Way back, in the 1960's,besides grabbing furtive gazes at my brother's Playboy magazines, about the hottest thing I saw was the then-sexy album cover for Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass Whipped Cream and other Delights album cover.

...but once you finish reading Rules for Radicals, we wonder if he's really serious about his obsession with the Underworld....

It's a perfect example of "birds of a feather".Pure psychopaths doing different things but still admiring each other and enjoying each other's company.

Way back when I was in high school and working as a library assistant there, I discovered my high school had the entire Playboy catalog on microfilm including the pictures, I was surprised that no other students even knew about it.

Thanks so much for posting this. Very revealing. It's also necessary, I guess, to ask ourselves which of the many things he asserts about his life are actually true. His whole career consisted of the strategic use of lies, and reading his comments at length, he just sends up a smell of "posturing, self-promoting liar."

But of course there are real facts in there as well, and most important, we can see in one, encyclopedic rant, the philosophy and logic of the Marxist Progressives, who without blood or love gave birth to 0bama and Mrs. Clinton. We see their peculiar, pinched view of history and reality at its modern source.

FYI, I called my saved file, "SPEAK OF THE DEVIL—Saul Alinsky interview."

Any conservative who has NOT read this book is like a military officer who has never read Sun Tzu or Von Clausewitz. Hate him as you will, but he understood perfectly how to attack ‘the establishment’.

Yep. Saul's on my list of people to "visit" in the mid-1960s or so, should I ever stumble across a time portal.

It would be informative to compile a list of Christian virtues and show how they can withstand these dirty tricks.

You nailed it

I was wondering what the right word there was for this idiocy

Sophomoric.

Semi-educated nonsence uttered by the naive who lear a little and suddenly naively think they know everything.

When you are educated until you reach the point that you realize how little you actually know, and how only experience can teach you the rest, then you have achieved wisdom.

Alinsky wrote the book. Obama is putting it into reality. Hillary will double down.

Alinsky appeared on Firing Line with William F. Buckley and this is on Youtube. But I didn’t find it to be one of Buckley’s better shows and I couldn’t get through the whole thing.

I really think are we seeing the American equivalent of Eva Peron in Hillary Clinton.

However, anyone who's listened to her speak knows her public presence leaves much to be desired. Her grating, monotone voice (when she's not trying to imitate a Southern accent) turns off people pretty quick, to say the least. And she is the ultimate insider, given her connections to too many elites on Wall Street and powerful foreign interests.

Some have said the Antichrist is coming soon. It is possible instead of being a man, it could be a woman? And guess who could fill that role right now....

“BTW, Just for information, Putin has now passed a law that Christians can’t read the Bible, speak any Scripture, convert any believers, meet even in a home church, even speak to non believers about God, with jail to follow. Coming to America soon. Oh yeah, who likes Putin,....Trump.”

Not sure what fake source this was pulled from but Christianity in the form of the Orthodox Church has been revived since 1990 and actually their is a symbiotic relationship between Putin and the Church.

Now, their may be certain forms of religion That are oppressed but as for reading the bible, speaking with non-believers are being put in jail for being a Christain, well that is just not accurate.

In the year leading up to the 2008 election, I had been trying to figure out a way to obtain a copy of “Rules for Radicals” because as we all know, it is the bible followed by Obama and his associates. I had been trying to get it without paying for it, and the copies at the library were backordered for months. To my surprise, one finally came in after about a six month delay.

When I was about a third of the way through “Rules for Radicals”, I concluded that reading it tells volumes about the people who profess to following it as a bible, especially the ones pushing the legislation we have seen in the last seven years in particular, and much of the liberal legislation since the fifties.

The book explains a lot. And none of it is good.

I was going to actually dictate the entire thing and make an audiobook out of it to give to my close associates, who, like me, don’t want a single red cent to go to anyone associated with writing, printing or distributing that hideous work. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I couldn’t stomach hearing myself read it in a way that would make it easier on the ears to listen to (To put the inflection in the right places means you have to read it as if you believe it, and I gave up after one chapter.)

It is probably one of the most amoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldn’t be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I read had it. Apparently, the copy I had was a copy from the 1980's, and they figured it was safe to put it back in.

From what I can see, reading that book enables one to understand what makes Obama (and his devoted followers) tick.

The very FIRST paragraph exposes very clearly what they are all about:
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. 'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."

It is unrestricted class warfare, pure and simple. And it is the bible of Clinton, Obama, and their like-minded followers.

On another level, Alinsky tells a story in 'Rules for Radicals' that clearly tickles him, about a conversation with a Chicago boss who humorously berates him for thinking so little of his voting rights that have been paid for with the blood of Americans, that he only votes once on election day.

You can tell he loved that anecdote, as I am sure every acolyte of his does as well. Disgusting. But that is what we are up against.

If you still want to give your associates a heads-up about this stuff, .pdf copies are all over the internet.

What you described is why the Left lost their collective (pun intended here!) minds when Carson specifically mentioned that Hillary Clinton wrote a college thesis on Alinsky. Given what appears to be Alinsky’s admiration of the Underworld of Lucifer and H***, equating Hillary Clinton to Alinsky’s beliefs is most appropriate.
