Rules for Radicals: Why read the book, when you can watch the mini-series?


For those of us who know our socialist history, we are well acquainted with the “philosophies” of Sal Alinsky. But for those of you who are not as familiar with Mr. Alinsky, or think he was just another vaudevillian comedian, you will find Phyllis Schlafly’s recent article enlightening:

Sal Alinsky was unapologetic in his methods; methods that were fueled by promoting class envy, promoting unity amongst one group of people (“the have nots”) to be used against another group of people (“the haves”). We see Sal Alinsky’s methods being successfully employed by people such as Al Sharpen and Jesse Jackson, and by groups such as ACORN. But Sal Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals,” has also become the field manual for the Democratic Party. Two of Sal Alinsky’s most famous disciples, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, are the living embodiment of Alinsky’s “model” agitators.

There is nothing “radical” about Alinsky’s ideas; they are nothing more than the continuation of the “beliefs "of Lenin, Marx, Hitler, and Mussolini to name just “a few.” One only needs to see the results of each of these individuals’ actions to fully “appreciate” the damage that “community organizing” can cause in the hands of radicals.
