Bump that.
“Change” and “Revolution” are synonyms......as are “Progressive” and “Communist”...............
condense and annotate.
He’s not - he’s a follower. Unfortunately, his preferred role models are Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and Russ Feingold.
McCain has nothing constructive to offer. Unfortunately, the Dems know what and why they’re offering: socialism.
I didn't.

Or Emmanuel Goldstein.
Or the repetitive slogan “Bush's Fault” that has been so successful.
Excellent read.
“The people of America live as they can,” he wrote. “Many of them are pent up in one-room crumbling shacks and a few live in penthouses...The Haves smell toilet water, the Have-Nots smell just plain toilet.”[14] Lamenting the “wide disparity of wealth, privilege, and opportunity” he saw in America, Alinsky impugned the country’s “materialistic values and standards.”[15] “We know that man must cease worshipping the god of gold and the monster of materialism,” he said.[16]
. . . and worship power instead. </sarcasm>Leftism is criticism, condemnation, and complaint - exactly the things which Dale Carnegie teaches you to avoid in personal relations. It works as leftist politics because of the fact that journalism, which is nothing but cheap talk, promotes itself by criticizing and second guessing the military, the police, and businessmen. IOW, the people who work to a bottom line in the absence of complete knowledge of the future results of their actions.
Journalists and leftist politicians have a symbiotic relationship because both seek to promote themselves by criticizing the productive.
Excellent posting. This is how marxists operate.
I didn't.nobody is going to read though all of that.

That's one of the virtues of FR - if an article seems important but impenetrable, you can always skim down to the FReeper comments in hopeful expectation of a knowledgeable person to help make sense of things. Generally someone will have a cogent comment to provide some perspective.
Excellent post and great point. McCain is NOT a socialist by any stretch of the imagination.
Sadly, Obama is not a socialist either....he’s moved right on to communism.
That's exactly what I'm doing. :)
I tried to read some of it but....then I went to comments and waited.
mark for later
Obama and Clinton are cut from the same leftist cloth. If either become President our country will start on a long march to socialism.
You are saying John McCain is a FOLLOWER of Alinsky?
At this stage of the game, it will take nothing less than civil war to rid ourselves of these vermin.
You really should read the entire thing when you have time. It’s worth it and important.
The power belongs to the young people and the black people in this country...we gotta build a strong base.2008?
No.

See you in Denver?
“condense and annotate.”
Obama is a socialist, trained in socialist policies and political activism.
Obama was trained by the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) in Chicago and worked for an affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation, whose modus operandi for the creation of “a more just and democratic society” is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.:”
Obama’s campaign is replete with riffs on socialist themes.
It is ‘dog-whistling’ - telling the lefties and radicals what they want to hear, without alerting the rest of us to its latent radicalism.
Like the “Yes, we can” its “Si se peude!” from Cesar Chavez’ union, so to most ignorant Americans it sound like good old-fashioned American can-do spirit, but to leftist agitators its a signal - “Hey, I’m a fellow traveller, yes we CAN move the country left.”
Similarly, he used the words of Malcolm X to black audiences.
