RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

This is the tactic that we MUST employ when we take the reigns of power.

The Left screams bloody murder at the drop of a hat, so if we're going to take abuse for minor reforms, we might as well push for wholesale reform. There is an upper limit to complaining, and the Left is always at that limit.
