What Makes Hillary Run?

Who is Hillary and what makes Hillary run? Right now she is anything you want her to be. She is a politician in training. This could be said of most of her adult life.
She is often described as having been a "Goldwater Girl" at one time. It seems that when she went off to college she became exposed to the leftwing professors that permeate these institutions. Parents sacrifice almost everything to send their kids to college, thinking higher education will open doors for success. Doors get opened, but not the ones most parents envision. After sacrificing to the point of mortgaging their homes, in some cases, parents are presented with kids who profess a hatred of the very system that created the money for their education.
However, even before Hillary reached college she was mentored by Saul Alinsky, who she reportedly met through a church group. Her senior thesis at Wellesley was about Alinsky and his methods. Those methods were to infiltrate different groups to influence them. It was not to be a quick revolution, but one of patience, always keeping one´s eyes on the prize.
Saul Alinsky was a powerful organizer, using whatever group he could find to gain influence. He used the guilt felt by many left-leaning wealthy elites to further his own goals.
Alinsky dedicated his books to Lucifer, the first rebel, according to him. He instilled his method of influencing society into several groups and their offshoots, among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now", or ACORN. ACORN establishes itself in a community and finds some issue that is stirring up people. It could be a new tax or the malfeasance of office of someone in government. Meetings are publicized and held. The meetings are set up to let the people think that they are giving input which will be used to correct the problem. Sometimes an effort is made to do this. However, if the activity is not successful, ACORN still has a group that trusts its good intentions. Also, at the meetings people are asked to sign in and to become members of ACORN. Therefore, a list of people is available that ACORN can call on to become active on a certain issue.
ACORN has been under investigation in several states, among them Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio, for fraud due to its efforts in signing up voters. This is a favorite activity for ACORN.
Although Alilnsky tried to recruit Hillary as a community organizer, she chose to attend Yale Law School. Nonetheless, she seems to have absorbed his methods. In his book, "Reveille for Radicals", Alinsky states: "An organizer working for change...does not have a fixed truth - truth to him is relative and changing"...(pages 10-11).
Most recently Hillary claimed to have been under attack on a visit to Bosnia, where she and Chelsea had to duck their heads and run for cover because of sniper fire, and that a ceremony planned for them had to be cancelled. Not true, not even close. Hillary claims she misspoke. More likely she was just following Alinsky´s method. That method also included hiding one´s radicalism and infiltrating the system from within.
There is no shame evidenced by Hillary for telling this naked lie. The only shame is getting caught because, according to her mentor, Alinsky, for someone working for change, truth to him/her is "relative and changing".
Alinsky´s efforts paid off well when it came to influencing the Catholic Church´s left leaning clergy. Every year in November the Catholic Church conducts a drive for its Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The average person in the pew is led to believe it is to "feed the hungry, clothe the naked, etc." Instead, most of the funds collected go to organized pressure groups who agitate for what could be called the "social gospel". ACORN has been the recipient of some of the largest grants of money from CCHD.
Barack Obama was trained by the Industrial Areas Foundation, another group influenced by Saul Alinsky. He was also trained in the Alinsky method and worked with ACORN.
David Schippers, Chief Investigative Counsel for the Clinton impeachment, wrote a book titled "Sell Out". While investigating possible reasons for impeachment, Schippers, a lifelong Democrat, came across a reason he hadn´t anticipated, the Clinton-led practice of fraudulently signing up potential voters. By the time Schippers and his crew came to the subject, the General Accounting Office and congressional committees had indicated that Clinton´s White House had used the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to further its political agenda.
During the 1996 presidential campaign the White House pressured the INS to expedite its "Citizenship USA" program. Pressure was also applied to the various government agencies that were involved in investigating and passing on new citizens. Because of hurry-up directives, shortcuts were taken in the process that usually takes months to complete. One of the most important safeguards, the checking of fingerprints, was accelerated. Schippers concluded:
"What the United States got is undeniable"...and lists "more than 75,000 new citizens who had arrest records when they applied, an additional 115,000 citizens whose fingerprints were unclassifiable for various technical reasons and were never resubmitted, and another 61,000 people who were given citizenship with no fingerprints at all".
One of the questionable groups that aided and abetted the Democrat push to sign up voters is ACORN. Another politically active group that was used to shove the applications through in 1996 was the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), founded by Saul Alinsky.
The Industrial Areas Foundation website describes itself: "About IAF - Who -
The leaders and organizers of the Industrial Areas Foundation build organizations whose primary purpose is power - the ability to act - and whose chief product is social change……"
According to Alinsky: "In politics, an organized minority is a political majority." He also taught that the organizer needs to appear to be moral because: "All effective action requires the passport of morality."
Alinsky provided several rules of his ethics of means and ends. Among them:
"The third rule of the ethics of means and ends is that in war the ends justifies almost any means."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it"
"There can be no such thing as a successful traitor, for if one succeeds, he becomes a founding father."
He admired Machiavelli and purported to improve on his tactics:
"The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-nots on how to take it away."
These are the tactics of Hillary´s mentor. This is the morality taught to her when she was at a vulnerable age. Her actions since solidify what Saul Alinsky taught her.
Hillary learned Alinsky´s lessons and methods well. She is a political chameleon, adapting to whatever situation confronts her, and using it to her best advantage.
This is what motivates Hillary. This is what makes Hillary run.
