1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
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.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
11. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
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
Crotch Barnicle isn’t worth spending two seconds on. Moronic, hateful drivel.
This drivel is all the Left has because, “the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.”
They cannot argue or debate facts when they’re working to deconstruct the United States.
People like me don’t hate everything, but we surely hate a lying PoS like Mike Barnacle.
I am angry -- and I make no apologies about it.
Barnicle channels John Kerry/BarackObama.
Did Mikey PLAGARIZE THIS also??
The left is sore afraid of Ted Cruz.
Mike Barnicle is one.
The leftists brain does not make synaptic connections between Iranian exportation of terror and gaining nuclear weapons. He thinks that Cruz and Walker are war mongers? He should try on an Iranian Mullah with a nuclear cap in his back pocket.
Barnicle is not so much a has-been as he is a never-was.
Mike Barnacle.
Why do so many Republicans seem so angry all the time at so much around us?
Seriously? Are you just a liar or just that ignorant. Do you think it was republicans rioting in the streets in ferguson all those weeks? Do you think it is republicans going nuts of a law to protect religious freedom and threatening everything from economic destruction to death. Dude you need to buy a clue. The left is constantly angry. Constantly bitching and or whining about one thing or the other.
one of the Mensa members who told George W. Bush that it would be swell to go to war in Iraq. Twelve years later things are really going well there
Well actually things were going pretty weel there under George Bush. Then along came Obama. Like everything else that he touches goes to hell so did Iraq..
but when GWB was predident the lunatic left used to ride around with bumper sticker which read “IF YOU’RE NOT OUTRAGED YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!”
liberalism thy name is hypocrisy...
I guess Barnicle never visits leftist internet forums. If he did, he’d read an ocean-sized amount of hateful comments directed at conservatives by their lib/leftist fellow countrymen.
I didn't know I was mentally ill, but I confess I support Ted Cruz.
Isn't mike barnicle the boston reporter that got fired because he was STEALING articles from others and claiming them as his own.
Why would I care what a proven thief, cheat and liar writes, when it may not even be his own work?
Barnacle is such a jerk that even über liberal colleagues at the Boston Globe cheered the announcement in 1998 of his firing for plagiarism and lying...
If it wasn’t for hate and anger Marxists wouldn’t have anything to offer.
Pray America is waking
Lol...angry?!? Anyone who listens to Ted Cruz hears a reasonable, calm explanation of his views blended into some of the most inspiring expressions of love for country that we’ve heard since the great president Reagan.
And this scares them badly...not a clean pair of underwear in the lot.
Does anyone remember Rush Limbaugh’s Ken Starr vs James Carville debate skits from the late 1990s?
Same sort of projection that Limbaugh satirized is happening here.
