"This focus on power was illustrated by an anecdote recounted in a New Republic article that appeared during Obama’s presidential campaign: “When Alinsky would ask new students why they wanted to organize, they would invariably respond with selfless bromides about wanting to help others. Alinsky would then scream back at them that there was a one-word answer: ‘You want to organize for power!’

In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote: “From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.” The issue is never the issue. The issue is always building the army. The issue is always the revolution

Guided by these principles, Alinsky’s disciples are misperceived as idealists; in fact, they are practiced Machiavellians. Their focus is invariably on means rather than ends. As a result they are not bound by organizational orthodoxies or theoretical dogmatisms in the way their still admired Marxist forebears were. Within the framework of their revolutionary agendas, they are flexible and opportunistic and will say anything (and pretend to be anything) to get what they want, which is power."......The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution"

Now the Gaystapo can put Christians out of the workplace in Indiana. Next come the churches.

Like Walter Williams says:

There is good discrimination and there is bad discrimination.

Throughout the years, I’ve read many of your starter threads......
.......some are spot on and straight to the heart

.......some I question their themes and find them confusing and convoluting

I know, without a doubt, where many Freepers stand......I know because they consistently, through the years, have maintained their credentials of who they innately are..........as we struggle to find truth in this world.

Where do you stand?

I’m a simple person.

I find the author of this present piece you’ve introduced, particularly repugnant ......
Especially attacking the reputation and motives of the mom & pop pizza owners.
What is happening to them is real.......and our response is from sincere citizens trying to fight back anyway we can.

Pence has very effectively taken himself out of any consideration for a vp slot on the Republican ticket in 2016.
Think about it, but at what cost to the republic?
