    Default Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals,'

    According to Boone, Obama is using "Rules for Radicals" as his playbook. Actually, it looks a lot like Fox News' playbook. Rule #2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals

    This is all sillyness.

    Why would anyone care what Pat Boone thinks? Has he any particular expertise or competence in matters political?

    I can't see why anyone would care what he thinks, unless they just liked him, or his views, or thought he was dreamy back in the day.

    As to the original question, I bet he has some Marxist leanings, but I think he would be restricted in what he can and cannot do, as the POTUS.

    If actions speak louder than words, then I hope I never know if he is a true believer in the political, economic, and social theory's of Karl Marx.

    I don't believe in the inevitability of socialism or communism.

    Pat Boone, Hahaha

    He speaks.

    Life goes on.

    Hey Slap:

    In the responses so far, Alinsky's rules 5 and 13 are covered. Interesting.

    Default Apparently,

    I am just a few rules away from a position as a community organizer.

    Next step, Oval Office.

    In all fairness to Mr. Boone, no one cares what I say either. I wonder. If the President publicly declared himself an avowed Marxist, what would change?

    Yes, and I wonder how many people now that the American Communist party was started in 1919 in................Chicago.

    Default Same ole same ole

    I don't understand why anyone even pays attention to CPAC. They are like the Moral Majority - a bunch of elitists who think they know better than everyone else who are looking to create a caste society with their membership being the oligarchical leadership. They are the Moral Majority in expensive suits.

    Default A Chicago Doubleheader

    For The Communist Labor Party of America (CLP), "Founding Convention" -- Chicago, IL -- Aug. 31 - Sept. 5, 1919;



    And for The (old) Communist Party of America (CPA), "Founding Convention" -- Chicago, IL -- Sept. 1 - 7, 1919;



    But, alas, Chicago was abandoned by the Comintern for the eastern shore of Lake Michigan to create The United Communist Party of America (UCP), "Joint Unity Convention" -- Bridgman, MI -- May 26 - 31, 1920;



    But wait, the story goes on and on, including even Woodstock ("Joint Unity Convention" -- near Woodstock, NY -- May 15 - 28, 1921), where a very young Pat Boone was warmup for Pete Seeger.

    And so it went - ref. The Communist Party of America (1919-1946) - Downloadable Documents.

    Regards
