Liberal is too nice a name for the element that has taken over the Democrat Party and moved it far to the left.  Watching Bart Stupak buckle to the pressure of the radical leadership of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama gave further proof that we no longer have a liberal Democrat Party leading in Washington, D.C.  We have a radical one.  And those who try to act like old-fashioned Democrats will be pushed out, found other jobs, ruined.

When Democrats push through a bill that 75% of Americans are very concerned about, that is not liberal; it is radical.

When, with the capitulation of every last pro-life Democrat in the House to President Obama's empty executive order, there are no pro-life Democrats left, this is not liberal; it is radical.

A radical is a donkey of a different color.  He leans dangerously to the left, close to Communism and Marxism.  He goes beyond socialism, but he is not averse to using socialism to attain the goals of radically restructuring society.  When Obama says he wants to finish the work that Franklin D. Roosevelt began, this is what he means.

The Alinsky-model radicals, whom President Obama embraces, and who are filling his cabinet posts and other appointments, believe that their goals justify any means.  That is why they can steal votes, lie, cheat, make backroom deals, and say one thing on the campaign trail and do another after elections.  The more idealistic of them might murder, if the occasion justifies it.  And they feel proud, rather than ashamed, for destroying people and institutions.

Saul Alinsky, radical organizer and writer, was born in 1909.  He was a Chicagoan like Barack Obama.  By profession he was a "community organizer," too.  His life's goal was to organize a revolution in America, to destroy what he thought was an oppressive and unjust system of government.  Alinsky was drawn into the world of Chicago gangs, and he became a buddy of the thug—Al Capone.  Frank Nitti, the Enforcer, was like a godfather to Alinsky.  And Alinsky blamed society for all ills, saying that it was society that caused criminals to commit crimes.  The true enemies of society, as they saw it?  Private property and individual rights.  Those ideas especially must be sacrificed for the common good.

Radicals are Utopians who talk of living in a just and peaceful world, even if it means they must kill millions to achieve it. A radical would rather save a snail darter than a farmer's livelihood or an unborn baby.  A radical would find it quite easy to pull the plug on grandma, if it would achieve better health for an illegal immigrant.  Of course, not every Democrat in Washington is aware of where the party is going.  No doubt, many if not most would object that they are being led into radicalism and used to destroy American institutions.  But they are being pressured beyond belief by this President, who fully knows the path he is taking to restructure society.  He not only taught Alynskian principles at Harvard; he wants to put them into practice.  Under radicalism, he will sacrifice America's Christian history and heritage, our relationship with Israel; he will bow before the dictators of the world and snub the leaders of democratic nations. He will confiscate the wealth of the wage-earner and businessman and give it to the poor and the entity of his choice.  He will pick the winners and the losers in the banking world and the auto industry.  Next, he is coming after our water and our air, our fuel, our cars and our homes.  The arrogance of a radical knows no bounds.  In the past, liberals merely talked and complained about economic disparity.  Now, under President Obama, the radicals intend to make the winners of today's society the losers of tomorrow's.

What is most tragic is that Obama could not have won the election without the help of the liberal news media.  If Americans had known then what they are learning now, they would have perhaps voted for a true fiscal and social conservative like Governor Mike Huckabee.  A smear campaign against Huckabee was begun by the Club for Growth that proved effective in painting him as a fiscal liberal, when a look at his record in Arkansas would have shown this to be wrong.  This smear campaign, along with the liberal bias of the press allowing  Obama to be pictured as the savior, McCain as the Bush clone, and Huckabee as the dismissed gun-clinger and preacher made the present unlikely scenario possible—America electing an anti-freedom, anti-private-property radical. With the news media giving Barack Obama a pass at every step of his way to the Presidency, Americans were kept in the dark as to Obama's true nature.

We should all have been informed by the investigative media that the church the Obama's attended was a front for radical Liberation Theology and that the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright was willing to "damn America" instead of asking God to "bless America."  The Republican Party was afraid to state too openly the truth of Obama's radicalism, lest there be a backlash of those who saw his community work in Chicago as heroic.  If the news media had done its job, though, we would have realized that ACORN is the most radical organization in the United States, and that Obama being a "community organizer" was more than just a joke in Gov. Sarah Palin's Vice Presidential speech at the Republican Convention.

David Horowitz, a former radical who has converted to Christianity, warns in his booklet, Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution:  The Alinsky Model, that the ideas of revolutionaries are seductive, especially to those who think of themselves as "Have Nots."  Revolutionaries use sentimental and seductive words, such as "social justice," to persuade their followers that fraud, and even murder and mayhem are all right to usher in their "promised land."

But otherwise, if there is no viable plan, then it is the means used to get there that make the revolution what it is.  Each step of the way creates the revolutionary world.  What radicals like Saul Alinsky create is not salvation but chaos.  And presidential disciples of Alinsky, what will they create?

Ryan Lizza, a reporter for The New Republic, interviewed Gregory Galluzo, a trainer at the Alinsky Industrial Areas Foundation that taught workshops Obama attended.  He also interviewed Obama.  In his article entitled "The Agitator" (published 3/9/07), Lizza was told by Michele Obama the following:

Barack is not a politician first and foremost.  He's a community activist exploring the viabilility of politics to make change."  Her husband commented: "I take that observation as a compliment."
