Am starting a new thread so as not to hijack the other thread Who is Obama? He is a student of Saul Alinsky, who wrote "Rules for Radicals."
"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky
Obama helped fund 'Alinsky Academy': "The Woods Fund, a nonprofit on which Obama served as paid director from 1999 to December 2002, provided startup funding and later capital to the Midwest Academy.... Obama sat on the Woods Fund board alongside William Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization....
'Midwest describes itself as 'one of the nation's oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change.'... Midwest teaches Alinsky tactics of community organizing."
Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky: "True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.... Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.
"Obama is also an Alinskyite.... Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project.... Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer." (By Richard Poe, 11-27-07)

Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism:
Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of
Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:
"By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramsci's master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity's transcendent God."

Here is the Opening Page of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals":
Opening page - Dedication
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to
the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

Really, Robert?
What does your comment mean, exactly?
As a Christian, are you okay with this?

"Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values..."
This really got going in the 1970's with Rowe V Wade and birth control pills.
Soon to follow was "living together" and shortly thereafter the demise of the traditional family.
Welfare, food stamps and ADC greased the whole process.
And just in case anyone still actually got married - no fault divorce was introduced to make splitting up a family that much easier.

Alinsky was very smart.
But he depends on an awful lot of people being too stupid to see that they are willingly losing their independence to people that
believe they are too dumb to run their own lives and need government to decide things like whether or not they can buy sugared drinks.:rolleyes:

I don't know a lot about this man, but like everyone there are things I agree with and things I don't.
It seems like this man was intelligent.

Didn't I say I didn't know a lot about this man?
I googled his name and read a little about him.
Of course I didn't know anything about his book dedication.

And you found that to be sufficient to declare him to be a "smart man"?

Being a student of Saul Alinsky qualifies Obama in my book. <G>

Sigh!
I didn't know anything about this dedication when I first made my comment.
Considering this, I would say that concerning eternal matters, he is not smart at all.
I imagine he knows that now.
