This is very interesting. Now I’m going to have to get a copy : )

Also, Wikipedia (yes, I know : ) lets the cat out of the bag with the entry on Saul Alinsky references to his great influences on Hil and BO.

One more thing, it’s not a good thing that some of the posters would even joke about stealing books from the library...reminiscent of book burnings and all. Seriously, several have Mein Kampf on their book shelves and that’s a good thing-know thine enemy.

I've read Screwtape, and I just ordered Rules for Radicals from Amazon, based on your comparison.

I noticed something really interesting here: Amazon popped up a page that said, "Customers who bought Rules for Radicals also bought," and the first two books listed were Levin's Liberty and Tyranny and Beck's Common Sense.

Maybe conservatives are going to wise up, after all!

Since you put it that way I must agree. Too bad we can’t rely on our universal school system to teach the proper history concerning this subject.
