The story of how two of Alinsky’s radical revolutionaries were able to reach the highest positions in the American government ought to be studied in political science courses. It will reveal how deception has played such an important part in recent American politics, even though Americans are reluctant to believe that their President could be a professional liar. Indeed, Barack Obama has turned the White House into an Alinsky House of Lies.
Saul Alinsky was a radical revolutionary who taught other radical revolutionaries that the only way to achieve power in the United States is by stealth and deception. He said that Americans would never tolerate a Russian or Cuban style violent revolution and that the only way to impose socialism on America would be by not calling it socialism.
They could call it progressivism or liberalism, but they must never call it socialism. And they must never call the advocates of socialist programs socialists.
Even Alinsky refused to call himself a socialist or communist. Indeed, when Hillary Rodham tried to pin him down when she was writing her Senior Honors thesis about him, he refused to label himself. Why? Because it would make it too easy for the enemies of socialism to label his disciples socialists, thus making them all ineligible for high positions in government, let alone the White House.
