Means and Ends One: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI

For anti-capitalist radicals -- as indeed for zealots generally -- the ends justify the means. It has ever been so -- for the Jacobins, the Communists, the fascists and now the post-modern Alinsky/Obama left. And that is because of the very nature of those ends as radicals conceive them. A world without poverty, war, racism, or "sexism" is so noble, so perfect in contrast to everything that has preceded it -- that it would be criminal not to deceive, lie, and even murder in order to advance or protect the cause. As Nietzsche once observed: "Idealism kills."

This anecdote tells you everything you really need to know about this mentor to Hillary Clinton and the Obamas, and the ACORN radicals.

And, let's not forget, to the Archdiocese of Chicago as well.

Interesting. When you associate George Bush w/the KKK, that's bad for Bush. When Obama and Hillary Clinton go sucking up to Margaret Sanger's legacy, Planned Parenthood, and it's common knowledge to anyone who pays attention to such things that Sanger was adored by the KKK, nobody exerts an iota of effort to be concerned.

It took me awhile to read the whole thing but one item really got my attention: Alinsky called his imaginary utopia “The Open Society”. Exactly the same name Soros has given his organization.

"In reality, Our social and economic divisions are between
the Cans and the Can-Nots, the Dos and the Do-Nots,
the Wills and the Will-Nots."

Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.
3 In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,
4 and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,
5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?
7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.”
8 Cain said to Abel his brother, “Let us go out to the field.” And
when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.
9 Then the LORD said to Cain,
“Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?” Some things never change.

Saul Alinsky came of age in the 1930s as a Communist fellow-traveler (as his biographer Sanford Horwitt tells us in Let
Them Call Me Rebel), but his real social milieu was the world of the Chicago mobsters to whom he was drawn
professionally as a sociologist. In particular he sought out and became a social intimate of the Capone gang and of
Capone enforcer Frank Nitti who headed the gang when Capone was sent to prison in 1931. Later Alinsky said, “[Nitti]
took me under his wing. I called him the Professor and I became his student.” (p. 20) While Alinsky was not
oblivious to the fact that criminals were dangerous, like a good leftist he held “society” — and capitalist society in
particular — responsible for creating them.

Pretty big list. Most of those connections I didn’t know about. (I already had seen enough to know he was a red diaper baby )
