Interesting piece here from the Washington Free Beacon. I’m sure most of our readers know who Saul Alinsky was. His book Rules for Radicals had a big influence on Hilary Clinton and Barack and Michele Obama. The book was dedicated to Lucifer because Alinsky considered the devil to be the exemplar of destruction of the establishment. “Lest we forget,” he wrote, “at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), 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.”
Alinsky wanted to destroy the political system he lived under. Hypocritical, self-proclaimed advocate of the “have nots,” he had no problem staying at the best hotels when traveling and lived and died in lush Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. That he could not as a youngster growing up in a poor area of Chicago. In one interview with a magazine that exploits and degrades women, he said that he wanted to go to hell:
“Let’s say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell. Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I’ve been with the have-nots. Over here, if you’re a have-not, you’re short of dough. If you’re a have-not in hell, you’re short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I’ll start organizing the have-nots over there. They’re my kind of people.” Yeah, right! The cynic could not live with them in this world, but he pretended to want to live with them in hell.
The Washington Free Beacon: Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.
Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing. Read the rest here.
