Conservatives need to understand what “Belt & Suspenders” means

Here is an observation from us, as lifelong Democrats, on one of the ways Democrats beat Republicans so often even though the majority of Americans favor conservative positions on most things.

Time and again, we see conservatives fail to understand the “Belt & Suspenders” approach to politics…or, really, anything that Democrats want to achieve.

There’s some Alinsky wrapped up in this too, which Republicans ignore thinking they are “taking the high road”, whatever that means, while Alinsky saturation tactics are used to overwhelm them and win the day for Democrats.

“Belt & Suspenders” means having several strategies in play, simultaneously, as failsafes to assure victory in the end. This involves never having just one route to a win, but maintaining multiple lines of attack that all have equal chances of winning the day.

Republicans tend to focus on either an up or sideways line of play. Democrats add the diagonal.

With the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, we need you conservatives out there to think of as many SIMULTANEOUS ways to stop this project as possible. Just as Democrats do when they want to stop something.

At the end of the day, we believe some obscure trade union will be the end of this monument to Islamic Conquest. It will be something like the Pipefitters Local, which will vote to not work on the project, after it is successfully pressured by conservatives and patriotic Americans…and lobbied relentlessly by those of us out there who know someone murdered by Muslims on 9/11.

Democrats can approve all the permits they want for this Ground Zero Victory Mosque. Democrats in office, like the two Demcorat Senators representing New York (up for re-election this year), and the entire Democrat New York Congressional delegation, can side with the White House and Nancy Pelosi and call anyone who opposes this abomination all sorts of names. The public should direct its ire at these people, but they are so brain-dead and absorbed in the Cult of Liberalism that they are tone deaf to almost everything the public wants.

The Ground Zero Victory Mosque will be stopped, but not because Democrats in office will come to their senses and sstop it. If you are waiting for Democrats to come to reason on anything, and are holding your breath doing so, please start breathing again. You have been blue in the face for thirty years or so at this point.

“Belt & Suspenders” means running CONCURRENT, COMPLEMENTARY campaigns against Democrats on this issue.

Here are just a few we can think of off the top of our heads. We want you to think of more and add them to this thread.

(1) Target big Democrat donors, and horrify them at the thought they will be identified as supporters of this Ground Zero Victory Mosque because their funds are enabling the mosque-supporters like Pelosi and Obama to remain in office. These big donors do not want their names or businesses hurt by association with this project. So, get them, as private citizens and Democrat financiers, on record against this…then pressure them for an answer on the question of why they are giving so much damn money to people like Pelosi and Obama (and Senators Gillibrand and Schumer), who want to see a monument to Islamic Conquest rise above Ground Zero. Democrats ignore the people, but they bow to donors.

(2) Target all construction companies licensed to operate in New York and make it known to their C-Suite executives that if they agree to build this Ground Zero Victory Mosque that for the rest of your life you will make it a hobby of yours to convice future clients from hiring this firm. Make it known in the construction industry that any company that accepts this project will have the perpetual scorn of the public brought down on it. Think about what Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, and the rest of the Race Industry does to corporations to scare them away from doing things the Race Industry does not want them to do. Those tactics are very effective, and as disgusting as these race hucksters are, you cannot argue with their results.

(3) Pre-emptively start a rebellion with the trade unions and other entities that must be present on a construction site for a building project of this nature to proceed. In Chicago, buildings cannot be built without certain guilds and craftsman reps present on the job. It’s largely a corruption and graft requirement, and we can’t imagine New York not having something like this too, forcing a project to employ all sorts of experts to do certain things that are written into city building codes. Ie, pipefitters from the proper pipefitting union must fit the pipes for the sprinklers. If that does not happen, the Fire Marshal will not allow the building to rise, because it is unsafe. Well, what if the pipefitters in New York who are authorized by the state to work on building projects all refuse to work on this job? What if the Fire Marshal refuses to sign off on the building? There can be no Victory Mosque unless all the various trade unions and guilds allow this building to be constructed.

(4) Send an SOS to organized crime in the New York/New Jersey area. This might sound absurd to you at first, but the crime families in major cities are actually very patriotic people. They are almost always in it for themselves, of course, but they are no fans of Islam. How can the Victory Mosque be built if all the supplies that are needed for the building site mysteriously fall off ships at the docks or are lost on the highway somewhere coming into the city? What about late at night when all of the bulldozers, cranes, and other machines needed suffer all sorts of bizarre mechanical problems. We hear there are a lot of raccoons and squirrels living in lower Manhattan that love messing around with machinery at night. And those machines all need to be certified as safe, for the crews to work, and having machines that constantly break down sure would seem to risk any safety certifications the project would have. The mob in this country might generally do a lot of bad things, but we have a sincere and honest hope the crime families of the tri-state area come together to do whatever they can behind the scenes to stop construction of this Victory Mosque if it would ever get that far.

(5) The gay bar idea adjacent to the mosque is just one concept for making the neighborhood wholly unappealling to the Islamists who want to built this Tower of Triumph over Ground Zero. Pork processing facilities, museusms of pork products through the years, and anything else pig related needs to go in the three block radius circling this Victory Mosque. We’ve suggested commissioning public art, like the fiberglass cows that are dotted around Chicago, but in pig form, to decorate the streets surrounding the Victory Mosque. If the city won’t approve that, then local graffiti artists should be employed by the mob to absolutely cover every available surface in the area with depictions of pigs…and portraits of Muhammad as portrayed by the character Sloth from The Goonies. Every artistic endeavor imaginable should be used to make this would-be triumphant Victory Mosque into an laughstock. Do not allow these Muslims to use this Victory Mosque as a propaganda and recruiting tool overseas. Let there be no angle in which it can be photographed without there being a giant pig sculpture or deformed depiction of Muhammad spoiling that shot.

Resist this project with everything that you have, in every creative angle you can think of.

Just like leaving the house with a belt, suspenders, an extra belt, packing tape, chains, rope, bubble gum (bacon flavored, of course), more suspenders, and a giant bunch of balloons to hold your pants up, approach the defeat of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque project with absolutely everything you can think of, simultaneously, so the Muslims and DemoThreats pushing this have 1,700 fronts to battle on.

We guarantee the Left knows how to dish stuff like this out, but has absolutely no experience defending against it because Republicans and conservatives at large have never turned these tactics against them.

If not now, with so much at stake, WHEN will conservatives coast to coast wake up and wise up?

Dems also win because they own TV and all the Networks support Obama. ALL of them including Fox Saudia. See Rush’s site where Fox was saying Obama is not a muslim.

Drooling idiots who watch TV keep the Democrats in power. Idiots trading liberty for a TV clicker. Morons.

I am not a fan of the Mafia but if they had not been weakened - this mosque would NEVER get off the ground. I love Reagan but his helping the muslims against the Soviets was a huge mistake. He should have helped just a little a very very little.

This is a really good column.

I would add that YouTube, Facebook, email, and Tweeter(?) are very popular media for cleverly, humorously, getting a point across to the clueless morons who decide so many elections. It’s the internet age, and the dinosaur Democrat newsrooms of the newspapers and networks are on their last legs (sheesh, will they just die already?), so my advice is to use the internet for all it’s worth. Spare nothing.

Don't forget that the Democrats are courting one of their newest voting blocks - the Islamic immigrant vote. The Dems are controlling our immigration to suit their political power, don't think for a moment that it is evenhanded and first come first serve. The Democrats play favorites.

I watched Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan -(where else!) connive to diminish the crime of jihadist Major Hassan. Michigan has one of the biggest Islamic populations in this country. Even the Jewish politicians like Levin and New York's mayor Bloomberg are kissing up to the Muslims. Politics before country or religion.

At the end of the day, we believe some obscure trade union will be the end of this monument to Islamic Conquest. It will be something like the Pipefitters Local, which will vote to not work on the project, after it is successfully pressured by conservatives and patriotic Americans... and lobbied relentlessly by those of us out there who know someone murdered by Muslims on 9/11."

If I were a UA Local 1 brother, I'd be pretty offended after reading that paragraph.

My husband is union (don’t ask, it’s a huge fight) but he did give me some great ideas to use against them to keep them from building on this site.

His first idea is to get together with other interested groups and raise money to take a full page ad out in the NY Post, NY Times and USA Today calling out the unions and locals in Manhattan, demanding that they do not work on the project. We should include NYPD and NYFD Unions in that as well.

He says while it won’t make a bit of difference to union leadership who can be bought off with the Dems throwing money at them, it WILL make a huge difference to the Union members. If they say they will not work on the project that will make a huge difference.

His other idea was to target companies that plan on building in Manhattan and let them know if they build using the Unions that are working on the Mosque, we will immediately begin full boycotts, and nationwide protests against them. Since you can’t build anything in NY without a union, the companies will either have to put pressure on them to not work on the mosque or not build.

Basically, it’s time to get nasty....

He says while it won’t make a bit of difference to union leadership who can be bought off with the Dems throwing money at them, it WILL make a huge difference to the Union members.

Maybe, one day, Union members will open up their eyes and learn how to vote properly for their own leadership?

For the most part union members are democrats. Some unions are starting to see their biggest fear, Republican/conservative members and they hate it. It’s showing up more with unions that have high-tech workers - nuclear, electrical, engineering etc etc. Knowing the history of unions there’s more of a chance the members will vote conservative in governmental elections and for the person who can deliver to them the greatest benefits for union representation.

Love the HillBuzzBoyz. I happily made a donation to them. Their insights are so spot on and I believe its true that conservative types just aren’t wired, by and large, to come up with devious plans. We’re more of a straight from point A to point B.
