Lot of moral preening and leftist activities to continue to make conservatives fearful or embarrassed to support the causes they believe in, not because there is a problem with the ideas and causes, but because conservatives are fearful of physical harm or property damage.
This needs to stop and conservatives need to seize the narrative, they way that Trump did throughout the pre-election cycle.
For example Barney Frank ( and why is he still above ground with a microphone?) just claimed that Trump thought that Scalia hated Fag-Burners instead of Flag-Burners. When we know that neither conservative hates either of them.
But there was a whine about "speaking ill of the dead" instead of calling this walking piece of sh** out on his discussing and despicable statement. Demands for apologies, and social pariah-dom for him and anyone who defends or associates with him.
All Alinsky tactics that need to be turned on the scum out there who prevent conservatives from having a legitimate voice.
So what are we going to do about it?
Saul Alinsky Rules from Rules for Radicals
Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:
1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”
3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.”
4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:
1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”
2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”
3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”
4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”
5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”
6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”
7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”
8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”
9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”
10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”
11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”
Looks like Alinsky’s rules did not exactly achieve any goals this election.
I had an entrenched biome in my back yard once. It took a lot of 2-4D, 2-4-5-T and a couple of sticks of dynamite to get rid of it completely.
Their chickens have come home to roost.
Trump and the American people are going to demonstrate the vacuousness of their religion.
I bet Alinsky’s tombstone is quite yellowed by now, what with the legions of people who have peed on it.
Conservatives apparently have learned little more from Trump’s election than Libs have, which is,
THIS.DOESN’T.APPLY.TO.TRUMP.
It doesn’t apply to Trump because he flat refuses to play their game. So they cannot “marginalize” him because he ignores them and continues with his agenda.
Those tactics should be applied to the US enemedia without mercy.
