BHO following template of radical moral busybody Saul Alinsky

As Melanie Phillips points out in her highly informative piece at The Spectator, Barack Obama's use of community organization follows to the letter the template for social revolution laid down by Saul Alinsky, the Marxist ideologue and activist who set out in his book Rules for Radicals how capitalism would be overthrown by the mobilisation of the masses and the whipping up of their discontent, and that Obama has now taken this to a dangerous level:
I have written before - here and here -- about the way in which the First Community Organiser was assembling a permanent force from among the American public to act as a potential means of subverting the American Constitution. As I wrote here, straight after he was elected President Obama launched Organising for America, a formal infrastructure of activism built upon his campaign's extensive database of supporters. This was ostensibly all about encouraging the public to tell Obama about the issues that concerned them. I wrote then:
But as I pointed out here, such use of community organisation also follows to the letter the template for social revolution laid down by Saul Alinsky, the Marxist ideologue and activist who set out in his book Rules for Radicals how capitalism would be overthrown by the mobilisation of the masses and the whipping up of their discontent. The strategy revolved around creating apparently moderate local organisations that would be manipulated by community organisers -- effectively deniable political agitators -- to foment grievance and dissent. Alinsky's thinking permeates ACORN and other community groups that in the past were associated with or funded by Obama, and which push an agenda that is as coercive and corrupt as it is seditious. America's First Community Organiser promised ACORN during his campaign that within his first 100 days in office he would invite them in to discuss how they could help him change America.
It seemed to me that such a street-force could be used to undermine the established constitutional order -- by creating pressure upon Congress, for example. And now, Organising for America has sent people out onto the streets as cheerleaders for Obama's policies, as reported here in Birmingham, Alabama:
Volunteers fanned out across the Birmingham area and Alabama Saturday to pump up enthusiasm for President Barack Obama's budget proposal in much the same way they did to win over voters during the presidential campaign. About 30 volunteers in Birmingham canvassed shopping areas and other high-traffic locations to talk about the need for health care reform, an education overhaul and environmentally friendly energy development.
So Obama's not just governing but he's still campaigning. Against whom? Can only be Congress and other constitutional elements supposed to act as checks and balances on the Presidency, against which Obama is seeking to recruit the pressure-power of millions of people.
There was also his deeply troubling suggestion during his presidential campaign - which received virtually no attention - of creating a civilian national security force that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force, although he subsequently refused to elaborate upon this distinctly chilling suggestion (and indeed, according to this report these remarks actually vanished from the published transcript of Obama's speech).
A few days ago, however, the House of Representatives passed the Orwellian-sounding 'Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act' which provides for the introduction of mandatory national service (unspecified) for all young people. As Rick Moran noted on
