I said in Monday Memes I would do an overflow post. Presented without further fanfare… let the mockery and ridicule of the Left resume:

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
My first reaction was “Or WHAT? Demands means you’ve got something to back them up with. You don’t”.
Over at NH Journal, Michael Graham asks the actual question I answered: “Will NH Pols Meet BLM Demands?” My answer is “only if they are scared of their own shadows“. This is yet another ploy by an extremely small group of people trying to shove their way forward on the political surfboard based on the … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – Toilet Tyrannies, Socialist Shower Heads, and “Who Chooses?”
Emphasis mine: But he [Trump] is a man of action and instructed the EPA and the Department of Energy to change the rules. An energy department spokesperson says “If adopted, this rule would undo the action of the previous Administration and return to Congressional intent, allowing Americans – not Washington bureaucrats – to choose what … Read more
Once again, is Trump baiting the Left by saying that delaying the 2020 elections might be in the cards?
I have to admit, I really didn’t think of this angle from Instapundit: “UPDATE: A friend on Facebook comments: “The left is going bonkers over this.”
Really, Union Leader, the House GOP “revolts”???
I would say that Republicans stuck to their guns (in some cases, literally) and said in effect “Decisions have consequences.” Steve Shurtleff, the Democrat Speaker of the NH House, YOU shut the House down and we don’t have to go along with rewriting YOUR rules to make it work.”
Clapping – what goes around, comes around
It proves that sometimes, sarcasm can be used both ways and in this case, the second time it has teeth. When Nancy “Trump will always be Impeached” Pelosi did that to Trump at the end of the State of the Union, many though it was an “in your face” moment showing how politicized Govt has … Read more
Using Alinsky’s Force: Cruz pushes Senate resolution praising Soleimani mission, daring Dems to oppose It
Sometimes, politics gets both weird and petty but still amusing at the same time. The Democrats are FURIOUS beyond belief that Trump took out General Soliemani who was responsible for many American deaths and injuries during the Iraqi War.
Zandra Rice-Hawkins attempts to Alinsky Susan and Kimberly
“I’m disappointed that both the original posting and response violated the principles of GraniteGrok” Zandra Rice-Hawkins wouldn’t know “principles” from Shinola if it bit her in the butt. As I stated here: That was my first interaction with Zandra Rice-Hawkins – she almost Alinsky’d me during McCain’s run for Prez when she was fronting for … Read more
Indeed, many Conservatives have and are using them
See? Alinsky is not just for Commies anymore! I’ve had an “Abridged” post on his Rules for years – let me reproduce them here in honor of the General:
RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
Blogline of the Day – so true, so true
The difference between Russians and Democrats is that Russians rejected socialism.
As seen at the latest Donald Trump rally:

Per usual, Democrats / Liberals / Progressives / Socialists show why comedy is dying –
Email Doodlings – Conservatives should do Press Interviews – but watch the “how”
BUMPED/UPDATED based on my attendance at a training session where I was helping a couple of nights ago: from 1/5/13: “Kiddie tricycle riding journalist met up against a tank with a laughing blogger at the wheel”. Read the bottom of this post – it’s my description of Steve being interviewed by a cub reporter that thought she was hot stuff. Given that it is campaign season and a lot of NH folks may be running for the very first time, my “How To” words still hold true and they work. It comes down to this – if a “journalist” want to interview, ALWAYS record it. Always, always always.
*****************
A good Conservative friend on an email list, well known in NH, refuses to do press interviews. He’s had nothing but gotcha quotes / twisted quotes as a result, so he now leaves them twisting in the wind as they desperately try to get him to speak. There are some that do try for the ensnaring quote simply because of their ideological outlook – after all, what Glen Reynolds of Instapundit says of them is often true:
Democrat operatives with bylines
Sidenote: Example?
Speaking of Ruth Bader Ginsburg – it’s a matter of paperwork, dude
Someone is NOT amused – but the other one certainly is in a much better mood than at a previous White House Coresspondence Dinner, eh? How much angst is Obama having given that Trump is using his own Rule #5 against him? (H/T: Powerline)
The problem for the Dems is that he really did it!
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book … Read more
For a meager mess of porridge; so what DOES the Republican Party stand for now?
From RedState Twitter Feed:
RSBooBooKitty: Blank Check Barry and his Blue Journalism Gang just knocked over the Hapless Hill Savings Bank of Other People’s Money. #RSRH
Such a Happy New Year start – Senate Republicans caved into Obama’s Progressive Punish the Successful campaign. $620 Billion more in taxes. Only $15 Billion in reduced spending. A ratio of $41 in new taxes to $1 in spending cuts. Welcome to Obama’s definition of “balanced” deficits. Obama poured coals on their head during his press conference, utterly belittling them and what they stand for: “Keep in mind that just last month Republicans in Congress said they would never agree to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans.”…“Obviously the agreement that’s currently being discussed would raise those rates and raise them permanently.”
#GROVEL. Trading a mainstay of Republicanism, a pillar of Republican philosophy – lower taxes, limited government. They voted for neither. Again. Again, they didn’t even read the 157 page bill.
