The best thing about Saul Alinsky is he didn’t breed so we won’t see his poisonous offspring organizing illegal aliens or strikes.
We’ve heard about Alinsky’s rules for radicals almost constantly since Barack Obama’s nomination. We’ve been warned how they were going to end America and make us a socialist gulag.
But the “rules” are smacking up against new realities and losing: We’re not afraid.
Different times a different America
Alinsky wrote his “Rules for Radicals” before his death in 1972. The world and our nation have become far different places since then. Al Gore hadn’t invented the internet yet.
Alinsky was a product of his time. He wrote in his glowing contentment at the Democrats’ surrender in Viet Nam, and he was still savoring our national weakness from the moral decay of the 1960s
He mistakenly concluded rapid fire non stop attacks would collapse America and prepare us to be meekly marched into Soviet style socialism.
That was then this is now
Obama has naively based his entire plan of attack against us on Alinsky’s outdated “rules.” This will be his downfall.
Americans aren’t cowering from Obama’s “Alinskyism.” We’re informed and these attacks are only making us fight harder.
When we held “pro Viet Nam War” rallies they were 5,000 people gatherings largely in lower Manhattan and Chicago’s Loop. Never would 2.2 million Americans take over Washington’s streets with another 500,000 patriots at local rallies across the country.
The America Alinsky lived in and hated could never have produced unafraid well spoken very well informed champions of freedom who could stand toe to toe with lying Democrats trying to destroy America.
So let Obama bring on Alinsky’s rules. Both of them are kings with new suits of clothes and America’s patriots are seeing this more clearly by the day.

Unfortunately, yep. I had to eddicate them.
We will not go quietly into the night.
America does not fall on our watch. Not our watch.
One would think Wiki would mention him - nothing.
This is my biggest bitch with the GOP. Whenever you engage the enemy, whether it be a Democrat official, the media, or a liberal activist, you always walk in with a plan to funnel them to your end game via move/countermove. You never walk in unprepared. That’s what we always do and why we generally lose.
The following is a list of Alinsky’s rules for upheaval, (see article for entire list):
RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Of these, Rules 4, 5, 8, and 12 have been used to greatest effect by the Left.
“If your opponent [has a hot temper], seek to irritate him. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared; appear where you are not expected.” (Book I, Verses 22-24)”
Barack Obama taught a class on using Alinsky principles to keep the nation in chaos. After all, it’s easier to get radical policies enacted during a crisis.
