"Barack Obama's Rules For Revolution, The Alinsky Model"

David Horowitz, a former communist-turned-conservative and Editor of FrontPageMag.com, is the author of this $3.00 handbook which is small enough to fit into your pocket.  Horowitz synthesizes Alinsky's tactics, which Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, and other "progressive" members of Congress are utilizing to destroy America.  Once our republic has been destroyed, they can transform the country into something we would not recognize, and increase their power at the same time.  Our Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew this was happening on our watch.

Excerpts:
Guided by Alinsky principles, post-Communist radicals are not idealists but Machiavellians.  Their focus is on means rather than ends, and therefore they are not bound by organizational orthodoxies in the way their admired Marxist forebears were.  Within the framework of their revolutionary agenda, they are flexible and opportunistics and will say anything (and pretend to be anything) to get what they want, which is resources and power.

In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote:  "From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army."  The issue is never the issue.  The issue is always the revolution.

Unlike the Communists who identified their goal as a Soviet State - and thereby generated opposition to their schemes - Alinsky and his followers organize their power bases without naming the end game, without declaring a specific future they want to achieve - socialism, communism, a dictatorship of the proletariat, or anarchy.  Without committing themselves to concrete principles or a specific future, they organize exclusively to build a power base which they can use to destroy the existing society and its economic system.  By refusing to commit to principles or to identify their goal, they have been able to organize a coalition of all the elements of the left who were previously divided by disagreements over means and ends.

Conservatives think of war as a metaphor when applied to politics.  For radicals, the war is real.  That is why when partisans of the left go into battle, they set out to destroy their opponents by stigmatizing them as "racists," "sexists," "homophobes" and "Islamophobes."  It is also why they so often pretend to be what they are not ("liberals" for example) and rarely say what they mean.  Deception for them is a military tactic in a war that is designed to eliminate the enemy.

Alinsky's advice can be summed up in the following way.  Even though you are at war with the system, don't confront it as an opposing army; join it and undermine it as a fifth column from within.
