Michelle Obama's DNC Speech

Michelle Obama quotes lines some radical Far Left book in her DNC Convention speech.

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 her 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."
Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals:


"The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."

My father just ordered Saul Alinsky's book. He told me to read it and read it carefully, and in other words, to "know thy enemy". To know their tactics, strategies, terms, etc. I knew it was pretty crazy when S.A. had this nice little speech for none other than Lucifer in the front of the book..I read that part and thought, "wow, they weren't kidding with this." Crazy stuff. I still have to read it though.
