Alinsky Wins!

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Well, it’s over. Congratulations go to Barack Obama, who won reelection and the presidency for four more years. Now, he must bind up the wounds inflicted on the nation during this protracted campaign. That necessary and desirable goal will, unfortunately, be made more difficult by the way Mr. Obama campaigned. He mobilized his partisans – but bitterly divided the country – with the politics of envy, grievance and entitlement. This was most evident in the Democrats’ vicious, but highly effective, personal attacks on Mitt Romney. The approach was right out of the playbook of Mr. Obama’s mentor, Saul Alinsky, a self-described revolutionary who called for freezing, personalizing and polarizing an adversary. The test of whether President Obama now will truly lead “one nation” will be whether he continues to apply or jettisons Alinsky’s rules for radicals.
