PDF of Hillary's Thesis

"ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Although I have no "loving wife" to thank for keeping the children away while I wrote, I do have many friends and teachers who have contributed to the process of thesis - writing. And I thank them for their tireless help and encouragement. In regard to the paper itself, there are three people who deserve special appreciation: Mr. Alinsky for providing a topic, sharing his time and offering me a job; Miss Alona E. Evans for her thoughtful questioning and careful editing that clarified fuzzy thinking and tortured prose; and Jan Krigbaum for her spirited intellectual companionship and typewriter rescue work.

CHAPTER I

SAUL DAVID ALINSKY: AN AMERICAN RADICAL

"The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause – his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is 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. David Horowitz

“The village needs an enemy...”

The NAZIS blamed, villified, persecuted, and killed the Jews.

Who will Hillary blame?

"....AP said Clinton will purportedly borrow from President Obama’s successful 2012 campaign against her. She will present her message as one of economic populism focused on middle-class families.

She will contrast this with Republicans, whom she will argue support the wealthy and elitist."...

Clinton to run as 'tenacious' economic 'fighter,’ reports say - will try not to overwhelm voters

Of course, the village needs an enemy. It already has an idiot.

The issue here is NOT what Hit-lery says or has written, it is that IT will not be commented on by the MSM/LIBS.

After the Indiana's Freedom Restoration Act was signed, the media investigators were pulling out of the archives anything the governor has said or written about religion and politics.

They managed to get Pence to drop any plans for a run at the White House. Although I don’t recall Pence himself ever saying he was going to run.

After backing down on religious freedom, I don’t think he could win re-election as governor.

When I read it years ago, I couldn’t believe how lame it was, especially for a Master’s Degree at a top flight college. Sophomoric, shallow, and poorly supported.
