Election '08: Most Americans REVILE SOCIALISM, yet Barack Obamas poll numbers remain competitive. One explanation: He is a longtime disciple of a man (Saul Alinsky) whose mission was to TEACH RADICALS TO DISGUISE THEIR IDEOLOGY.

The Democratic presidential nominees choice of the word CHANGE as his campaigns central slogan is not the product of focus-group studies, or the brainstorming sessions of his political consultants.

One of Obamas main inspirations, SAUL ALINSKY, was a man dedicated to revolutionary change that he was convinced must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward CHANGE AMONG THE MASS OF OUR PEOPLE. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are WILLING TO LET GO OF THE PAST AND CHANGE THE FUTURE.

Saul Alinsky, circa 1946: Like Obama, he wanted CHANGE. Sen. Obama was TRAINED by Chicagos INDUSTRIAL AREAS FOUNDATION, founded in 1940 by the RADICAL ORGANIZER SAUL ALINSKY. In the 1980s, Obama spent years as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), which operated USING ALINSKYS STRATEGIES, and was involved with two other Alinsky-oriented entities, ACORN and PROJECT VOTE.

On the OBAMA CAMPAIGN WEB SITE can be found a PHOTO of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom with POWER ANALYSIS AND RELATIONSHIPS BUILT ON SELF INTEREST written on the blackboard ??? key terms utilized in the Alinsky method.

The far-left Alinsky had no time for liberalism or liberals, declaring that a liberal is (someone) who puts his foot down firmly on thin air. He WANTED NOTHING LESS THAN TRANSFORMATIONAL RADICALISM. America was begun by its radicals, he wrote. America was built by its radicals. The hope and future of America lies with its radicals. And so, This is the job for todays radical . . . to FAN THE EMBERS OF HOPELESSNESS INTO A FLAME TO FIGHT. TO SAY, . . . LET US CHANGE IT TOGETHER!

ALINSKY STUDENTS ranged from militant Indians to Chicanos to Puerto Ricans to blacks from all parts of the black power spectrum, from PANTHERS TO RADICAL

PHILOSOPHERS, from a variety of campus activists, S.D.S. and others, to a priest who was joining a revolutionary party in South America.

CAPITALISM always was considered the ENEMY. Americas corporations are a spiritual slum, he wrote, and their arrogance is the major threat to our future as a free society. Is it surprising that an ALINSKY DISCIPLE SUCH AS OBAMA can promise so blithely to increase taxes on CEOs?

Obama calls his years as an ALINSKYESQUE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER in Chicago THE BEST EDUCATION I ever had, and where I learned the true meaning of my Christian faith. But as radicalism expert Richard Lawrence Poe has noted, CAMOUFLAGE is key to ALINSKY-STYLE ORGANIZING. In organizing coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.

Indeed, Alinsky believed in SACRIFICING ETHICS AND MORALS FOR THE GREAT CAUSE. Ethical standards must be elastic to stretch with the times, Alinsky wrote in his last book, Rules for Radicals, adding that ALL VALUES ARE RELATIVE IN A WORLD OF POLITICAL RELATIVITY.

Published a year before Alinskys death in 1972, Rules for Radicals includes a dedication in which he gives an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical . . . who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom . . . Lucifer.

Alinskys writings even explain what often seems like OBAMAS OVERSIZED EGO. In New Hampshire in January, for example, the senator told an audience that A BEAM OF LIGHT WILL COME DOWN UPON YOU, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AN EPIPHANY . . . and you will suddenly realize that YOU MUST GO TO THE POLLS and VOTE FOR OBAMA.

It was a bizarre spectacle, but consider that ALINSKY BELIEVED that anyone who is working against the haves is always facing odds, and in many cases heavy odds. If he or she does not have that complete self-confidence (or call it ego) that he can win, then the battle is lost before it is even begun.

NewsWkDickG is no doubt a Democratic Socialists who wants the world to give him and his uneducated kind their idea of the unAmerican Dream, meaning they do not need to achieve anything in life while living off of those of us who are willing to achieve. I will admit the Republican Party did let us down; but, Democratic Socialists are only after power at all cost. Like Obama, they will say and do anything.

NewsWkDickG in your second paragraph you have identified yourself. Go back to your god the almighty O and tell him he is losing his place in heaven.

One last question: Is this the first election in U.S. history were a presidential candidate is not only having to beat his competitor; but, also his running mate? NewsWkDickG your Democratic Socialists are in trouble.

The most talked about, blogged about, rumored about, gossiped about babies on the planet, for once, don't belong to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! They are Republican V.P. candidate Sarah Palin's 5 month old son and her daughter Bristol soon to be born baby!

Family values! What kind of parent would willingly expose their pregnant teenage daughter to this kind of media attention? Doesn't she need privacy as well as the love and attention from both of her parents? Are the Palins going to have any time to proviide her with the support they've promised? After all, campaigning is very time consuming, to say the least. You have to question Palin's defintion of "Family Values".

Careful there, Mr. Hateful. "Pro-life extremism" is like saying there's too much love in this home. What-- was the clue bus too full for a ride? Asking how John McCain picked someone as "wildly underqualified" as Palin for veep is tantamount to asking how on earth Joe Biden ended up with a dangerously underqualified headliner on his ticket, someone he admits shouldn't use the Oval Office for on-the-job training. She's got exec. experience, which all other candidates lack.

Where do I start? With: the waste of flesh writer of this article, "akdlt" or "troyola" the bedwetter. "akdlt" your are an idiot. Go back to your mother's basement, smoke your grass and stop thinking you have a brain. "troyola" is someone who lives only in an emotional state. Abortion and war are both sometimes necessary in life; but, should be only considered as a last resort. In the case of abortion the health of the mother is the only reason I can see as a logical reason. While a pregnancy from rape or incest is a hard issue for anyone to deal with it is still important not to take one???s anger out on the child. Adoption is always a better way than the expediency of abortion. Abortion at the end of the day is all about self not the child.

Now about the writer of this article: You write for a magazine that has NO journalistic ethic or integrity and after reading this article it show you have their problems. So sad.

There simply can be no doubt that the Republicans are blatantly and self-servingly boldly dishonest, simply put, just full of the BS. They are not the party they were sixteen and more years ago when they sincerely advocated small government, financial responsibility, to only do for the people what they couldn???t do for themselves and striving to be honest (the conservative values). They still use the word ???conservative??? today but it is just a word they use for emotional attachment and to hide behind, they only give lip service to the values it represents. The last eight years fully substantiates all of that as it is evident that they simply pursue their private agenda and continually lie without any hesitation to misrepresent, manipulate, camouflage, rationalize and excuse their actions. And now, they offer us a 72 year old candidate who is deteriorating and who out of desperation and irresponsibility chose a running mate who is aggressively bazaar, who is extreme in everything, who lies repeatedly without conscience, whose touch with reality is questionable and who is inexperienced in diplomacy, foreign policy, national interests and more; simply a person who is only an attack dog, as she herself says, ???a pit bull with lipstick???. Can you imagine Sarah Palin as president? Even as Vice President she would be a total embarrassment. It is very important that we really recognize their consistent dishonesty and their arrogant efforts to use deception to manipulate public opinion, because behind all of the lies, all they offer is more of the same Bush-Cheney placating of Special Interests. The only real change they will provide is downright scary!

One more point. There are several people who make comments here, who can easily be identified by their persistence, their dishonesty, their strong bias and their extreme statements, who simply have connection, being volunteer/staff, with the Republicans and are assigned to do what they are doing. It is consistent with everything else the Republicans are doing to deceive the public. The garbage they persistently put out and refer people to should further identify them and should be understood as attempts to mislead and manipulate. It is simply as with everything else, they do it with boldness and without any conscience. Just because things are offered on the internet doesn???t make them true; we need to be careful what and who we trust and to be logical, even cynical and rational and objective ourselves. It is important to get it right this time!

and that's exactly the problem with our society, everybody has the same attitude as you "akdlt" It's pretty sickening

whatever clears your Conscience man.
if it makes me feel better it can't be wrong!

I don't recall the point in time when our bodies said that having sex wasn't for the purpose of making children. I think they call it something like reproduction. to say that women have this "biological clock" and men don't have any need other than to put their thingy up in someone is above all else, sexist. just because you want to have sex, but can't deal with the "consequences", doesn't mean you have the right to kill someone. it is selfish and demeaning to all. it is like saying I like to drink and drive, so whoever is on the road is fair game.

i always loved the terms used to associate ones beliefs: "Pro life" and "pro choice" i.e. be a parent or kill someone, respectively.
