I'm not into cut and pasting the whole article (that's Harry's schtick?) but I will post his closing paragraph- "What I found quite amazing after reading "Rules for Radicals" is that I feel that I had stumbled upon THE liberal playbook. It is quite easy to look back at the lead-up to the elections of 2006 and 2008 and see Alinsky's handiwork. But, I find myself wondering if the "radicals" now in charge have unwittingly positioned themselves to be victims of their own game ... I guess that answer may come in 2010 and/or 2012." I think his dates were off a bit, but he was close... Saul Alinsky devoted his intellect and his life to helping poor people. Your Jesus would have liked him. I was delighted to spend some time working with one of Alinsky's organizations and later retaining him as key speaker at a convention for an organization for which I worked. Oh, at that convention as it was closing, the professional staff went out on strike and stayed out for 10 days. Management, of which I was a part, could not get a settlement. On the 10th day, the union's chief negotiator asked that I be brought to the table to represent management. I settled the strike on the 11th day in less than an hour without it costing the organization a dollar more than it had budgeted for staff. That was the first time I worked as a labor negotiator. About a decade later, I was part of a postal labor management committee that negotiated the largest labor contract in the history of the United States. What a guy. I am surprised we never heard about this. |
