Alinsky's own words, from his 1946 "Reveille for Radicals",[9] capture his perspective, his motivation, and his style of engagement:
A People’s Organization is a conflict group, [and] this must be openly and fully recognized. Its sole reason in coming into being is to wage war against all evils which cause suffering and unhappiness. A People’s Organization is the banding together of large numbers of men and women to fight for those rights which insure a decent way of life. . . .
A People’s Organization is dedicated to an eternal war. It is a war against poverty, misery, delinquency, disease, injustice, hopelessness, despair, and unhappiness. They are basically the same issues for which nations have gone to war in almost every generation. . . . War is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play. . . .
A People’s Organization lives in a world of hard reality. It lives in the midst of smashing forces, dashing struggles, sweeping cross-currents, ripping passions, conflict, confusion, seeming chaos, the hot and the cold, the squalor and the drama, which people prosaically refer to as life and students describe as 'society'.
Words and a philosophy I can live with. Democratic (small D) beliefs, I'm thinking.
I do hope the President has a photo of Saul somewhere in the White House. Better him than the idols of some of the extremist elements in our nation.
Don't choke on the koolaid!
Dam sad that someone, no anyone in America thinks this small! They can't see there wouldn't be "our nation" without those "idols". None of the above Gomexico post would fit any philosophy of ANY president in the United States' past. I see this president continues to foment unrest and division in this country and some are buying his destructive goods hook, line, and sinker! tsk, tsk !!!!!

Please Pete, don't think of him as a clown. He is dividing this country within (when he promised to unite us) and then destroying us via the economy, defense, our dollar, and our world standing. He is systematically doing this, he is no clown!
This thread exemplifies their nuttiness quite well.
