Rules for Radicals provides the organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either dominates or is dominated.
“The first rule of power tactics is: power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
“Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”
“Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
“The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself.”
“In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
MAYBE IT ONLY APPEARS THEY HAVE THE LARGEST ORGANIZATION EVER IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THEY SAY SO.I HAVE SEEN TWO OBAMA YARDS SIGNS IN MY WHOLE DAMNED TOWN OF PANAMA CITY
I always love your confidence, jveritas!!
Not that I’m worrying TOO much about Florida, or even about the overall election (for President/VP), but I have to admit I’m still nervous.... a bit. The stakes are so high and the Demagogues have 95% of the lying MSM on their side. But things are shaping up pretty well for us.
Let’s hope there is a growing shift in Congressional races, too!! I’d love to see a trifecta of White House/Senate/House, but I understand that picking up ground in Congress will be tough, especially the Senate due to the breakdown of the particular races and candidates.
