<p>In a recent newsletter, the National Education Association listed Saul Alinsky&#8217;s book, <a class="zem_slink" title="Rules for Radicals" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radicals-Saul-Alinsky/dp/0679721134%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dthebiblebelie-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0679721134">Rules for Radicals</a>, as recommended reading, especially for those who want to make a difference The reviewer goes on and on about what a great man Alinsky was.</p>
<p>Did Alinsky make a difference? Sure he did, but it was a negative and destructive one. He made a huge contribution to the destruction of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h">United States of America</a> through this book. Alinsky&#8217;s followers have used his principles to advance their dream of an Atheist and Marxist America.</p>
<p>If you have a copy of it, take a look at the dedication page. Or, just <a class="zem_slink" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com">Google</a> it like I did.  You will see that Alinsky actually dedicated his book to the devil:</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the <a class="zem_slink" title="State religion" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_religion">establishment</a> and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—<a class="zem_slink" title="Lucifer" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer">Lucifer</a>.” –<a class="zem_slink" title="Saul Alinsky" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky">Saul Alinsky</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">When I first saw this, I was horrified. But at least, he came right on out with it. This a handbook for people who hate <a class="zem_slink" title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a>, hate Christianity, and hate America.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s too bad that Saul Alinsky never read the Bible or believed it. He would have known about Lucifer&#8217;s ultimate fate, along with everyone who is deceived by him and worships him. They&#8217;re all going to be cast into the <a class="zem_slink" title="Lake of Fire" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_of_Fire">Lake of Fire</a>, which is the second death.<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of <a class="zem_slink" title="Fire and brimstone" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_and_brimstone">fire and brimstone</a>, where the beast and the <a class="zem_slink" title="False prophet" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_prophet">false prophet</a> are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. </strong>Revelation 20:10</p>
<p>Schoolteachers can&#8217;t have a copy of the Bible on their desk, or even read it on their lunch break. But this anti-<a class="zem_slink" title="Christian" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian">Christian</a> and anti-American book is recommended reading for <a class="zem_slink" title="Teacher" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teacher">teachers</a>! And it&#8217;s dedicated to the devil! They can&#8217;t teach the <a class="zem_slink" title="Ten Commandments" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments">Ten Commandments</a>, because they are from the Bible. But the <a class="zem_slink" title="National Education Association" rel="homepage" href="http://www.nea.org/">NEA</a> wants their teachers to read Saul Alinsky&#8217;s Rules for Radicals.</p>
<p>Okay, so now I get it. Secularism, <a class="zem_slink" title="Marxism" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism">Marxism</a>, Atheism, that is the official state religion. It really doesn&#8217;t have a name. It&#8217;s a coalition of everything that opposes <a class="zem_slink" title="Christianity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity">Christianity</a>, and America. And Rules for Radicals is their Bible. But what are they doing?</p>
<p>These are not nice people. They&#8217;re wicked evil men who want to enslave you and your children. They&#8217;re completely serious about the &#8220;fundamental transformation of America.&#8221; They want to transform America into a Socialist state.</p>
<p>They know that Capitalism produces prosperity and Socialism produces poverty. They just want all of us to live in poverty.</p>
<p>Because poverty-stricken people are easy to manipulate. You can buy them for a piece of bread. That&#8217;s why they want to do away with Capitalism.</p>
<p>They  want to confiscate everything we&#8217;ve got.  So they can make slaves of us all.</p>

<p>When the Pilgrims stepped off the Mayflower, they brought the <a class="zem_slink" title="Bible" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible">Bible</a> with them. The reason they endured great hardships and came to America was this: They wanted their children to live in a society that was governed by Biblical principles. They fulfilled that dream. Their descendents, The Founding Fathers, gave us a nation where we are still free to <a class="zem_slink" title="Government" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government">govern</a> ourselves.</p>
<p>Throughout history, our leaders warned us repeatedly that &#8220;Those people who will not be governed by <a class="zem_slink" title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a> will be ruled by tyrants.&#8221; (Wm Penn) &#8220;It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.&#8221;(<a class="zem_slink" title="Patrick Henry" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Henry">Patrick Henry</a>) &#8220;You can&#8217;t enslave a Bible-reading people.&#8221; (<a class="zem_slink" title="Horace Greeley" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Greeley">Horace Greeley</a>) And the Bible was America&#8217;s textbook for the first three hundred and fifty years of our existence.</p>
<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Noah Webster" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Webster">Noah Webster</a> was the greatest American educator who ever lived. Look at what he wrote in his <a class="zem_slink" title="Public school (government funded)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_school_%28government_funded%29">public school</a> textbook, &#8220;History of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h">United States</a>&#8221; in 1832: <strong>&#8220;The religion which has introduced <a class="zem_slink" title="Civil liberties" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_liberties">civil liberty</a> is the religion of Christ and his apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine <a class="zem_slink" title="Christianity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity">Christianity</a>, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>He was writing to school children. He gave them the following advice, and man, oh man, does this ever apply to this today!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The Progressives measure our progress in how far we&#8217;ve departed from the teachings of the Bible. Look how far we&#8217;ve come in only fifty years!</p>
<p>We were naive enough to let the Progressives remove the Bible from our society. They knew they had to get those Bibles away from us before they could enslave us. They tell us there&#8217;s no such thing as truth, or liberty that comes from God. They want their government to be our god, and they want to make slaves of us all.</p>
<p>Why are they so afraid of the Bible? What&#8217;s in there that&#8217;s so dangerous, and so powerful?</p>
<p>It is the truth. The truth is their enemy. They can&#8217;t stand it, and they can&#8217;t stand up to it. To them it&#8217;s like Kryptonite to Superman.</p>

<p>According to a Rasmussen poll, 63% percent of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h">American</a> people believe that the <a class="zem_slink" title="Bible" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible">Bible</a> is the word of <a class="zem_slink" title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a>.</p>
<p>What about you?  Are you with us on that, or not?</p>
<p>The <a class="zem_slink" title="Apostle (Christian)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostle_%28Christian%29">Apostles</a> <a title="Saint Peter" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Peter">Peter</a> and <a title="John Povall" rel="facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1282527983">John</a> participated in Jesus&#8217; earthly ministry. They were there when he fulfilled all of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Messiah" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah">Messianic prophecies</a>.  They were there when he walked on water, and when he fed the five thousand. They were there when he was crucified and they were there when he was raised from the dead. They knew from their own experience that Jesus is Lord and that the Bible is the word of God. They are pretty credible witnesses. Look at what they said:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our <a class="zem_slink" title="Jesus" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus">Lord Jesus Christ</a>, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We have also a <a class="zem_slink" title="Second anointing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_anointing">more sure word of prophecy</a>; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, than no <a class="zem_slink" title="Prophecy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy">prophecy</a> of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the <a class="zem_slink" title="Holy Spirit" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Spirit">Holy Ghost</a>.&#8221;   <a class="zem_slink" title="Second Epistle of Peter" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Epistle_of_Peter">2 Peter</a> 1:16-21</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.&#8221;  <a class="zem_slink" title="First Epistle of John" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Epistle_of_John">1 John</a> 5:9-10</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The <a class="zem_slink" title="Paul of Tarsus" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_of_Tarsus">Apostle Paul</a> was an expert on the Holy Scriptures. He stopped persecuting <a class="zem_slink" title="Christian" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian">Christians</a> and became one himself after his encounter with the risen Lord. He knew from experience that the Bible is the word of God. This is what he said about the Bible:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;All scripture is given by inspiration of <a title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a>, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.&#8221; <a title="Second Epistle to Timothy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Epistle_to_Timothy"> 2 Timothy</a> 3:16</strong></p>
<p>The Bible is not any man&#8217;s opinion, or philosophy. It is God&#8217;s testimony about his Son, <a title="Jesus" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus">Jesus Christ</a>. It&#8217;s all true. It is essential information and you need it to live. Jesus said, <strong>&#8220;Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word</strong> <strong>that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.&#8221; Matthew 4:4</strong></p>

<p>Noah Webster was a brilliant man. He is best known for his dictionary, <a class="zem_slink" title="Webster's Dictionary" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster%27s_Dictionary">Webster&#8217;s</a> American Dictionary of the <a class="zem_slink" title="English language" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language">English Language</a>, 1828 Edition, which is still in use today. He created a textbook nicknamed the &#8220;Blue-Backed Speller.&#8221; It was the most widely <a class="zem_slink" title="Textbook" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textbook">used textbook</a> in America for a hundred years.</p>
<p>Clearly, Webster was an expert on educating children, and this is what he said about the <a class="zem_slink" title="Bible" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible">Bible</a>.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in <a class="zem_slink" title="Government" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government">government</a> as well as in all social transactions. . . .&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, <a class="zem_slink" title="Slavery" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery">slavery</a>, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible. . . .&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Noah Webster gave us the following advice concerning our responsibility as citizens.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that <a class="zem_slink" title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a> commands you to choose for rulers, &#8220;just men who will rule in the fear of God.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>The preservation of [our] government depends on the faithful discharge of this Duty; if the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; <a class="zem_slink" title="Law" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law">laws</a> will be made, not for the <a class="zem_slink" title="Public good" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good">public good</a> so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If [our] government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine Commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the Laws.&#8221; (History of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h">United States</a> by Noah Webster)</strong></p>
