That's right, community organizer help to organize them.<BR/><BR/>And it is awfully cynical and jaded of you to think that all organizers or professional and/or politically orientated. There are by far more organizers that do this on their own, because they want to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. <BR/><BR/>McPalin wants to only improve their lives and to hell with everyone else.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-73935315970770461232008-09-06T08:42:00.000-05:002008-09-06T08:42:00.000-05:00"Community Organizers" are not the heart of Americ..."Community Organizers" are not the heart of America.

A little burg near my northern castle, named Iola, puts on an antique car show every year. The entire town volunteers to works the booths and whatnot, and the entire profit goes to charities in the town. <BR/><BR/>A small town in Alaska had community organizers bring together when the mayor, Sarah Palin, tried to fire the librarian because she wouldn't do the banned books thing.<BR/><BR/>A two-edged sword can cut both ways, or handled correctly, it can cut the opponent in two ways.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-44241317478155887792008-09-05T09:58:00.000-05:002008-09-05T09:58:00.000-05:00I wonder if their are more community organizers wh...I wonder if their are more community organizers who were offended, than people who live in small towns who were offended by the Left's denigration of her experience as a mayor of an insignificant little burg.<BR/><BR/>All political knives cut both ways, my friend.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820148729023510413noreply@blogger.com
