A question for you Trump supporters: Do you agree with Marie? Is it okay for your candidate to employ Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"? Does her contention that "WE have to adopt them" comfort you?
Hell Yes. Adopt them, use them, exceed them, do whatever it takes to win.
Comfort? Who's looking for comfort? We don't need politicians to give us comfort! We all have God or our own religions for that. Or family. Or booze. Or whatever gets you through the night.
Do you even know anything about Alinsky, or just that he was one of the bad guys we despise? The idiot was not even remotely intelligent, and his "rules" were written for dopey low-IQ baby boomers 1/3 his age who he apparently envied around Chicago. A classic over-rated character and a giant among fellow dwarfs, who by comparison made him look like some kind of authority. In the real world he was insignificant.
His rules are nothing more bite-sizes plagiarized restatements of his heroes such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, and too many others to list. He was accurate only about the obvious, and that is that we can easily be threatened into submission. And you know why? He anticipated those on our side who like you apparently, insist on appealing to our own morality to keep above the fray and not stoop to their level. That is a recipe for disaster.
So enough with the gentlemanly, Queensberry rules and turn the other cheek dogma. What is needed in war is a lot less new testament and a whole lot more old testament. If you turn your back or cheek or anything else for that matter to the enemy, then only one thing should be expected to happen ...
