The administration is using a playbook for it's political strategy--and it was written by a man named Sal Alinsky wrote in 1971 titled "Rules for Radicals".
This book, this manual, was written as a collection of rules to guide the process of confrontational tactics to help poor people fight against power and privilage. Many on the right, Republicans in general, have pointed toward the Democrates--and the White House--as staunch followers of the Alinsky tactics.
After learning more about this man and his beliefs, I agree with the accusations whole heartedly. As you learn more about this man, and his rules to sabotage those in power or those oppossed to a certain veiwpoint, you will be shocked when you watch the news and see these tactics employeed by nearly everyone within the administration. Obama, Axelrod, Emmanuel, Dunn, Michelle Obama, Jarrett---they all follow the script to the letter. And, as David Alinsky, son of Sal, recently wrote,
"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday."
This administration, and Barack Obama in particular, have demonstrated their willingness, and eagerness, to destroy the basic structures, beliefs, and foundations upon which this country was founded and built--and it's getting worse with each passing day.
Now more then ever it's crucial that you begin to understand the enemies of freedom, and it's crucial that you recognize the tactics they use to bring about such horrendous change to the American Way of Life. My advice to you is to learn these rules and tactics, and be able to recognize how they are being used to manipulate nearly every political argument.
Here is a brief video introduction into the Alinsky rules and history.
Interesting stuff.
This is just a quick introduction to the man who we hear about in the media so often, but yet most people don't really understand the Alinsky Rules, and how they are being applied today.
Know thy Enemy.
In my next post I'm going to list the rules one by one, but for today I want to leave you with another video to watch. It's actually an audio from Mike Waller on Secure Freedom Radio, and the topic is political warfare, and fighting with the Alinsky Rules. It's a long audio, but if you've got time it's a facinating look into the modern application of these rules in todays politics.

"The Revolutionary force today has two targets, moral as well as material. Its young protagonists are one moment reminiscent of the idealistic early Christians, yet they also urge violence and cry, 'Burn the system down!' They have no illusions about the system, but plenty of illusions about the way to change our world. It is to this point that I have written this book."
That quote from Alinsky is chilling--and to think the President of the United States turns to this man and his teachings on a consistent basis for the methods of governing though disruption, chaos, and division.
More Tomorrow . . .
