enemy has been using for quite some time. We have seen these tactics employed by Korah and Absalom, however the Bible says it is commendable for us to bear and endure unjust suffering. They even ridiculed Jesus but he is the perfect example for us to follow. When he was insulted and ridiculed he did not retaliate and we should respond in kind and not throw wood on the fire. We even saw this ridicule on display during the presidential elections when President Obama made comments about the military meant to ridicule and shame his opponent. It is important not to just listen to words but to look at people’s fruit, for their actions prove what is true. Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Senator Obama, Truth, Politicians
