Great job and one of the best sites on the net. I love how she used Alinsky ridicule against them. These Alinsky marxist manipulators are loathesome people who want tyranny and chaos in the USA.

ALINSKY PING!

The Alinsky Way involves asking others to do for you that which you are plainly capable of doing for yourself, but prefer not to do.

The Alinsky Way is the purely childish method employed by tantrum-throwing tyrants of all ages, and has existed in one form or another since the beginning of time.

The Alinsky Way is egocentric, childish human nature carried into adulthood and all the way to the end of life, as long as others are too weak to just say, “NO,” or too beguiled to see through this silly, selfish ruse.

I really admire and like Kyle-Anne Shiver’s columns at American Thinker. Thank you for the posting.

Excellent, EXCELLENT article!

I am new to the crowd of people who have taken the time to peer into the machinery (The Alinsky Method) that typifies liberal behavior, and am appalled by it.

Having by chance read ‘Rules for Radicals’ and ‘The Screwtape Letters’ back to back by happenstance, I was dumbfounded to see the similarities between the Alinsky Method of teaching his acolytes and the Screwtape Method of educating a young “tempter in training”.

Pretty amazing.

Another thing that really blew me away was the similarity in Screwtape’s thought process regarding “The Enemy” (God) and Liberal’s viewpoint of Conservatives.

Screwtape (and Lucifer, as well as all other “tempters” regarded the actions and behavior of God as duplicitous. They could not even fathom for a millisecond that God actually meant what he said and did. Since he (and others like him) could not understand the honesty and straightforwardness of God’s motives, Screwtape unfailingly projects his own motivations on God. “He cannot be doing it out of love for the two-legged vermin he professes to love, so there must be another nefarious reason that our intelligence department has been unable to divine...”

And so it is with liberals who cannot believe that average, normal citizens might be outraged at the travesty that is our government, getting ready to sell us all down the river, that we can actually stand up and wish to be heard. Instead, like Screwtape, they project on us their own actions...we are importing rabble-rousers and professional paid agitators or the equivalent of union thugs into the process.

I find this entire situation very, VERY illuminating.

Another major difference in “The Alinsky Way” versus “The American Way” is this:

Alinsky believes in using our rules of morality and law against us. In his opinion, it is impossible for those who make law to actually abide by the rules and regulations we create. (in his mind, these are simply created by “The Haves” to keep the “Have-Nots” down. No Marxism there...)

According to “The Alinsky Way”, it makes the assumption that because humans are fallible by nature, that it IS our nature to BE corrupt and our failure is what defines us and can be used against us.

The key difference is that “The American Way” knows that we are not perfect, and provides a legal and moral framework and structure for us to attempt to follow, knowing that society will be better if we attempt to follow it rather than surrendering to being corrupt.

It is why liberals seem to take such glee in pointing out hypocrisy, and why it only applies in their minds to conservatives. It is their crime of ALL crimes. It is this way in their minds because if you have no standards to be held to, you cannot be accused of hypocrisy if you deviate from those standards.

It is precisely why moral relativism seems to be a basic precept of liberalism.

The Alinsky Method = use violence like a communist thug to achieve totalitarian aims.

The American Method = confront the Alinskyites with baseball bats and beat their brains out till no more remain.
