I made the observation yesterday to a friend that Trump is enforcing the laws that have been passed by the Congress equally, the Libs are PO’s because they are being applied to them.

Laws are for the serfs, except when there is new sheriff in town.

I say make the liberals honor the contracts, regulations and laws that they have forced on Americans for the last 50 yrs.

Then sit back and watch the fireworks, they cannot avoid as they do not have the votes to stop

Not tired of watching the liberals getting the Alinsky treatment

Rule 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

Well, over the last umpteen years, the leftists have lost lots and lots of elected seats up and down everywhere.

I wonder what kind of "power" they want to convince us they have now.

Holding signs? Interfering with traffic? Screaming at townhall meetings? Wearing hats that look like female body parts?

They have no power and we know they have no power.

What a bunch of losers.

Thanks for the flag.

Love this one, too:

...we finally we have a conservative corps that is willing to mock the members of that motley collection of pompous, inept, lying jerks we call the Democrat Party and its media catamite corps.

and it wouldn’t have happened if not for Trump. None of the other candidates would’ve led this revolution.

I agree, mock them, name them.

Boy they hate being called Leftist fascists, totalitarians.

Hate it!

Turn their words back on themselves. Name them over and over and name what they are doing.

They are haters.

They are totalitarians.

They are ignorant.

They are limited in perspective.

They are evil.

They are parochial.

They are uneducated.

They are Brownshirts.

They are the Democrat KKK riding through the country again sponsored by Democrats and still wearing their masks.

The are fascists.

They are attackers, maim-ers, haters, killers.

They are entitled to all others have.

and the beat goes on...

feel free to add

One major difference: the radical hippies had something to unite against -- the War.

The radicals of today have not found such a uniting cause. Trump?

The mind mush displayed in the video in this FR thread shows that the current crop of protesters are protesting because their minds have been so propagandized they cannot think for themselves. They are basically robots.

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

This is a massive failure against President Trump. Liberals cannot freeze the target because Trump's Twitter feed keeps throwing them off topic. I find the dumb things he says annoying, but I don't care because it drives the Ctrl-Left completely insane. If America's enemies are too unhinged to respond effectively, that's good for America.

GWB’s focus was globalism, not terrorism.

Anyone whose focus was terrorism wouldn’t be carrying on an open love affair with the Wahabbis.

GWB argued that he needed Muslim help to stop terrorism and that the Saudis were essential for that battle. I agree that he was wrong, but I think that (unlike Jeb) George was sincere in thinking his decisions were best for America.

You know?...It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump runs as a democrap in 2020, thus being the savior not only of the Republic, but by undercutting that tottering freak show.

MAGA

I for one, do not advocate following any of Alinsky’s rules. If we align with one or more in the process of doing what is right, I don’t have a problem with that.

Having read that vile book, though, makes me wary of using any part of it deliberately. I found it to be both amoral and immoral in various parts.

That said, I did support President Bush in some key areas, but I was nearly apoplectic with his abject refusal to take on his detractors. He gave them free reign to take them down, and I thought he should have pointedly fought back.

Seeing Trump immediately tweeting out responses fills me with conviction that he is not going to fall into that trap and let the Left set the rules of engagement.

I agree with Pollster1 on this. It was unpalatable, but what we thought had to be done, particularly with staging and airbases.

He may have been wrong, but that was largely uncharted and hazard filled water.

I’ve been saying it here and everywhere for years: if we want to beat Progressivism, we have to go full Alinsky on them. Obama made them into the entrenched status quo, that is only a status quo in certain arenas of American life, so they are especially vulnerable to Alinsky tactics.

It took a Trump who just doesn’t GAF what people say about him to throw down the gauntlet.
