When I first heard that Saul Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals" - allegedly the playbook used by folks like President Obama and Secretary Clinton - among others - contains a dedication to Lucifer, well I was skeptical. How could the President of the United States embrace something so blatantly dedicated to the Prince of Evil? Well, it didn't take me too long to find the dedication - I'll save you some effort, here it is:
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgement 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 fist radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.” –Saul Alinsky
You can verify this yourself by going to Amazon.com and then use the "Look Inside" option. From there, use the "Search" option and search for the word "kingdom" - there's only one hit, and there you will see it.

Or here is a photocopy of that page:
Now, before I (we) really run with this, I'd like to see where President Obama and/or Secretary Clinton have actually embraced, used or supported Alinsky. Your comments here would be appreciated if you have helpful information.
