"OBAMA'S REAL PLAN FOR CHANGE"

*Americans are well acquainted with presidential candidate
Barack
Obama's legendary pledges to bring "change" to America's
political and social landscape. (For example, see
here
and
here
and
here.)
Indeed, "
Change We Can Believe In"
is the slogan that adorns the homepage of his campaign website and
so many of the placards displayed by the supporters who attend his
speaking engagements. His
Democratic
rival, Hillary Clinton, is also well practiced at issuing
calls
for change. Her "
Change
and Experience" ad campaign was but an outgrowth of her 1993
declaration, as First Lady, that "
remolding
society is one of the great challenges facing all of us in the
West." Most Americans are unaware, however, that when Obama and
Clinton speak of "change," they mean change in the sense that a
profoundly significant, though not widely known, individual -- Saul
Alinsky -- outlined in his writings two generations ago. *
Alinsky helped to establish the confrontational political
tactics, which he termed "organizing," that characterized the 1960s
and have remained central to all subsequent revolutionary movements
in the United States. Both Obama and Clinton are committed
disciples of Alinsky's very specific strategies for "social
change."
Obama never met Alinsky personally; the latter died when Obama
was a young boy. But Obama was
trained
by the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) in Chicago
and worked for an affiliate of the
Gamaliel
Foundation, whose
modus operandi for the creation of "a more just and
democratic society" is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method. As
The
Nation
magazine
puts
it, "Obama worked in the organizing tradition of Saul Alinsky,
who made Chicago the birthplace of modern community organizing...."
In fact, for several years Obama himself
taught workshops on
the Alinsky method. Obama and his fellow agitators made demands for
many things in the Eighties,
including
taxpayer-funded employment-training services, playground
construction, after-school programs, and asbestos removal from
neighborhood apartments. Journalist and bestselling author
Richard
Poe writes: "In 1985 [d-64989] began a four-year stint as a
community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group
called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked with
ACORN
and its offshoot
Project
Vote, both creations of the Alinsky network." (In recent years,
Poe
notes, both of those organizations have run nationwide
voter-mobilization drives marred by allegations of fraudulent voter
registration, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay
scams.)
The Nation
reports,
"Today Obama continues his organizing work largely through classes
for future leaders identified by ACORN and the Centers for New
Horizons on the south side."

If you "really" want to see what Obama's "CHANGE TO CON AMERICA"
will mean for America, you need to read this complete article. If
he is allowed to carry out his plans, America as we know it will be
destroyed forever! Even most Liberals will not be happy with the
end results!
