Why do we have circular firing squads?
Because the perfect can be the enemy of the good.
A good question . . . provided it isn't being posed as a rhetorical one.
Because the war mongers like Marcus want to war monger and anyone who gets in their way needs to be slandered. It’s their way of getting power and money and spreading their putrid hate of civilization.
Because conservatives are stupid.
Not the way leftists think we are stupid
But in our own special way.
That is why Alinsky’s rules live on. He could see how to destroy us.
Saul Alinsky’s 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.”
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.’”
I think if conservatives don’t press this point all week long that the man must resign, over and over and over, we are losers.
What happened here is that conservatives are being taught a lesson that they are less than human and deserve contempt. And leftists are being given training lessons on how to humiliate conservatives and if we let this happen they will be given a pass. This will be standard operating procedure.
Are there bigger battles? Yes.
But the Broken Window Theory works here. Stop letting this happen OR no conservative is safe.

Hexagon firing squads - or even polygons - are more difficult without a strong background in geometry. Good luck finding that!
