We were taught by very GOOD teachers(rats)!!
We’ve got advantages the left has never had. We don’t have much in the way of leadership which means no one to target. We self organize and don’t rely on tax dollars to fund ourselves.
First half of the article is good. The rest is garbage.
The one point it makes is clear. What is good for the Goose, is good for the Gander. If Obama says get in their face, then get in THIER face.
There are More of us, than there are them.
As we say in the Navy, Get hot.
About time the conservatives went to the left hook.
Yup...and it’s time to abort ACORN and other commie programs before they are born into another program.
They do not understand we are mocking them!!??

followed by a left overhand and then a max power left upper cut square on the jaw.
Senators are elected unless they resigned or were booted from office between elections.
Exactly my point.
Look folks, we are conservatives. WE'RE the ones who are supposed to have facts and logic and reason and common sense. My concern is that in the process of "using the liberal playbook" that many conservatives are going to confuse what works (subverting slogans, popular agitation) with what doesn't (XXXX=Hitler signs, shouting down, violence). If we stick to making our case forecefully and subverting leftist paradigms, then we'll be A-OK. If we go Code Pink, we'll lose the goodwill we're generating.
See my #31.
And if our founding fathers weren’t radical, then nobody ever has been.
Radicalism that combines sound intellectual reasoning, a willingness to use violent and heroic means and which respects the rights of man is in our very political DNA as Americans.
I'm one of those who posts a lot of silly pictures on FR but I agree with you completely on this and feel that it is way too easy to overdo it on the signs carried in public.
Verifiable facts, politeness and massive, peaceful crowds are what we need to win this one. We need to be firm and dedicated.
Let’s make it unfair and ramp it up by using John Boyd’s OODA Loop. Make them totally unsure of what we’ll do next. Get inside their decision loop. Act before they can respond to our last act, and have our next act ready to go.The kids with the Acorn vids and Andy Breitbart are on that page. Alinsky may be a good start. It may win community battles. John Boyd wins wars.
For far too long the Left has been using an arsenal of tactics while the Conservatives consigned themselves to spitballs.
The fact are on our side, and if the tactics work - let’s use them.
It’s about fricken time we started playing hardball.
Wish our side would play hardball on the abortion issue.
“We’re on the right track. As long as we stick to verifiable facts we’re in good shape.”
“When the legend is better than the fact, print the legend.” - the Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.
Did the left care that Robert Bork was none of those things Dead Ted labled him as? Does the left care that people think that Sarah Palin said that she could see Russia from her house? Bottom line - rumor and urban legend can be effective weapons, don’t leave them in our holster.
Do you think they could still win by frauds and illegals?
He further goes on to explain that the leftward tilt of the examples used on his book were just due to the time at which the book was authored (i.e. Castro, Che, etc).
