Dan Henninger On Barack Obama
He points out that while Barak's rhetoric is soaring his message is very downbeat and paints a gloomy portrait of America if you listen to what he is saying. I will repeat a quote from one of his mentors Saul Alinsky, a communist.
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default.."
Need I say more?

Saul Alinsky trained Obama well! Neither did he do a bad job on Hillary. If we get either one of them in 09 it's going to be a really tough four years. :(
Don't worry Gayle, Hillary is toast and Barack's very thin veneer of hope will wear out as the months roll along since he is nothing but a typical liberal socialist behind his rhetoric. All we have to do is point out what kind of change he means ie communism, losing the GWOT and huge tax increases on top of massive gov't regulation of business and energy.
