I have sent this to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh with no response back In reading Saul Alinskys book. Saul Alinskys speaks about the the Weathermen. Everyone truly understands that Obama/Soetoro was a disciple of Alinsky. In reading the Prologue on page xvii “These were the Weatherman and their like: they took the grand cop-out, suicide.”. also on page xix quoting about an organizer responsibilities.
“As an organizer I start from whee the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be - it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system.
There’s another reason for working in the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitudw 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 chance the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among the middle class but the 40 percent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose incomes range from $5000 - $10,000 a year, They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don’t encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let’s not let it happen by default.”
Further in the Prologue, “Power comes out of the barrel of the gun!” page xx. “ Spouting qotes from Mao, Castro, Che Guerva, which are germane to our highly technological, computerized, cybernetic, nuclear - powered, mass media society as a stagecoach on jet runway at Kennedy airport?” page xxi.
“A reformation means that masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. The time is ripe for revolution,” page xxii.
“it is not enough to just elect your candidates. You must keep the prressure on . Radicals should keep in mind Franklin D, Roosevelt’s response to a reform delegation, “Okay, you’ve convinced me. Now goon out and bring pressure on me!” Action comes from keeping the heat on. No politician can sit on a hoy issue if you make it hot enough.” page xxii - xxiv.
?The final word on our system. The democratic ideal springs from the ideas of liberty, equality, majority rule through free elections, protection of the rights of minorities, and freedom to subscribe to multiple loyalities in matters of religion, economics and politics rather than to a total loyalty to the state. The spirit of democracy is the idea of importance and worth in the individual, and faith in the kind of world, where the individual can achieve as much of his potential as possible.” page xxiv.

Did you notice to whom Saul Alinsky dedicated his uber-marxist playbook, “Rules for Radicals”?

Alinsky dedicated it to the first radical, Lucifer (the Devil).

The natural response to exactly this has given birth to the tea party coalescing as it has.....and also why the media and lefties/marxists and their compliant media is this very weekend pulling out any and all stops to discredit it as a bunch of whacko’s, and next weeks news cycle will be historic because of this......what Sarah says, how she says it, and (most of all) how she characterizes the tea party coalescence tonite will be critical......
