Gingrich And The Battle For American Exceptionalism

Election 2012: After a stunning South Carolina primary victory, the former speaker of the House rightly defines the battle ahead as one between the America envisioned by our Founding Fathers and the radicalism practiced by our president.

Alinsky, the far-left father of modern community organizing, is not a name you'll see falling from the lips of the liberal media elites. Newt Gingrich said during a recent debate he was tired of their defending the failed administration of President Obama. They're more concerned about Gingrich's ex-wives than with the ideological roots of an administration led by a former community organizer steeped in Alinsky radicalism.

Few paid much attention when candidate Barack Obama told a rally shortly before the 2008 election that he was five days away from fundamentally transforming America. That was Alinsky's goal, too, and Obama would become the disciple and instrument of Alinsky-inspired policies that would put a foreclosure sign in front of Ronald Reagan's shining city on a hill.

In his speech following his crushing victory in South Carolina, Gingrich defined the choice facing America in November, particularly if he's the GOP nominee: "The Founding Fathers of America are the source from which we draw our understanding of America. He draws his from Saul Alinsky, radical left-wingers and people who don't like the classical America."

David Gregory, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," asked Newt Sunday if he could "win independent voters in a general election campaign" talking about Obama's ties to Alinsky and other "radical left-wingers." Newt said "absolutely," and we would argue that if the GOP and Sen. John McCain had done that in 2008, and had the media followed the lead in our series, "The Audacity of Socialism," Obama might still be organizing communities in Illinois.

The name of the organization that obama worked with is the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF)—the article does not have it quite right.

Here is a Wikipedia article about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Areas_Foundation

The IAF is very sneaky, in the way that it easily recruits non-radical people in liberal protestant and Roman Catholic churches, as well as synagogues and Unitarian assemblies, who make up the majority of its constituencies. The vehicle to do this is the “interfaith organization”. These organizations work for apparently worthy community needs such as new affordable housing, improvements in education, and helping poor people get bank accounts and manage their money better.

Before I converted to Orthodox Christianity, I was a Lutheran, and my parish was a member of one of these. I myself received the lowest level of training from the IAF affiliate, so I understand the IAF very well—TOO WELL from their point of view!

To make a long story short, they make their organizations look like they are run by the broad base of their members, but they’re really run by a small cadre of community organizers and their confidants. As a new organization develops, it becomes more and more infiltrated and controlled by SEIU and other unions.

And in the case of our local IAF organization, they ultimately supported the muslim agenda to turn September 11th into a day that is about “hate crimes” against muslims. They did not like my opposition to that, or my strong support for the Serbs. They told me that “no one supports the Serbs”, implied that I was a “right-wing bigot”, and kicked me out.

I’m very proud that I got kicked out of that organization, for loving and supporting Serbian Orthodox Christians, as all Christians should do, and for opposing muslim subversion and jihad!!!!

This article, however, is incomplete. obama is not only the creature of Alinsky, but also of Soros. Both are against America as we have known her, and against all nation-states, really. They want a New World Order.

I hope that Newt wins!!!!
