Liberal elites fixated on power
I listened to Hillary Clinton’s speech recently and I must admit she knows her way around when it comes to attacking her opponents Alinsky style. Hillary was a close correspondent of Saul Alinsky, a socialist radical who was an advocate of “the ends justify the means” who authored the book “Rules for Radicals,” a “how to” for left-wing organizers and communists. Make no mistake, Mr. Alinsky was a destroyer, not a builder.
Hillary Clinton wrote a 92-page thesis for Wellesley College titled “There is Only the Fight,” an analysis of the Alinsky doctrine. In 1993 the White House asked Wellesley College to “not” release Hillary’s thesis and the college complied until the Clinton incumbency was over.
During Barack Obama’s presidential quest, Michelle Obama’s college thesis was withheld until after the election. Barack Obama advocated and taught Alinsky tactics when he was a community organizer in Chicago.
Alinsky taught that “power” above all is what matters; promise anything to achieve that end. Increase and enhance power by keeping the masses divided, slander enemies, promote strife and misinformation, exploit envy and resentment, corrupt voting integrity, liberalize criminal laws, push amnesty and open boarders, never let on to what the ultimate goal really is ... sound familiar?
So, why do these elite self-proclaimed pillars of propriety exhibit such an effort to eliminate or squelch information that the public has a right to know? Simple, they don’t want the public to know. After all, items such as secret Iranian concessions, IRS corruption, the Benghazi debacle, fast and furious, the Clinton Foundation, Obamacare facts, the “true” state of the economy, troop withdrawal in Iraq that spawned ISIS and Hillary’s “secret” emails are an acute embarrassment. The elite have outgrown the law, the Constitution and us.
