Rules for Radicals By Saul Alinsky - 1971 Hillary Clinton's 1969 Political Science Thesis ("There is Only the Fight") refers to an earlier version of Alinsky’s training manual. "In 1946,” she wrote, "Alinsky's first book, Reveille for Radicals, was published." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyLittleMan 5 Posted June 3, 2020 I came across a great quote in a stock market wrap-up email that hit my inbox recently.... "The big market news today was political which sucks for everyone except politicians who sprinkle conflict on their breakfast flakes and news media animals who pour it in their vodka cocktails for lunch. No offense intended if one or both of you are reading. I'm sure you're fine people and the exceptions proving the rule." Sorry, Alinsky, but I believe the reporter was referring to you.
