“The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.” – Saul Alinsky ..
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...
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 Left’s tired Alinsky antics. We see it’s all a lie. It’s 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

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 don’t 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.
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.
Bump
Kurt nails it again, he is rapidly getting up there with Mark Stein and Walter Williams. Thanks for posting.
Never thought I’d woohoo Alinsky, but here goes....Woohoo!!!
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
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.
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.
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’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.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
“Chuck Schumer is enduring such a non-stop parade of serial humiliations that if the Senate were a penitentiary, he’d be McConnell’s prison Mitch.”
A war cannot be won by exclusively fighting defensively.
We need to “take the war” to the left. But how?
1) Start with the weapons they have created, but turn them around to be used against them.
“Operation Choke Point”, in which the Justice Department coerced financial institutions, especially banks, to not provide banking and loan services to a list of *legal* businesses that the left despises, in particular, gun dealers, but also hit:
Ammunition Sales
Coin Dealers
Credit Repair Services
Dating Services
Fireworks Sales
Home-Based Charities
Money Transfer Networks
On-line Gambling
Pawn Shops
Payday Loans
Pharmaceutical Sales
Surveillance Equipment
Tobacco Sales
Travel Clubs
Anyway, President Trump should *keep* “Operation Choke Point”, but re-designate the currently legal targets that should be denied banking services, to include:
Planned Parenthood
Innumerable Soros-Funded organizations
Innumerable Tides Foundation funded organizations
The SPLC
The ACORN spin-offs
Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS)
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
International Action Center (IAC)
Midwest Academy (MA)
Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS)
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)
Refuse & Resist! (R&R)
ANSWER Coalition
MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil de Chicanos de Aztlan
National Lawyers Guild (NLG)
2) President Trump’s next move should be to “deflate the higher education bubble”.
Eliminate all federal funding for racist, sexist, anti-American, radical leftist, and other worthless college majors and courses, both direct funding and provision of student loans to this crap. No reason in the world for the US government to subsidize radicalism and anti-Americanism.
If students want to attend college to get a useful degree, fine. And lean on universities to eliminate worthless “mandatory courses in p.c.” If students want that stuff, they have to pay cash up front. No student loans for this foolishness.
3) Next up, turn most of the federal funding to states into block grants, with “recommended but not mandatory federal guidelines” for their use, and *no*, *zero* strings attached. That is, for example, strip the popular student lunch program from hundreds of federal requirements placed on it, “or we will take away your money”.
And nail those coffins shut with a powerful rule that no additional requirements can be added to any block grant without the overwhelming support (even 2/3rds) of congress.
