Alinsky: Pants on the Ground!
1/23/10

Posted on 01/23/2010 8:37:17 AM PST by eeevil conservative

Alinsky VS Paine

Two fellow FREEPers have joined together to do a series of threads on Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals VS Thomas Paine Common Sense.

The concept is much like a cyber book club; for those who have read the books, those who might start, or even those who cannot find the time, but want to learn.

The tentative start date will be Monday, January 25th, 2010. The template we will start with will be that I will start with the very beginning of Rules for Radicals. I will write a little about the intro, and prologue of the book. Then others can comment. You can share your own thoughts, ask questions, but we will all contribute. I am not a professor on Alinsky, I did not teach it to college students like Obama, but I have read the book, and have noticed things I feel are worth pointing out. I am sure others have things to share, or will have things to share as well.

The following day, Kerretarded will share Thomas Paine writings in contrast with the Saul Alinsky writings. This should be a good starting ground for us to be able to have discussions with others, where we are not only able to attack Alinsky’s tactics and message, but also offer the message of freedom that our nation was birthed from.

Anyone interested in being included on the ping list for this series- please contact me via FREEPmail. I doubt we will be able to do this 7 days a week- but we will shoot for 5 days a week, M-F.

Just a thought after signing up....it might be interesting if you could weave a discussion of Cloward-Piven into the thread at the appropriate place.
