Socialist ‘free’ stuff could be coming

If the Herald wants to follow up on Dr. Ben Carson’s reference to Hillary R.C. being a follower of Saul Alinsky, I would encourage you to look up “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky written in 1971. Hillary was indeed an advocate of Alinsky and learned from him how to gain the votes of minorities in particular and use their votes to pursue a leftist liberal neo-Marxist ideology.

President Obama was a supporter of Alinsky and helped fund the Alinsky Academy. Alinsky taught that revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on their suits and infiltrate churches, unions and political parties to end capitalism.

I now have a much better understanding of why Obama and Hillary do not want to use the word radical as will you.

Hillary has been a disciple of Alinsky, Bill Ayers and Obama and now is allowing Bernie Sanders to join her camp which is nothing more than a push for a socialist agenda. They want everything to be free. Well, the “free” part is paid for with our taxes which would probably be about 50 to 60 percent of your income along with a much larger government and fewer freedoms.

Is that what you want? I don’t!
