Out Yankee the Yankee, eh? Have at it man... community agitation and grievance politics not really my style. Good luck though!
This is why the Democrats' refusal to be part of the public health plan that the rest of us will be forced into is such a potent issue. Every single Republican needs to mention it as often ad possible next year.
I use a different book.
That is rule thirteen. You omitted Rule 10.
RULE 10: "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign."
Agree, push the issue but keep in mind the congress could easily agree to this plan and leave us looking silly.
They could do this because a Senator or Congressman will still go to whatever doctors they want and will never get denied any treatment no matter the cost. It will appear that they have the same plan as us little people but in reality the rules won’t apply to them whatsoever.
With respect to Rule 4. Perhaps turning in whitehouse.gov to flag@whithouse.gov for posting inaccurate information about the congressional heath care bill would be in line?
The NappyOne
I’m following a different set of rules:
Rule One -
All guns are always loaded.
Rule Two -
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Rule Three -
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
Rule Four -
Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
Why are Alinsky’s “rules” given any concern?
They have NEVER been shown to work for anything.
From Alinsky’s book: (Parenthetical text is mine.)
1. The Purpose
In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people;(Ain’t happened)
to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace....(Ain’t happened)
“Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.’ This means revolution.”(Ain’t happened) p.3
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the
capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism,(Ain’t happened) then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social
order of the dictatorship of the proletariat,(Ain’t happened) and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” (Ain’t happened)p.10
Not an impressive success rate.
Some little weasel dreamed up some drivel fifty years ago.
Big whoop.
“Alinsky, you magnificent bastard! We read your book!”
“Make the enemy live up to his own rules.”
The Islamists - are experts at this... and they’re slowly taking over.
Right. Except for getting an Alinsky disciple elected as President of the United States, these rules have had almost no effect whatsoever.
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the
capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism,(Ain’t happened) then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social
order of the dictatorship of the proletariat,(Ain’t happened) and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” (Ain’t happened)p.10
No, what they promised ain’t happened, but they took power nonetheless in large portions of the globe and caused untold suffering and millions of deaths.
If cap and trade, nationalized health care, card check and immigration reform pass, they will be well on their way to inflict their proletariat paradise on us.
None of us have any delusions that they’re plan will bring us happiness, but many of us have a fear of them taking power.
Believe what you like.
Me, I piss on Alinsky and his “rules”.

I don't see a time line in those rules. Leftist are long term planners. They are beating the crap out of us with this strategy as they now have complete control of our educational system, the media, almost every sector of government bureaucracy and on and on.
They are just now starting to see the fruits of their evil deeds and it's starting to pay off big time.
We must take back the schools and the primary sources of information (the media) or freedom will eventually fail.
