FTA: ““The Rules For Radicals” was designed as a guide for the left to use to tear down civil society and build up something utopian in its place. It tactics are not applicable to those of us who value a stable, civil, and prosperous nation.”
My reading of Alinsy’s Rules is that it is about attacking organizational cohesiveness. As such it seems totally appropriate to turn their tactics back on them to achieve that effect and thereby advance conservative candidates. Stability and civility = RINO, IMO. Prosperity results from economic freedom and choice which is certainly not the status quo.
Correct.
When you are dealing with a dictatorial communist like 0bama, who uses no holds barred, hardball, destructive tactics to crush all who oppose him, you have no alternative but to his his own tactics against him. Always put yourself in the mind of your enemy, and figure out what they are going to do next, then use his own strengths and tactics against him.
Alisky’s rules are Stalinist by nature. Say one thing to tear down the opposition. Use one argument to pass some legislation. Hypocrisy is not an issue. “By any means necessary” is.
They lie like Stalinists and do not have any moral feelings that this is “wrong”.
