THE CHD CONNECTION TO BARACK OBAMA - 2 of 2

The CHD Connection to Barack Obama 2 of 2

“In many individuals the spiritual structure has never matured; as a result, they have never acquired the ability to stand freely and firmly on their own. Their lack of such an interior foundation makes them susceptible to all the changing philosophies of this world and to all their false promises: the result is disappointment, hostility toward everyone and everything, loss of hope in God and in the world.” Pope Benedict XVI.

Continued from EagleForum.org. November14, 2008 by Phyllis Schlafly:

CCHD also announced that it has formed a task force to ensure that the Church funds are spent according to the guidelines of the Bishops’ poverty-fighting program. Presumably, the previous millions of dollars given to ACORN were within the Bishops’ guidelines. Barack Obama knows the political value of ACORN. He gave $800,000 in campaign payments disguised as payments for “advance work” to an Alinsky front group called Citizens Services Inc.

Obama admits he got his start as a community organizer in Chicago, saying it was “the best education I ever had, better than anything I got at “Harvard Law School.” He tries to downplay the connection with ACORN, claiming he worked for churches, but he was trained by Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation and then spent in the 1980s teaching the Alinsky method to others through several Alinsky offshoots such as Project Vote and Developing Communities Project in Chicago.

Saul Alinsky’s son Lee David Alinsky felt compelled to remedy Obama’s failure to give proper credit. In a LETTER to the “Boston Globe” in August after Obama’s open-stadium rally in Denver, the younger Alinsky wrote: “Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.”

Saul Alinsky explained his community organizing tactics in his book, RULES FOR RADICALS.” His game plan was to divide the community into the Halves and the Halves Nots, make the Have Nots believe that they are unjustly treated by the Halves, build resentment against the American social and economic system, use church congregations to mobilize street agitators, and lobby government for higher taxes and big-spending welfare programs in order to confiscate the wealth and power of the Halves and turn it over to the Have Nots.

Alinksy dedicated his book to Lucifer, “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom.”

Another Alinsky quote seems remarkably prophetic: “Ego must be so all-pervading that the personality of the organizer is contagious, that it converts the people from despair to defiance, creating a mass ego.”
George H. Kubeck
