"Mr. Obama’s personality cult campaign has been an unmitigated success, creating, almost ex nihilo, a “beloved leader” out of a largely inexperienced and unknown man"

I’m not Catholic so I’ll ask this of those of you who are Catholic. Do you think the majority of Catholics will vote for Obama? I sure hope not!

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

You do not have to be Catholic to read this, just an American who loves liberty.

Communism, foreign aggression, penury, and eventual war.

Obvious to anyone with even half a brain.

totalitarian dictators come to power by enshrining themselves as cults of personality and then creating political monopolies through often less than delicate campaigns of indoctrination and censorship

Not always true by any means.

Largely true of Hitler, but not of Lenin or Stalin, both of whom developed their cults of personality well after seizing power.
