Read Screwtape, but not Rules. Suggested continuing reading: Darkness At Noon - Authur Koestler -— the story of what happens AFTER the revolution to its supporters. Also see history of the Stalinist Purges - avoid wikipedia as reference.

I have already read Darkness at Noon as well as The Gulag Archipelago, Night, 1984 and dozens of others.

I had been trying to figure out a way to obtain a copy of “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky (being the bible followed by Obama and his associates) without paying for it, and the copies at the library were backordered for months. To my surprise, one came in.

I gritted my teeth and made it all the way through. It explains a lot. And none of it is good.

I was going to dictate the entire thing and make an audiobook out of it to give to people such as myself who don’t want a single red cent to go to anyone associated with writing, printing or distributing that hideous work, but I couldn’t stomach hearing myself read it in a way that would make it easier on the ears to listen to (To put the inflection in the right places means you have to read it as if you believe it, and I gave up after one chapter.)

It is probably one of the most immoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldn’t be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I have still carries it.

From what I can see, reading this book enables one to understand what makes Obama (and his followers) tick.

The very FIRST paragraph exposes very clearly what they are all about:
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. 'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."

It is unrestricted class warfare, pure and simple. And it is the bible of Obama, Clinton, and many MANY others in this country.

What really chilled me was the similarity in style of Screwtape's letters to his newphew, a 'tempter in training' and Alinsky's advice to radicals.
