Rules For Radicals

Posted on by

Saul Alinsky wrote RULES FOR RADICALS in 1971. It serves as a guide book for community organizers and people organizing protests. The book is generally associated with left-wing political activity. Two of the rules for radicals are”

  • “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
  • “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”

It is remotely possible that some on the political right have decided to follow some of the suggestions in the book.

On Tuesday, Breitbart reported:

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) shared that he would reintroduce former Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-NV) “exact bill” that would not only eliminate birthright citizenship for the children of illegal migrants, but also clarify who can receive birthright citizenship.

In a post on X, Moreno responded to another post from Fox News’s Bill Melugin, who shared that in 1993, Reid had introduced the Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993. Moreno stated that they would “see how today’s DC Democrats will vote when offered the ideas of the Democrat party that used to love” the U.S.

“I will reintroduce this exact bill when I return to DC,” Moreno said. “Let’s see how today’s DC Democrats will vote when offered the ideas of the Democrat party that used to love this country and the American people!”

It’s interesting that the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress in 1993 and Bill Clinton was President. According to Congress.gov, on 08/16/1993, the bill was referred to Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs. It died in committee. I wonder why the bill did not pass.

It will be interesting to see how the Democrats in the current Congress react to the re-introduction of this bill.

The Washington Times reported yesterday that after Tuesday’s election, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have both expressed a desire to stay on as the Democrat party leaders in Congress.

The article reports:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asked her fellow Democrats to keep her on as their leader in the new Congress next year, saying she still has unfinished goals she wants to accomplish.

She said the chief message she took from Tuesday’s election, which saw Democrats eviscerated at all levels, is that voter suppression was a problem.

I would be more than willing to guarantee that voter fraud on the part of Democrats was more of a problem than voter suppression.

The article also states:

The Californian is likely to get her colleagues’ support to remain as their leader, and Senate Democrats’ leader, Sen. Harry Reid, has indicated he will stay on as they shift to the minority, meaning that despite devastating losses in both chambers, Democrats will keep their leadership team intact.

Admittedly, President Obama is the major part of the reason the Democrats took a beating on Tuesday, but Representative Pelosi and Senator Reid were also part of the problem. When a football team continually loses games, you change the coaching team. If the Democrats want to regain control of the House and the Senate, they need to retool their leadership team–it is not an attractive team.
