Okay, lay it on me.

NO WAY.
But everyone should read these “rules” and know what we are up against.
This is why Obama made those mocking smiles last night. When you’re losing, MOCK. RIDICULE.
We need to FIGHT these people, not join them.
I agree fully.
Just attack, attack, attack, humiliate.
Liberals won’t be able to handle it.
OK, ignore us (or laugh quietly).
I am going to war.
Actually, skiming the rules, methinks Regan DID follow such rules - maybe not deliberately, but he cut thru all the crap his own people threw in his way, and pushed methods & goals that his opponents could not cope with. He excited his base and bewildered his enemies - and won.
But remember to do it calmly and politely. That'll really pi$$ them off.
“Polite”
Oh, I am serious about the radical Wolverine Dress Uniform being khaki pants, white shirt, red tie, and blue blazer.
>>>ping<<<
Please excuse my lack of knowledge. What’s “ping” mean?
You’ve been here since 2000?
>>>You’ve been here since 2000?<<<
But I’m way up here at the edge of the treeline, trying to stay warm, gathering firewood, cutting fish, that kind of thing. What’s “ping” mean?
“Ping” is up on top of the header. Just means you have a new post directed to you, a “ping”
It’s just a notification to let someone know there is something here they might be interested in looking at. It comes from telecom industry, when you are checking a circuit you would “ping” to see if the connection is there and check for the expected reply. So on FR, a lot of times people will “ping” another poster who would appreciate reading a thread or a post. That poster can look at the top of their FR page, click on “pings” and it will pull up links to those threads that friends have alerted them about. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the heads-up, bud. Come north and I’ll barbecue up a moose steak for you, with some homegrown fried potatoes.
Thanks as well, along with the explanation. There’s enough moose steak and potatoes for both you and the Texan.
I may yet. I’ve been on the north slope a few times.
I am absolutely serious about getting small groups (cells?) of activist who target, each in their way, media, Hollywood, liberals in industry, and gubmint.
Just completely screw stuff up.
Okay, lay it on me.
Even better than that...
Just spread the idea. No organization is needed. The sociologists call this spreading a “meme” throughout a population. The meme is a new idea which spreads like a virus, jumping from host to host, eventually infecting an entire population.
The meme of using Alinsky’s methods against the left is growing. For instance, I wrote about it a few weeks ago. You wrote about it now. Other people out there, lurkers and freepers, are reading about it and thinking about it. There’s the guy who wants to dump Time magazines in the lobby. Another wants to leave off horse manure. A third guy has the rules for radicals hanging in his office along with the military’s propoganda techniques.
The problem with organization, especially in the era of coming Obamapocalypse, is the RICO statute. It can and will be used against anyone who dissents against Obama and his bully boys. However, they can’t stop a successful meme. It says something about the fear people have about Obama that people are already thinking about a response.
Two of those responses are being repeated over and over here. The first meme is the resort to Alinsky tactics. The second meme is the John Galt-style general strike by the productive against those who want to redistribute wealth.
Just keep spreading the idea. I go out of my way to spread both memes whenever I write on this and other websites. There really isn’t a need to organize. In fact, this is the strength of both the Islamofascists and the Left - they spread the ideas to those who are willing to listen, and then the adherents take up the fight themselves, without any organization whatsoever.
This is what Mao meant when he said, “Let a thousand flowers bloom.” Spread the seeds of the idea and let them grow. Good luck and God bless.
I concur.
Let a thousand flowers bloom, indeed.
“RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)”
For example, target Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, or better yet, an editor for Newsweek.
That’s what I’m talking about.
