"Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future."

Sound familiar? That passage is from the prologue of Saul Alinsky's book Rules For Radicals. Saul Alinsky has been cited as an influence on our current candidate for change, Barack Obama, and darned if the approach Obama is taking doesn't exactly reflect Alinsky's method. The current economic crisis couldn't have come at a better time for Obama, and he is sure to be hoping to ride the current wave of frustration right into the White House.

But the current economic situation is somewhat of a fortuitous coincidence for Obama; he has been beating the frustration drum through his whole campaign, and now he has real frustration to use instead of the made-up outrage he was previously peddling. Even when the economy wasn't tanking he was speaking about how bad it was, trying to foster the frustration that is now becoming very real. And the "Hate Bush" crowd has beaten an endless drum for years, trying to make us dissatisfied with a president who has kept us safe from terrorist attack since 9-11, and kept the economy relatively prosperous for most of his presidency.

Of course, we know it wasn't just the Bush Administration's policies that have led to the current crisis. It was the Democrats and people like Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank who worked to maintain the perception that there was nothing wrong with Fannie and Freddy, and who have been forcing banks to loan money to people who couldn't pay it back. It was community organizing groups like Acorn that have been intimidating bankers and trying to embarrass them or harass them into making bad loans. It was the Bush administration that tried to warn the people five years ago and were stopped by Democrats in Congress. You know it. I know. John McCain knows it. Even Saturday Night Live knows it.

So now that the Democrats have wrecked the economy with their socialist policies, they are planning to use this to sweep in a candidate that has been groomed for the position and will institute the greatest social revolution this country has ever seen. The American people are lining up to be flim-flammed by a highly organized campaign that uses the current misfortune to take advantage of us and seize power. If Barack Obama becomes president with a Democratic Congress in both houses, we are heading down the road to less self-reliance, and more government control over every aspect of our lives. The "change" that Obama speaks of is a socialist revolution, the very type of revolution that Saul Alinksy spoke of.

Vote John McCain.
