These 8 rules are defined as they were shown in simple form from the book "Rules For Radicals" by Saul Alinsky, a man set upon the takeover of the United States by Socialists.
1. Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people
2. Poverty -�� Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3. Debt -�� Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4. Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5. Welfare - Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6. Education -�� Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school
7. Religion -�� Remove belief in God from the Government and schools
8. Class Warfare -�� Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

so how does this book, written 1971, compare as what is happening now?

I haven't read the book

the 'rules' have been followed to some extent since the founding of the country

except #7, which is more recent

Rule #7 is based on a false dilemma.

seems like all that has stepped up in the last few years... the police state is being created faster now...

Saul Alinsky's son: Obama learned his lesson well


In Artful Dodger style, Barack Obama, plays down his mentorship with Communist author Saul Alinsky. But Alinsky's son, L. David Alinsky, credits Obama for learning his lesson well from the Communist guru.

Indeed, Alinsky Jr. who credits his late father for the success of last week's Democratic National Convention, may have done something that Obama's detractors couldn't: blown the cover on the presidential hopeful's communist leanings.

No one can blame Alinsky for the pretentiousness of the Ancient Greek Temple from which Obama addressed plebes, or for the tacky neon colours on display at the Pepsi Centre, but it was Alinsky who wrote Rules for Radicals, the bible of the far left.

Says Alinsky's son L. David Alinsky of his father's influence at the Dem Convention: ALL the elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situation and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowd's chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people.

The Democratic National Convention had all the elements of the perfectly organized event, Saul Alinsky style, the Communist guru's son wrote in a letter published yesterday in the Boston Globe.

The Artful Dodger may be less than pleased that he has been pegged as a Saul Alinsky Poster Boy by the guru's own son.
Barack Obama's training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness, Alinsky Jr. wrote to the Globe. It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. 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.

Alinsky should be reminded that the West has stared down communism everywhere it has raised its hideous head.

influencing a Democratic convention from the grave pales in comparison to the results that followed President Ronald Reagan's famous words, Mr. Gorbachev, take down this wall.

The commonsense and freedom-loving Gipper would have chuckled at the audacity of Obama's Ancient Greek Temple stage setting and would have told Obama what he told the world: All great change in America begins at the dinner table.

Reagan also said: I have seen the rise and fall of Nazi tyranny, the subsequent cold war and the nuclear nightmare that for 50 years haunted the dreams of children everywhere. During that time my generation defeated totalitarianism. As a result, your world is poised for better tomorrows. What will you do on your journey?
Alinsky considered himself a realist above all, the ultimate pragmatist. (American Thinker, Aug. 30, 2008). As a confirmed atheist, Alinsky believed that the here and now is all there is, and therefore had no qualms about assorted versions of morality in the pursuit of worldly power. He didn't coddle his radical acolytes or encourage their bourgeois distinctions between good and evil when it came to transferring power from the Haves to the Have Nots. Alinsky saw the already formed church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demanding goods and services.
Obama followed the same path.

It is a fact that activist-*** senator Barack Hussein Obama started off his career as an activist with a position as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious conference (CCRC) in Chicago. Both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the Alinsky model of community agitation, wherein paid organizers learned, in Alinsky's own words, how to rub raw the sores of discontent.

Meanwhile L. David Alinsky, perhaps unwittingly put Obama into the proper perspective by stating without reservation: Obama learned his lesson well.

Strange that we hear so little about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And strange no on was brave enough to really rise an Alarm,instead of a few tired objections!
Reminds one of the struck-blind Citizens of Troy rolling that Horse into the City,and breaking down the Defenses to bring it in! <<<<<<<<<<<

Being agnostic for my own reasons doesn't mean I'm blind to others beliefs, but I did always liked the saying "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the people he wasn't real."

I apply it to persona and politics.

The gov't trying to convince the people they care about them as they allow and create the destruction of our rights and liberties.

They follow the Weather play book like the ten commandments.... doesn't matter who sits the throne

Another "bible" they follow is the teachings of Edward Bernays

Truth in media?..... another great lie

it seems that barry wants a socialist regime, everything points to it... i take it the people don't matter?

i'm not understanding the point to it... but i'm guessing it has something to do with money...
