Alinsky’s RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Yup, the deplorable comment is classic Alinsky. Won't work this time Hillary. It's only going to help Trump. Expect more of these ridicule zingers from Hillary. It's all she has. Her 20% base will love it but the rest of America will continue to be offended and vote Trump.

Maybe a good time for an Alinsky review. Alinsky’s 12 rules for upheaval:

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”

RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Of these, Rules 4, 5, 8, and 12 have been used to greatest effect by the Left. In their war against the Constitution and traditional America, they have assailed, in turn, most of the great foundations of our society.

The left only destroys. .

Fight On America! This is it!

If that was done within a small business and or Corp Org, it would crumble from within. I don't have time, but we need a Zig Ziglar/Dale Carnegie type 12 point rebuttal.

It is not for me know the eternal fate of Alinsky, but given what he added to humanity, can I at least ponder it given what he had wrought? He left us nothing good.....

For 7 years, I’ve been saying that these rules can work for us too. They are fighting a barroom brawl and, until Trump came along, our side was expecting a fair fight with no biting, gouging, or hitting below the belt.

THEY are the establishment now. They occupy academia, media, board rooms, and government (and they control the leadership of both parties). WE need to think like radicals.

When I took that “How To Be Deplorable” class I thought ‘well, I just need the extra credit, I’ll never use that.’ But hey, now I can!

In the long term it would suffer. In the short term it would threaten to swallow all else up.

The best weapon in the face of something like this is faith and patience. God can and will cause it all to dissolve into the puddle of obvious hell that it is, and preserve us from it if we do not permit ourselves to do so along with it.
