ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Didn't I draw a clear enough line between the two, Heather? I never said he has Marxist policies, I said he believes in the dream, and the clear influence of leftist radicalism and Marxist thought shows up time and again, from his wife quoting him, quoting Alinsky, in her convention speech, to his reference to ATMs as job killers. What to make of Michelle Obama's use the terms, “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be?” From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals. In last night's speech, Michelle Obama said something that peeked my curiousity. She said: "Barack stood up that day," talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, "and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be..." And, "All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be." . . . This is where it originated, by a hyperbolist who certainly is not a factual journalist cuz the fuckin ignorant swine cannot spell piqued. I notice that you use many of the words that Hitler used in Mein Kampf. Certainly all the articles, the word Marxist, the words; dream, believe , influence, radicalism, thought, and the list goes on and on. And that sort of language shows up time and again in your writings, so now we come to it, what logical and causal conclusion is certainly and irrefutably drawn from this Adolph? There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not? Though Robert Kennedy stated that he was quoting George Bernard Shaw when he said this, he is often thought to have originated the expression, which actually paraphrases a line delivered by the Serpent in Shaw's play Back To Methuselah : “You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’". So Alinsky steals from Shaw and so on. Fuckin weak, pal.
