Download or read book Rules for Conservatives written by Michael Charles Master and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saul Alinsky wrote Rules for Radicals 40 years ago as instructions on how to seize power. He was the original community organizer who documented how to organize others to provide power to the organizers. Alinsky was an instigator of class warfare and of the culture war. He taught liberals how to divide America by organizing communities to seize power. Because of those who practiced those rules, America is suffering. Every problem that we Americans face today can be traced back to compromises with liberal radical leaders. As it defined the rules that radicals should use to implement socialism and gain more control of governments, Rules for Conservatives defines the rules that conservatives should use to stop this incremental takeover by liberals. The Tea Party movement is determined to cut the tax burden on Americans. With decreased tax revenues, governments will have to shrink and liberals will lose power. Rules for Conservatives is the playbook for all conservatives and all Tea Party people to save America from liberal community organizers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons from the groundbreaking grassroots campaign that helped launch a new political revolution Rules for Revolutionaries is a bold challenge to the political establishment and the “rules” that govern campaign strategy. It tells the story of a breakthrough experiment conducted on the fringes of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign: A technology-driven team empowered volunteers to build and manage the infrastructure to make seventy-five million calls, launch eight million text messages, and hold more than one-hundred thousand public meetings—in an effort to put Bernie Sanders’s insurgent campaign over the top. Bond and Exley, digital iconoclasts who have been reshaping the way politics is practiced in America for two decades, have identified twenty-two rules of “Big Organizing” that can be used to drive social change movements of any kind. And they tell the inside story of one of the most amazing grassroots political campaigns ever run. Fast-paced, provocative, and profound, Rules for Revolutionaries stands as a liberating challenge to the low expectations and small thinking that dominates too many advocacy, non-profit, and campaigning organizations—and points the way forward to a future where political revolution is truly possible.
Download or read book Rules for Radical Conservatives written by David Kahane and published by Random House Digital, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a frustrated conservative shocked by the bunch of far Left fanatics driving the bus--and our future--off a cliff? It's time to fight back with the same ruthlessness that has served the radicals so well--not just now, but for the long term. And who better to reveal their strategies--and their fatal weaknesses--than one of their own? Playing on his all-too-typical hubris and good old greed, we've recruited well-known liberal apparatchik David Kahane to lead conservatives out of the political wilderness, whether he means to or not. Is he arrogant and obnoxious? Absolutely. Does he deliver the goods? You betcha. We'll let Dave speak for himself: Please allow me to introduce myself. . . . My name is David and I'm going to share some secrets. I'm going to take you into the smoke-free back rooms of today's progressive political machine to reveal how it really operates--and how you can bring it down. I'll lay out the rules we radicals have used to run circles around you, and clue you in on how to make them work for you, too. How do I know this stuff? As the son of the sainted "Che" Kahane, I've been schooled in the art of seizing and holding political power as we transform America one antiquated tradition and constitutional clause at a time. Now I work in Hollywood, where I've perfected the game pioneered by such pros as Machiavelli, Saul Alinsky, and Al Capone, father of the immortal Chicago Way. Read on and learn from our time-tested techniques: * Know your enemy, his intentions, his weapons, and his weaknesses. You too can play relentless, on-message hardball with every scandal, hypocrisy, lie, and fundamentally flawed policy your adversaries dish up. * Become what you behold. Adopt some of our scorched-earth tactics, best described in David Mamet's Untouchables: "They pull a knife, you pull a gun." * Take no prisoners. Attack our premises, expose their true nature and consequences, and pin them on us, hard. * Never cede anything to the other side, philosophically speaking. Force the Left to argue facts, not emotions. We hate that. * Treat us with the same respect we give you.None. * It is better to be feared than liked, especially by your enemies. And it helps to show up for the fight. (Note to past and future Republican candidates.) Why am I telling you all this? Because I thrive on making trouble and, frankly, because I'm proud of what my team has done. Between us, I don't think it matters if I turn over our playbook to you at this late date. I don't think you can get it together to stop us now. Plus, I got a lot of money. Happy reading, America! You think you can take us down? Go for it. I dare you.

Book excerpt: What is a retrograde? In the words of Shakespeare, a retrograde is one of God's spies.

Download or read book Cooking Alinsky s Goose written by and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saul Alinsky was a radical Socialist and political activist; his conflict/response model for revolutionary activism has been used as a tactical compass for every left-leaning political action in America from Abbey Hoffman¿s Chicago trial to the perverse media attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin. President William Jefferson Clinton won two presidential races by cashing in on Alinsky¿s political capital in social activism. More recently, President Barrack Hussein Obama demonstrated in 2008 he understood this model even better than Alinsky¿s star pupil, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Incredibly, Alinsky¿s model can be applied to any political situation, even one in which the target for change is Alinsky¿s own Socialist America.If Americans really want to advance the notion of liberty, we could take a few pointers on strategic activism from the side of the battleground that is successfully shredding the Constitution, ignoring the Bill of Rights, and destroying the system of Capitalism that protects our liberty. Besides¿using Alinsky¿s rules to achieve the defeat of Socialism has a certain sweet irony to it. Where to hit, who to hit, and specifically how to hit below the Socialists belt¿¿How to leverage Alinsky¿s maniacal search for good activists and great strategies¿Using Alinsky¿s 'rules¿ to thwart Obama¿s conspiracy to destroy Capitalism through coercive taxation and inflation¿Making ACORN completely nuts with voter registration; an 800lb leviathan in 2010¿How your library card and home computer can be used to defeat the three stooges of Socialism; Obama, Pelosi and Reed.Finally, a plan emerges¿time to kick some Socialist butt.
Download or read book How to Stop Fascism written by Paul Mason and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'For its historical depth, analytical vigour and mobilizational potential, this book is unparalleled ... every page is an urgent invitation to resist' David Lammy MP The bestselling author of PostCapitalism offers a guide to resisting the far right The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it. In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism, and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, and it has haunted us throughout the twentieth century. History shows us the conditions that breed fascism, and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of COVID-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?

Download or read book Revolutions a Very Short Introduction written by Jack A. Goldstone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the 20th and 21st century revolutions have become more urban, often less violent, but also more frequent and more transformative of the international order. Whether it is the revolutions against Communism in Eastern Europe and the USSR; the "color revolutions" across Asia, Europe and North Africa; or the religious revolutions in Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria; today's revolutions are quite different from those of the past. Modern theories of revolution have therefore replaced the older class-based theories with more varied, dynamic, and contingent models of social and political change. This new edition updates the history of revolutions, from Classical Greece and Rome to the Revolution of Dignity in the Ukraine, with attention to the changing types and outcomes of revolutionary struggles. It also presents the latest advances in the theory of revolutions, including the issues of revolutionary waves, revolutionary leadership, international influences, and the likelihood of revolutions to come. This volume provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the nature of revolutions and their role in global history"--

Book excerpt: In this era of ever-growing, more distant, unresponsive government--and politicians of both parties who do not walk their talk--retired California state senator H. L. (Bill) Richardson's book is a strong tonic. He warns, however, his words are not for the faint of heart: as Finley Peter Dunne once said, "Politics ain't beanbag." He spells out in a series of lessons how his often hard-pressed conservative minority was able to win victory after victory on issues like the death penalty, gun control, and removing liberal judges. "The central theme of this book is the methodology both sides use. Being 'right' is not enough," he cautions.
Download or read book They Must Be Stopped written by Brigitte Gabriel and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Must Be Stopped is New York Times bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam–we must act soon, and powerfully. Drawing from seventh-century teachings, Gabriel probes into how fundamentalist Islam, under the guise of religious liberty, perpetuates hatred towards western values while exploiting the U.S. legal system. This crucial work takes a hard look at madrassas, flagging their surge in America as part of a rising radical army on U.S. soil. Gabriel fearlessly critiques an overbearing climate of political correctness that often stifles candid discussions about radical Islam. She passionately advocates that America must shed its restraint, questioning its complacency towards this growing internal threat, and demand its representatives to take protective action. Delving into its religious and historical basis, the encroachments across the globe, and systemic abuses of democracy in the name of religion, They Must Be Stopped serves as a clarion call to the world.
Download or read book The Field of Fight written by Michael T. Flynn and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flynn "lays out [the reasons he believes] why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. The core message is that if you understand your enemies, it's a lot easier to defeat them--but because our government has concealed the actions of terrorists like bin Laden and groups like ISIS, and the role of Iran in the rise of radical Islam, we don't fully understand the enormity of the threat they pose against us"--Amazon.com.
Download or read book Obama Hillary Saul Alinsky and Their Useful Idiots written by Will Clark and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America, the greatest country that's ever existed to recognize and protect humanity and to encourage freedom and opportunity, is now in grave danger to maintain those wonderful gifts for mankind. Our wonderful nation is now under attack by fierce zealots who can't tolerate the ideas, opportunities, and freedom of aspirations America allows and supports. We are now on a dangerous precipice. One of these three assaults is from direct confrontation by radical Islamic Jihadists who proclaim, promise, and boast they will destroy us and our way of life; especially our Christian way of life. Their whole being is to control the world and they don't keep their intentions or their goals secret. It's a blatant military and terrorist attack. America is the 'Great Satan' they must destroy to fulfill their religious and zealous mission. The other two assaults are not direct or open. They are subtle and insidious, and are guided by deception. And, presently no one is combating their insidious and sneaky encroachment on our accepted American way of life. The leaders and encroachers have been free to spout their evil and their harmful designs without resistance. One encroachment is from the Muslim Brotherhood. They even have a written plan to replace American freedoms with their dogmatic religion through a process they call 'Settlement.' With the support of Barack Obama and others within our government they are far advanced in accomplishing that plan. The other assault is from a socialist-communist agenda outlined by Saul Alinsky; and is being accomplished through his 'Rules for Radicals' program. Barack Obama was once a teacher of the Alinsky principles. In her early years, Hillary Clinton also corresponded with Alinsky and praised his radical programs. This book defines all these assaults. It also defines those who are used in these attacks on America; 'Useful Idiots, Useful Innocents, and Useful Fools.'
