The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength. Saul Alinsky ..
Priceless.
Alinsky, you magnificent bastard, I READ YOUR BOOK!
Or to put it more practically...the one surprise the left has experienced in the past decade, beginning with the near-instantaneous rise of the Tea Party and culminating with Trump, is that the right is beginning to battle the left according to the left’s rules, and the left still does not yet know what has hit them.
Silly liberals, Rules for Radicals can always be applied to use as Rules AGAINST Radicals...
Not only the rules but the spirit are contained here with the additional information
Saul Alinskys 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 mans 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. Ones concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with ones personal interest in the issue Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that ones concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with ones 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.
Are we talking Moonbat-Meltdowns?
when Poets buy guns, tourist season is over
Relates directly to John Adam's quote about his generation having to learn war so that his sons could learn math, so that their sons could learn poetry and music. The problem with the quote is that Adams doesn't posit what happens to the generation that learns poetry and music: it has to spawn children who are willing to learn war all over again, or the society is doomed. With Trump, the Boomer and Xer poets are beginning to buy guns, and it won't take long for enough of the Millennials to follow to counteract the snowflakes--and some of the snowflakes themselves might harden into shuriken, at which point the enemy will be doomed for good.
That is one of the things we like most about President Trump. GWB was focused on terrorism and never successfully stood up to the left to get rid of the millions of illegals in our country. Rubio, Jeb, and the rest of the GOP establishment would have invited even more illegals. Patriotic voters were not impressed. Trump showed how to do it, and no one learned from him except his voters.
And now we are woke, as the ridiculous Left would put it, to the Lefts tired Alinsky antics. We see its all a lie. Its all a scam.
And the irony is that Hillary is supposed to be the expert on Alinsky....what with an internship and a masters thesis on Alinsky.
The Hoist Petard duo are smiling.
On a separate issue, President Donald J. Trump (ILWT) seems to have successfully adopted the infamous Cloward-Piven strategy to overwhelm the dims.
ILWT = I Love Writing That
Posts BUMP!
HOORAY Kurt Schlichter
Good article
Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Actually, we now have a lot of power. No, we dont have direct power over liberal bastions like Hollywood . . .
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3524301/posts By wearing a pro-Trump dress, a singer went from #2300 on the charts to #1. That’s the power we have.
when the most outrageous thing a person can say is
Make America Great Again!
conservatives have become the Radicals of our day and age.
What an important article! Awesome. Needs to be shared around the world, teehee, or not. Maybe the libtards don’t know how this thing is playing out? Their behavior says they don’t know, we sure shouldn’t tell them.
The left is dying.
Bump
Kurt nails it again, he is rapidly getting up there with Mark Stein and Walter Williams. Thanks for posting.
He sure does
I hear lefty Whoppi's panties are in a twist (or does she wear boxers?)
Whoppi just found out Trump's next E/O bans Whoppi from salons where she gets her (cough) beauty treatments.
