Barack Obamas 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.

There’s not much groupthink for critical minds here.

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.

Wow. Older article that really NEEDS to stay bumped.
Alinsky’s son sees it. Time for everyone else to get a clue.

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.

You know what, Ernest?
Two can play the same game. Perhaps it’s as simple as- we need leaders like Sarah who won’t sell us down the river and don’t act like the frozen chosen, but who put some passion in it.

Perhaps not tea, though. How about some of Hawaii’s famous pineapples and some Kenyan exports- sold by Arabs.
