The door was open and the communists were  sneaking out of the closet and into the White House.  People just weren't paying attention when  Michelle Obama quoted from Sal Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" i

Michelle Obama used lines from Rules for Radicals, a radical Far Left book by Saul Alinsky (“father of community organizing” and a notorious far-left radical) in her 2008 DNC Convention speech.

Gateway Pundit nailed her:

What to make of Michelle Obama’s use the terms, “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be?” From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals.

“Barack stood up that day,” talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, “and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be…” And, “All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.”

What struck me is that she reveals Obama for the plagiarist he is. Taking for the creidt what is not his credit and blaming others for his faults.

It should make sense to us he and she would quote Alinksy, though it is dismaying to see it. Both Obamas spent their adult lives studying and teaching Alinsky. Thus we have the disgusting displays of protesting filth we see in our streets today. They must be very proud.

They probably quoted Alinsky on purpose, knowing that followers would pick up on it and others (even media) would not.

You're right Marilyn, anyone indoctrinated and trained in Alinsky tactics would know exactly what the rest of the story is. They would know exactly what the Obamas stood for and what their agenda would be. Though I think the media has known all along to.

Good point Fren, plagiarism. And, Obama couldn't come right out and give credit for the quotes, it was more like code for what he stood for and his agenda. They understood where he was coming from.

I do agree that many would not even know how sneakin they are... We wouldnt recognize them for what they are, because we dont believe in a commie world.. Remember, that quote from the movie, " The Devils Advocate"... It rings so true... The greatest achievment that the Devil ever did was to convince people that he doesnt exist. Not the exact quote but close enough to get the idea... This is what the left is doing... Sneakin' a little bit in here and there whenever they can and right underneath our noses... They have taken over the schools, they have taken over our children, they have taken over the white house, they have put God out of the classrooms and brought in an agenda that is to teach the children it is ok, to love the same sex( which is the gays business, but dont force it on the kids) Sex education is being taught on how to have sex and not get pregnant.. This world is going to hell in a hand basket and this county is ripe for the pickins'...

And think about it. Kids born this year won't realize the world was ever different....if we can't halt what's going on.

Vickey, I just heard that line a couple of days ago and wrote it down.

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist"

Vickey, the left has basically raped the minds of our children, they're basically pedophiles.

I think I remember words very much like this from, Robert Kennedy, I think. I'll have to try and google it.
Big Mama Aug 31, 2012, 4:53pm UTC
You will find the words she used in Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals.

I looked it up (concerning Robert Kennedy's quote) It's similar but not Alinsky's. Robert Kennedy is said to be quoting George Benard Shaw.
Big Mama Aug 31, 2012, 9:17pm UTC
Yes thanks for the reminder. I was relatively sure that Alinsky wasn't part of of the picture back when Robert Kennedy was still alive.
And Shaw was another Big Government Communist!

I was thinking that from reading some literature way back when. Wasn't sure but the name rang a bell. Meant to go look it up to be sure, but got sidetracked.

Thanks for the reminder. I've been looking up a lot of authors, as of late and to my astonishment, sure enough so many of these authors were and are openly marxist communists, and facists. It's disturbing how much these characters have had an influence on our politics and our American culture to it's depriment.
Big Mama Sep 1, 2012, 1:50am UTC
Yes it is real disturbing. But We allowed it to happen.
Big Mama Aug 31, 2012, 9:16pm UTC
I wonder if she will quote Karl Marx at the convention this year?
Opinion Nate Ted Sep 3, 2012, 8:47pm UTC
I'll watch it Mama, and I'm sure it will be full of communist code words.
