    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.

    "Reville for Radicals" and "Rules for Radicals" by Alinsky are great books. He wrote of shareholder activism years ago.
