The Manchurian President – my book club choice

As David Horowitz emphasizes, citing an SDS radical who once wrote, “the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”  In other words, the cause – whether inner city blacks or women – is never the real cause, but only an ocassion to advance the real cause which is the culmination of power to make the revolution. That was the all consuming focus of Alinsky and his radicals.”

from The Manchurian President by Aaron Klein

In other words, the ends justify the means. Use whatever means, whatever useful idiot, use any group who feels victimized, to obtain the ends (goals) which is power and control.

Remember Obama’s words during the campaign: “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for”? He  wasn’t speaking to the adoring crowd, those with tear streaked faces hanging on his every word. He was speaking to the elite progressives, his real people, the small circle of academics and ideologues, the 60’s radicals who had come of age and wrested the ultimate power.

The progressives had accomplished what they had always said they would: bore from within. And now, as Horowitz says in Klein’s book, like termites, they are eating the very foundation of this nation.
