Disgusting! They are excitingly promoting this Communist “An inspiration to anyone contemplating action in their community!

Little do they know that they are following in the very footprints of his (Alinsky's) mentor and master, i.e., Lucifer (John 8:44). Rules for Radicals is a book by Saul Alinsky which is dedicated to the original radical, Lucifer, who is also known as Satan, the Devil, The Old Serpent, and The Dragon (Rev.12:2,20:2).

These people need not be Americans. Churchill, for example, was an unabashed admirer of America. Other people believe that America is simply a very arrogant country, a nation inhabited with bumpkins who believe too much in God, and because of its religious faith and confidence, the antithesis of what the world should be.

Without ACORN, we are told, many underprivileged families would lose an important voice for their needs. Really?

However, it likely is a planned strategy to promote radical change. Those naively believing that President Obama is simply rewarding his far-left base, and will then move to the political center, must wise up. The assumption that Obama will need the nation to prosper in order to protect the 2010 mid-term election incorrectly assumes that he esteems free market capitalism. He does not. Rather than win through superior ideas and policies, the Democrat plan for success in the mid-term elections is to win by...

Two books by radical Communist activist Saul Alinsky advocate violence (“Radicals [must break] the necks of Conservatives”), destruction and revolution.

The recommendation appears in the organizations website under, "Tools & Ideas>Association Representative Resources>Articles & Multimedia>Recommended Reading: Saul Alinsky, The American Organizer."

I was one of the radicals for whom the book was written, though now I am a conservative mom and grateful American. I began blogging of the Obama-Alinsky connection during the 2008 presidential campaign, and given Obama’s history and his surrounding himself with characters from that Chicago/community organizing/dirty politics nexus, it was difficult for someone with my roots to think anything but the worst about the subtext of his message and his methodology.
