Get Ready To Fill Up Those Tea Cups

By Carmen Grant • on May 15, 2009

crowdEric Odom, the administrator of TaxDayTeaParty.com stated that the main goal of the Tax Day Tea Party Movement is “to facilitate an environment where a new movement would be born.” While many believe the Tax Parties were a one time dig, there are already 747 Tea Parties in the works for Independence day.

Put Power Tactics to Good Use

Saul Alinsky’s book on Power Tactics is filled with ways to organize, conquer, and succeed in community organizing. Put these in your PDA, text or email them to your phone, write them on your hand, and get ready to party likes its 1773 until our demands are met. The information is very valuable and while it was originally meant for left-wing extremists, the tactics are reversible and can be used against the Left. Karl Rove stated that the Obama’s are big fans of the book and its tactics. Here is a chance to give the left a dose of its own medicine.

Rules for 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. Whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s 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.

Rules to test whether power tactics are ethical:

1. One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue.
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 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 to be unethical.
10. You do what you can with what you have and clothe it in 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.”

I personally congratulate all the liberals who mastered Rule number 5. Not only did they come up with a clever sexually charged label for the hard working Tea Party Protesters, they also failed to read the entire list and ask themselves whether or not they were being ethical. Good job liberals.
