THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SAUL ALINSKI ON AMERICAN SOCIETY Saul Alinsky begins his book Rules For Radicals with what one might call a tribute to satan. Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgement to the very first radical; from all our legends, mythology, and history ( and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins---or which is which ) the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom. ---Lucifer Saul Alinsky was a modern day Niccolo Machiavelli. This is the opening paragraph to his 1971 book Rules For Radicals. What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away Alinsky was born on January 30, 1909 and dropped dead of a heart attack on June 12 1972. He was born into an orthodox Jewish family but became an agnostic. He became probably the most successful community organizer of all time. Remember that Obama got his start as a community organizer. Many leftists were influenced by his writings, including Hillary and Bill Clinton along with Barack Obama. Obama never knew him but he was influenced nevertheless. Leftists were depressed about their lack of influence at the Democratic Convention of 1968. They had campaigned for the anti-war Democrat Eugene McCarthy and had rioted in the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. The following is the advice that Alinsky gave these radicals. Do one of three things. One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves. Two, go psycho and start bombing----but this will only swing people to the right. Three, learn a lesson. Go home, organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates. This is exactly what they did. In 1972 they nominated George McGovern but America was not ready for someone as far to the left as McGovern. Nixon won by one of the biggest landslides in American history. However the left had intrenched themselves in the Democratic Party and has built on that power ever since. By using Alinskys tactics they have taken over our school boards, academia, entertainment, our media, our judicial system and much of our government. They have done this by following Alinskys advice in the prologue of Rules For Radicals. If the real radical finds that having long hair sets up psychological barriers to communication and organization, he cuts his hair. If I were organizing in an orthodox Jewish community I would not walk in there eating a ham sandwich, unless I wanted to be rejected so I could have an excuse to cop out. As an organizer I start from where 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.. The following are eight goals of the left that have been attributed to Alinsky but Snopes disputes this. I agree with Snopes that these goals did not originate with Alinsky but I believe they are being fulfilled everyday in this country by using Alinskis tactics. One could argue that the Democrats have pursued these policies since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson and the progressive era, 1. Healthcare--Control healthcare and you control the people. 2. Poverty-- Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. 3. Debt--Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to raise taxes and this will produce more poverty. 4. Gun Control--Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5. Welfare--Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, and income). 6. Education--Take control of what people read and listen to--take control of what children learn in school. 7. Remove the belief in God from government and schools. 8. Class Warfare--Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to spread the wealth by taking from the rich through taxes with the support of the poor. Does any of this sound familiar?
