I think it’s fair to say that not all first responders are worthy of the title hero, and not all community organizers are commies.
The issue we have so, so wrong these days is the inability to think in shades of gray. I blame twitter, facebook, and the opening of very narrow minds to the masses. That means you guys.

Let’s not restate the obvious and get lost in relativism. This is the story that gave rise to the post.
While community organizers are encouraging gutless public servants to reallocate resources to degrade public safety, personally appropriating private property for failed communal experiments in lawlessness, stifling the public discourse/free speech rights of those holding contrary views and destroying public property; the overwhelming majority of first responders are doing their jobs.
“Community Organizer” is not a profession, it is not a career. It is just another euphemism for “Politician”. {I never said commie or lefty. That was your projection.} We have too many self serving politicians; see the link I provided to the Lincoln Project’s finances in another thread. The “Community Organizer” get rich scheme is on the public dole. The rip off is sheltered from public scrutiny. Further, the concept itself is simply redundant. Politicians are elected to deal with said issues, to represent the interests of their constituencies. Do you really think we need another layer of “politicians” to get our public officials to do their jobs? “Community Organizer” is simply another term for “Lobbyist”. If elected officials were seriously engaged in discharging their responsibilities, the “Community Organizer” would be seen with clarity for exactly what they are, tits on a boar.

Trump is not a real Republican nor is he a real conservative. After the Dems botch up the next four years (and I will vote for them) perhaps we can have a real conservative Republican nominee in 2024.
Trump is a poor representative of our country. He is boorish and undereducated. He denigrates disabled people and he boasts of touching women inappropriately. He lacks understanding of geopolitics and talks about himself incessantly. The church photo op hurt him immensely. I think Biden’s VP will be easy to defeat in 2024.

I think of community organizers as being akin to union organizers and many people (not you) make the leap to a pithy “commie” implication. It is said for effect.
there are many community organizers who don’t go by that name, of course. Chambers of commerce would qualify. As would rotarians, lions clubs, and even YMCAs. I mean, jeez, the NRA are essentially community organizers, and damned good ones.
I DO think that these sorts of organizations are useful to improving things for a given community. I DO NOT believe that all of them are equivalent. Organizations that simply seek to accumulate power, regardless of ends, are the ones that should be the most examined. That’s my chief criticism of political parties.
and, hey, I have no issue with a city reallocating it’s resources to community services instead of police. What could be more american than letting localities govern themselves. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with what they are doing, of course, but then again I have the privilege of not having to live or work where these things matter. I’m astounded at how politicians will do things that their constituents “want” without explaining to them what it really means.
In other words, I’m no relativist, I just don’t give a shit what some politician or community organizer in Minnesota is doing beyond mere entertainment. If it works, we should all do it. If it doesn’t, then shame on them for not listening, and pity the poor man who can’t vote with his feet.
