Alinsky was an amateur. I spent a long time writing federal regulations ~ mine were and are used by 300 million people ~ not that piddling stuff referenced in passing by $1200 an hour legal talent and which have meaning to maybe a dozen people.
Alinsky’s cr*p may be good for smaller communities, but when you get up to the scale of an entire nation, they don’t mean a thing.
That’s probably why the Chicago crowd is still pretty much restricted to Chicago ~ and even with Obama as President, they are unable to provide any first-class minds to run the federal departments ~ that’s where you get all that third-rate nonsense from ~ third-rate people, and Obama doesn’t know better.
This country is so huge it’s eating those pukes up and it’ll be spitting them out soon ~ Alinsky or not.
You don't seem to get that Obama won the election courtesy of Alinksy's methods, my friend - the whole enchilada - so who cares about your regulations (speaking of which, I've been on the other side of those who wrote the regulations, and we regularly danced circles around youze guys, so I wouldn't count that as being an altogether unalloyed point in your favor).
