“Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness,” Alinsky Jr. wrote to the Globe.  “It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board.  When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen.  Obama learned his lesson well.

I think the Bible has some good advice concerning Obama.

Colossians 2:8 -taken from the Amplified version
“See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit(idle fancies and plan nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).”

Sounds like good advice—better heed it.

wherein paid organizers learned, in Alinsky’s own words, how to “rub raw the sores of discontent”.

Too bad that those really being rubbed raw, are ordinary Americans, who are gonna end up handing the obamination his a$$ets in a beaten up Saul Alinsky hat.

It's amplified, all right. Here's the straight KJV:

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
--Colossians 2:8

"Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21]. . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws"…..Noah Webster, ‘The History of the United States’

I can’t understand why the modern left lauds Saul Alinsky, he wasn’t original at all and stole the ideas of Lenin, Stalin and Gramsci. But since they can’t claim to be stalinists or have people read Gramsci they point to this phony agent provocateur who would have been dumped by the KGB as an incompetent.
