Saul Alinsky was a community organizer and the father of the modern community organizer movement. In fact, he wrote the book for community organizersâRules For Radicals (1971). In his 2012 book for Truth in Action Ministries, Radical Rulers: The White House Elites Who Are Pushing America Toward Socialism, journalist Robert Knight writes, âA âcommunity organizerâ since at least the 1920s, Alinsky had schooled countless young idealistic reformers in the arts of obtaining political power in order to promote various left-wing causes.â Here is what Alinsky wrote in the dedication page of his book: âLest 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 beginsâor 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 kingdomâLucifer.â After pointing out that âAlinsky saluted Satan as his inspiration,â Knight notes: âAnd a devilish business it is since Alinskyâs primer is all about using deception, manipulation and raw power to bring about a communistic future.â A committed Marxist, Alinsky grew up in a rough part of Chicago and worked hard to implement social justiceâas he understood it. He believed that the ends justified the means. He said the community organizer is âa political relativist.â Author Bill Federer said, âThis idea that Saul Alinsky adopted is: Youâre convinced your agenda is so good, any means necessary to get there is okayâlying, voter fraud, intimidation, bribery, threats, anything.â Obama studied Alinsky and is reported to have taught Alinskys views. David Alinsky, Saulâs son, has spoken of âBarack Obamaâs training in Chicago by the great community organizers.â Saul Alinskyâs influence helped create ACORNâdedicated to mobilizing more minority votes. Successful lawsuits against ACORN have found it to guilty of subverting the electoral process. While many people want to resolve conflict and controversy, Saul Alinksy relished it as a way to achieve power. Alinksy stated in a film, âFirst rule of change is controversy. Change means movement, and movement means friction and friction means heat and heat means controversy.â Saul Alinsky also believed that you could achieve your radical goals by demonizing the opposition. He states: âPick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. The real action is in the enemyâs reaction. The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength. Tactics, like life, require that you move with the action.â While seemingly caring about the poor, note critics of Saul Alinsky and his followers, what they really want is political power and will use any means necessary to seize it. Tragically, reading Rules for Radicals is like reading the playbook for the Obama administration, as the president is engaged in âfundamentally transformingâ the United States.
