Figures.
Michelle Obama quotes lines some radicalFar 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 last night’s 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.“

It’s just a guess but maybe she heard it at church?
UPDATE: Maybe it wasn’t anti-semite Wright… Maybe it was Barack who came up with the Alinsky quotes.
It appears Barack Obama was hired by an Alinsky protege back in his days as a community organizer.
Figures.
wow. that’s a stretch.
Democratic voters are easy to fool they believe in global warming they are the hypnotized masses. Look at Darral Hanna she even looked hypnotized. I wonder how she arrived at the convention in a jet fueled by oil on tires made out of oil on a runway made out of oil products. Yet the big lanky dumb blonde knows none of what makes the world run.
What’s the deal with this weblog??? If you Google “world as it is”, you get FOUR MILLION HITS!!!
I don’t think you’ve really narrowed down the exact source with a lot of credibility.
I guess McCain supporters do scholarly work and, if it all turns out to be wrong, they just say ‘I was just kidding!’
If you do that in the business world, eventually you’ll end up in prison.
