In the past year here I have seen here a number of references to Saul Alinsky. Some years ago a read he was a community organizer who used such creative protest ideas as suggesting the people who wanted an effective sit-in should eat beans and have a fart-in. I thought it was hilarious at the time. Can anyone tell me more about this guy.

Have you ever heard of "The Art of War", by Sun Tzu? It was written long long ago, and it is a practical, how-to manual for waging war. The many instructions in it are as practical, logical, insightful, and useful today as they were back then. I'm sure it's still required reading in any type of military school.

Saul Alinski wrote "Rules For Radicals". It is the same type useful, practical information, both for the short term battle and for the long term war. This book, however, deals with corrupting and destabilizing a country in order to install a Socialist or Marxist government. This book is no joke.

Hillary had really wet panties for Saul Alinski. She new him, and I believe she did her Masters Thesis at Wellsley (or something like that) on his work. This is serious business.

I have come to notice, over the past few months, that Obamas installation has been the result of following the Alinski playbook step by step over a period of decades. I'm not really sure who the puppet-master is, but these people trying to install socialism in the U.S. are dangerous, in a way that chills my soul far beyond any minor policy bickering between RATS and PUBS. These people are serious, they are competent, they have been working on this for decades, they have unlimited amounts of money, and they are following an effective step-by-step playbook written by Saul Alinski.

Here’s a little bit to get you started- you can also just type his name in your search engine and find more.

Obama is well-versed in Alinsky’s rules- if you read them and think about the campaign- both primary and general- you will see his tactics everywhere.

Perhaps this will get you started:

Saul Alinsky, who died in 1972, at the age of 63, was a Chicago Marxist. Among his many books was one titled “Rules for Radicals,” in which he explained to his acolytes, “The most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired results.” It took Alinsky 11 words to paraphrase Karl Marx’s far more succinct “The ends justify the means.”

Alinsky, by the way, dedicated that particular book to Lucifer, whom he coyly referred to as “the first radical.”
