[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Oh, right. I keep forgetting. We're supposed to be “above them.” We're supposed to be classy, and show decorum and respect...while they are spitting in our faces, stealing our signs, shouting their invectives from 6 inches away, lying, lying, lying, protesting, demonstrating, stealing, using thug politics.

Right. I keep forgetting. We don't play by their rules because we're above that.

I guess that's why we're doing so well at this point.

Wrong. We need to read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and adopt their tactics. Only by doing so will they abandon that rule book and return to civility. Until then, expect their vitriol to increase and for conservatives and Republicans to be kicked in the crotch and pi&&ed on even more.

You go ahead though, and play nice. The rest of us will get down and dirty.

The end NEVER justifies the means. You don’t support sound MORAL policies with dirty tactics.

Taking the high road does not mean being a doormat either. There is a distinction.

We need to read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and adopt their tactics.

I agree that there's certain organizational tactics that are universal and work for all ideologies, but we need to be careful of who we throw in with and not to make a pact with the devil in order to regain political power. IMO, Alinsky's philophy is one we should be knowledgeable about but those of us with a sense of Christian morality should not adopt those tactics. Again, he was a Marxist. Do we adopt Stalin's tactics because they were effective (and lethal)? Hell no!

Right you are. We need a Muscular Conservative policy. We need a leader above elected politics to take it to them, someone who can articulate and organize. Someone who can hold the alleged Republicans feet to the fire and say, “If you want office, pass our tests as a Conservative, or be gone”.

The left will not be able to handle a real war of words, calling them what they are, calling them out.

We have been too nice for too long. We probably lost our country for the foreseeable future Tuesday night. I want it back, but I will be dammed if I ever support another RINO, or those that do. That whole tree of Liberty thing...

[Madame Dufarge]

Thanks for that.

The cringers can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
