The Guesser is the man who either cannot or refuses to connect the dots so let’s get back to basics. The democratic party and our current President as well are directly aligned with Alinsky. Both Alinsky and Obama were community organizers and both worked in Chicago. Could that be a reason that Obama wound up in Chicago. Nah, too obvious. Well he wound up there and was a community organizer. Now do you think that Obama learned about Alinsky and his principles at Harvard. We know Hillary did and in fact Alinsky offered her a job. No I think the logical conclusion is that Obama has been an Alinsky follower all of his adult life.
Alinsky became famous for believing in direct action and nonviolent conflicts. It is quite ironical that Alinsky died from a heart attack a year after publishing Rules For Radicals, a book that he dedicated to Lucifer. Coincidence I am sure. They are probably buddies by now.
Well there is no doubt that the dots connect between Alinsky and Obama in several places. In fact it is obvious that Obama lives and breathes Alinsky as does Michelle. Check this out:
“What to make of Michelle Obama’s use the terms, “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be?” From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals.
“Barack stood up that day,” talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, “and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be…” And, “All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.”
Yes Alisky even begins his book by stating “what follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be.” He deeply believed that the ends justify the means. Obama has taken this to new heights with lies, obstruction of justice, and stonewalling in general. Alinsky would be proud. By the same token Alinsky would be proud of Obama because he fits the bill as the ultimate communicator. In Alinsky’s own words:
"One can lack any of the qualities of an organizer -- with one exception -- and still be effective and successful. That exception is the art of communication. It does not matter what you know about anything if you cannot communicate to your people. In that event you are not even a failure. You're just not there."
He further discussed the maxims of good communication and how to apply them to the community within which an organizer is operating. Succinct and direct, Alinsky used this section to stress the significance of being an effective communicator if someone is trying to bring about change for a community.”
Basically Obama is still applying these tactics to the same low income urban areas that Alinsky intended them for. But he has built on that base and his reelection was successful because communication lured uninformed voters to carry the day.
What strikes me as funny is that some on this forum have tried not to acknowledge Alinsky much less connect the dots from Alinsky to Obama much less Hillary. The irony in my book is that Obama could be construed to be Alinsky’s legacy. Sad but true. Obama took the Rules for Radicals to their highest level. Even more ironical is that the same principles that got Obama into office are now taking him down. In a word Obamacare. Such a shame, after 8 years in office it is almost inevitable that Obamacare will fail. The bill he wasted two years on when he had a Democratic House and Senate.
In the end Obama was the right man at the right time in that a Democrat was going to win in his first attempt as the anti-Bush movement made that a shoe in for either him or Hillary. But as fate would have it Obama won. Two of Alinsky’s most notable and faithful followers were atop the list and one of them won.
So at best what we have seen is Alinsky gone wrong. His principles had never been applied to such a large platform. Remember these principles were intended to be used on low informed, low income Urbanites. I think the rubber met the road when more and more people became disinfatuated with Obama for many reasons. But Obamacare brought it to a head. The lesson learned is that Alinsky’s principles can take you so far and then you are on your own. Once on his own Obama has slowly been exposed as has his agenda.
Remember he ran on “Hope and Change”. Have you heard that campaign slogan thrown around lately. That campaign slogan is as Alisnky as it gets and if it was in fact being enacted successfully we would be hearing about it on a daily basis by the lame stream media. Alisnky was all about defeating an antagonist. Obama has clearly divided this country. As it stands his antagonists are the constitution, capitalism, and government by the people. Obama wants to change this country, personally, I just want it to revert back to the way it used to be. It is time for the informed to step up.
