The Greenville News

Who is Saul Alinsky? This name has been thrown around the last few days. Curious, I looked him up. Here's what I found. Alinsky was a radical. He wrote a book in 1946, "Reveille for Radicals." It was a training manual for radicals. It was dedicated to "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment so effectively he won his own kingdom ... Lucifer."

What does this have to do with today's happenings?

Facts: Woods Fund, which helped fund Alinsky's academy that taught the tactics of community organizing. Sound familiar? Barack Obama was the paid director of Woods Fund from 1994-2002.

He was also on the board of directors alongside William Ayers. Remember him? He was founder of the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization.

Now for the best part. Hillary Clinton in 1969 wrote her thesis for a bachelor of arts degree at Wellesley College. The title, "There is Only the First Fight," refers to an earlier version of Alinsky's first book, the earlier mentioned "Reveille for Radicals." This should be a wake up call for America as we decide who to vote for in this coming election.

I only hope it turns out the best for our country.
