We the American People have tried for five years to pigeonhole
just what is Barack Hussein Obama’s political philosophy. Collectivist – certainly! Which common form of collectivist tyranny does he seek:
Socialism? Communism/Marxism? Communism/Leninism? Fascism? islamic Fascism? Black Liberation Social Justice? OR, is it his own –
Whatever Gets The Job Done?
Whatever the form, it is clear, he intends to rule. Anyone who tells you that you must pay your fair share and advance social justice, knows that SOMEONE MUST RULE in such a society – THAT PERSON INTENDS TO RULE!!! [Concept Ayn Rand]
“President Obama is proving to be a true disciple of Saul Alinsky (1909-1972), the founder of Community Organizing. Alinsky’s political action philosophy is based on chicanery, deceit, subterfuge, and just plain lying to force social change and financial redistribution. Not surprisingly, it turns out to be humbug — the product of one who tries to deceive.
“Alinsky doctrine states that ‘an organizer works in and for an open society . . . does not have a fixed truth . . . everything to him is relative and changing. All change means disorganization of the old and reorganization of the new’ (Alinsky, ‘Rules for Radicals,’ 1972).” [34]
~ ~ ~
I have quoted David Horowitz’ pamphlet: “Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution, The Alinsky Model,” several times.
David Horowitz speaks from personal experience – his parents were radicals, card-carrying Communists who called themselves “progressives,” [10, p. 18] – and he was a radical, until his daughter helped him see the truth. His intelligence, background and current mission to inform the American People of what we are up against are quite valuable. His pamphlet effectively exposes Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Others’ philosophical foundation and Alinsky’s rules for Implementation of Revolution. [10]
“To Alinsky radicals, ‘democracy’ means getting those who are in, out. Their goal is to mobilize the poor and ‘oppressed’ as a battering ram to bring down the system.” [10, p. 11]
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LITTLE BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHERE AMERICA IS RIGHT NOW!
[To get copies, see the NOTES Section.]
Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Progressives’ foundation is inextricably bound in the ideology of revolutionary/radical Saul Alinsky, 1909-1972.
~
We have realized Barack Obama is a “Progressive.”
But, what does that really mean – in his mind; in Hillary Clinton’s mind; in Other Progressive minds? Radicals use the term to disguise their collectivist designs for progressively tearing down society to progress toward replacing it with “heaven on earth.”
A second critical question is, are they “Moderates?” or, “Liberals?”
Let’s let Alinsky tell us himself, through David Horowitz:
“The radical organizer, Alinsky explains, ‘does not have a fixed truth – truth to him is relative and changing; everything to him is relative and changing. He is a political relativist.’ 32 [35, pp. 10-11] … Being a radical in the service of the higher good is a license to do anything that is required to achieve that good.” [10, p. 44]
“Liberals share radicals’ utopian agendas of a just and peaceful world but are hampered because they have scruples. They support radical ends but because they are principled they don’t like the means radicals use to get to their ends.” [10, p. 44] [Reiterating the common refrain of the ’60s: “I agree with communism’s goals; but I don’t support its methods.” See Part 2.]
“As a result, Alinsky’s contempt for them is boundless…. ‘while liberals are most adept at breaking their own necks with their tongues, radicals are most adept at breaking the necks of conservatives.’ 33” [36] [10, pp. 44-45]
“In contrast to liberals, who in Alinsky’s eyes are constantly tripping over their principles, the rule for radicals is that the ends justify the means…” [10, p. 45]
“The most basic principle of Alinsky’s advice to radicals is to lie to their opponents and disarm them by pretending to be moderates and liberals…. Deception is the radical’s most important weapon,… Racial arsonists such as Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright pose as civil rights activists; anti-American radicals such as Bill Ayers pose as patriotic progressives; socialists pose as liberals. The mark of their success is reflected in the fact that conservatives collude in the deception and call them liberals as well.” [10, p. 23]
A progressive member of the mainstream media, Chris Matthews, has had some interesting things to say about “progressive,” “liberal,” Mr. Obama and Saul Alinsky, that attest to his admiration for both men, and to the deceptive tactics taught by Alinsky. He appears to be a Fellow-Traveller, but, he also appears confused. I’m inclined to believe the heart-to-heart with Socialist Bernie Sanders shows his true allegiance to Alinsky. It seems he is a good example of how effective a man of his vacillations is in view of our ignorance of the Progressive/Radical methods.
“Why do you think people on the progressive side of things – – that`s the current label used by liberals — I don`t know what`s wrong with the word ‘liberal,’ but if you`re not running for office, I don`t know why you`re afraid of the word. I guess you might be afraid of somebody not voting for you if you`re — some people won`t even use the word ‘liberal’ when they`re writing columns anymore. I don`t understand it.” [37]
Five days later:
“Chris Matthews on Tuesday called “Rules for Radicals” author Saul Alinsky one of his heroes. This admission came only five days after the ‘Hardball’ host proudly admitted on the air that he was a liberal.
“‘I always try to remind myself of Saul Alinsky when I get confused,'” Matthews told ‘Hardball’ guest Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont).” [38] [Representative Sanders is an open Socialist.]
In another interview, Matthews defends Mr. Obama; declaring that Obama is not a “lefty.”:
Thou protesteth too much, Mr. Matthews.
“It’s so interesting, because Saul Alinsky, who I admire in so many ways, I don’t completely identify with his politics but back in the old days of Chicago organizing, he used to say to his young people, the opposite of what you just said. He said, ‘Sure there’s a lot of complexity and gray areas, and sometimes the other side has got some good points, but don’t recognize them. Once you take side, accept completely the right of your side and pretend the other side has no argument going for it….'” [39]
II
More on Alinsky’s “Doppelganger Agenda,” historically:
“Alinsky’s agenda is the same as that of the radicals who called for ‘Revolution Now’ in the 1960s…. nothing new about radicals camouflaging their agenda as moderate in order to disarm their opposition…. 1930s ‘popular front’ was designed to accomplish. It was devised by Communists, who pretended to be democrats in order to form alliances with liberals which would help them to acquire the power to shut the democracy down. It was Lenin’s idea too, from whom Alinsky appropriated in the first place.” [10, p. 27]
Alinsky to too-honest American Youth:
” ‘[The] failure of many of our younger activists to understand the art of communication has been disastrous,’ writes Alinsky. What he really means is their honesty is disastrous, their failure to understand the art of mis-communication…. he teaches radicals who are trying to impose socialism on a country whose people understand that socialism destroys freedom: Don’t sell it as socialism; sell it as [as] ‘progressivism,’ ‘economic democracy’ and ‘social justice.’ “ [10, p. 28] (Color emphasis added.)
Clearly, true liberalism is NOT progressivism/radicalism. It is collectivism, but short of radicalism.
Therefore, Liberals who think they see kindred spirits in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, et.al., are deceived.
” ‘Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of the people.’ … it is first necessary to sell the people on change itself, the ‘audacity of hope,’ and ‘yes we can.’… proposing moderate changes which open the door to your radical agendas:…” [10, p. 29] We’ve all had a crash-course from Mr. Obama’s Playbook!
Liberals who agree with the goal of Progressives – human-created heaven on earth – would do well to open their eyes to see the corrupt means freely used by Progressives in seeking that unreachable, anti-God, goal.
And, from there, to recognize the true, unconscionable horrors and DEATH to which the ends justifying the means has driven MILLIONS of human beings on earth in the last 100 years! Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China, North Korea, Viet Nam, Cambodia, The Congo, Sudan, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, to name some that come readily to mind.
Do American Liberals and Moderates really want to join Progressives, idolizing such radicals as Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Alinsky, Obama, H.R. Clinton, et.al.?

Until America understands Radical Saul Alinsky
WE CANNOT TRULY UNDERSTAND BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON,
AND THEIR ILK!!!
David Horowitz further, on Alinsky:
“…he explained his attitude in these words: ‘Communism itself is irrelevant. The issue is whether they are on our side….’ 3” [36] [10, p. 4]
“… This failure to condemn communism…contrasts dramatically with the extreme terms in which he was willing to condemn his own country as a system worth ‘burning.’ 4” [35] [10, p. 4]
“In particular he never questioned the Marxist view of society and human nature, or its goal of a utopian future, and never examined its connection to the epic crimes that Marxists had committed. He never asked himself whether the vision of a society which would be socially equal was itself the source of the totalitarian state….” [10, p. 5] [Color emphasis added.]
It appears that Alinsky did not ask these questions because, like his hero, Lucifer (Satan), his true goal IS the totalitarian state with the enslavement inherent therein. And, like his hero, the Fallen Angel, he had nothing but contempt and hatred for Man.
“…. For Alinsky, the revolutionary’s purpose is to undermine the system and then SEE WHAT HAPPENS….” [10, p. 5] As the Sky truly falls upon our heads, does this not sound FAMILIAR!?
This is the man and the agenda emulated by Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham (Clinton) during their adult lifetimes. [10; Hillary specifically, pp. 8,9,11,12] Along with Fellow-Travellers trained or influenced by Alinsky, including at least: Van Jones [pp. 25-26], Cesar Chavez & Jesse Jackson [p. 7], Al Sharpton [p. 8], The Kennedys [pp. 8, 29]. Along with, “websites such as: Huffington Post, Daily Kos and MoveOn.org…” [p. 41]
Chris Matthews, see above and NOTES.
Michelle Obama; here’s just one revealing example from March 8, 2013, re: “create this world”:
“Imagine our kids begging and pleading, throwing tantrums to get you to buy more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Yes, this is possible. (Laughter.) It is possible to create this world! (Applause.)” [40] Sounds innocent until one realizes she means “create!” And with that, she means, “heaven on earth!” [See Part 4.]
Al Gore is a Progressive:
For the article: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/01/al-gore-fox-news-talk-radio-propaganda-has-created-a-hostile-environment-for-progressives/
Relevant to Al Gore:
“BTW, most ‘serious’ enviro[n]mentalists are Alinsky radicals too, which is why they never let the facts get in the way of a good ‘story.’ “ [41] This article titled: “The Saul Alinsky/George Soros ‘Rules for Radicals’; not funny anymore!” is a review of the David Horowitz pamphlet.
Please note who this author pairs with Alinsky!!!
David Horowitz does not mention Soros – who is working hard spending billions toward “The Open Society” – but he does say,
“What they had – and still have – is a vague idea of the kingdom of heaven they propose to create, in Marx’s case ‘the kingdom of freedom,’ in Alinsky’s ‘the open society‘ in the case of the current left, ‘social justice.’ “ [10, p. 51] (Emphasis added.)
I think it is safe to say, George Soros is a Radical Fellow-Traveller with Alinskite organizations. He is an extremely dangerous enemy of Our Liberty, Under God!
Of course, there are many more Progressives. I wanted to just name a few to give a small sampling of people of whom readers have, or may have, heard.

David Horowitz on Alinskyite Barack Obama, specifically:
“…Alinsky who wove the inchoate relativism of the post-Communist left into a coherent whole, and helped to form the coalition of communists, anarchists, liberals, Democrats, black racialists, and social justice activists who spear-headed the anti-globalization movement just before 9/11, and then created the anti-Iraq War movement, and finally positioned one of their own to enter the White House. As Barack Obama summarized these developments at the height of his campaign: ‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’ 5″ [42, link to videos.] [10, pp. 6-7]
“After Obama became a U.S. Senator, his wife, Michelle, told a reporter, ‘Barack is not a politician first and foremost. He’s a community activist exploring the viability of politics to make change.’ Her husband commented: ‘I take that observation as a compliment.” [10,p. 15]
IV
David Horowitz on what Conservatives and All Americans MUST understand:
“Until conservatives begin to understand exactly how dishonest radicals are – and why – it will be hard to defend the system under attack. For radicals the noble end – creating a new world – justifies any means. And if one actually believed, as they do, that it is possible to create heaven on earth, what institution would one not be justified in destroying to realize that future?” [10, p. 34] (Emphasis added.)
From The Holy Bible:
“And they said to one another, ‘Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed across the whole earth.’… And HASHEM said, ‘Behold they are one people….and this they begin to do! And now, should it not be withheld from them all they proposed to do? Nothing that they propose will now be impossible for them.’… And HASHEM dispersed them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city….” Genesis 11:4, 6, 8. Stone Edition, Tanach [“Old Testament”]
“make a name” – “… the idea of definite and conspicuous position;…” from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, at Hebrew 8034.
They knew God’s commandment to Man:
“… Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, the bird of the sky, and every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28
They were rebelling against God, in defiance declaring their equality with Him – refusing to be “dispersed across the whole earth.” Their enormous hubris shows in their determination to build their city and tower, to invade God’s Own Abode!!!
The Rebellion redoubled efforts to build Babel 200 years ago, including in America!
Alinsky, acknowledging the “possible” Truth of The Holy Bible, and dedicating his book:
“Lest we forget, an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment 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 so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.” [10, p. 16] His kingdom is Hell! His subjects recruited from the People of Earth!!!
Is this the “heaven on earth” they actually seek?
David Horowitz on radicalism found in Satan:
“The essence of what it means to be a radical is thus summed up in Alinsky’s praise for Satan: to be willing to destroy the values, structures and institutions that sustain the society in which we live.” [10, p. 18]
“Alinsky’s tribute to Satan as the first radical is further instructive because it reminds us that the radical illusion is an ancient one and has not changed th[r]ough the millennia…. Satan tempted Adam and Eve to destroy their paradise: If you will rebel against God’s command then ‘You shall be as gods.’ This is the radical hubris: We can create a new world. Through our political power we can make a new race of men and women who will live in harmony and peace and according to the principles of social justice. We can be as gods.” [10, p. 19] (Color emphasis added.)
From The Holy Bible:
“Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” Revelation 12:17
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
V
David Horowitz – the chief difference between conservative and radical philosophies:
“…why conservatives are conservative and why radicals are dangerous. Because conservatives pay attention to the consequences of action, including their own, and radicals don’t.” [10, p. 19]
“Thus Alinsky begins his text by telling readers exactly what a radical is. He is not a reformer of the system but its would-be destroyer. In his own mind the radical is building his own kingdom, which to him is a kingdom of heaven on earth. Since a kingdom of heaven built by human beings is a fantasy – an impossible dream – the radical’s only real world efforts are those which are aimed at subverting the society he lives in. He is a nihilist.” [10, p. 16]
“The title of Hillary’s thesis was ‘There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.’ In this title she had singled out the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause — his embrace of political nihilism.” [10, p. 8]
It is clear that Hillary Clinton knows what she preaches and that her promises will never come about, thus, exposing herself as a Perfect Alinsky Radical.
“The Latin word ‘nil’ was a contraction of the word for ‘nothing.’ The Russian nihilists believed in nothing but the accumulation of power for power’s sake. Sound familiar?” [41]
David Horowitz re: nihilism:
“This is something that conservatives generally have a hard time understanding. As a former radical, I am constantly asked how radicals could hate America and why they want to destroy a society that compared to others is tolerant, inclusive and open, and treats all people with a dignity and respect that is the envy of the world. The answer to this question is that RADICALS ARE NOT COMPARING AMERICA TO OTHER REAL WORLD SOCIETIES. THEY ARE COMPARING AMERICA TO THE HEAVEN ON EARTH – THE KINGDOM OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND FREEDOM – THEY THINK THEY ARE BUILDING. AND COMPARED TO THIS HEAVEN EVEN AMERICA IS HELL….” [10, pp. 16-17] (Color and “all capitals” emphasis added.)
