Found this in the Houston Chronicle this morning...

Interesting read on BHO and some of his mentors and their methods.

That's kind of spooky. I REALLY hope he isn't the next president.

I haven't read it, but here's my definition of "community organizer."

First, go out and find some grievance, whether real or imagined, then go stir up the locals and get them to attack some large, evil entity. Usually its the government that gets attacked, but sometimes its a corporation, or the school board, or some individual that has gotten cross ways with the organizer, or it may even be something intangible like an old tradition or custom.

There are the good and bad with any organization or leader of an organization. Community organizers transform parking lots into gardens and other things like that. There are some who do good and seek to better their neighborhoods and the lives of their neighbors.
