Since the rodents have now had 248 years to study our Founding and Forefather’s words, maybe we should do the same, and good old Sal Alinksy is perfect to decipher our nation’s current happenings. His Rules For Radicals cites, “Power is the very essence, the dynamo of life.”

Act Like Men: Part 1 – Know Your Enemy
Unless you have fully disappeared into the metaverse you by now realize we are hip deep in a culture war in the United States and throughout the west. Things once regarded as self-evident truths and common sense among western society have been slung onto the chopping block of post-modern methods used by woke, Marxist-Communist, social … Read more
If We Use The Democrat Rules … It is Long Past Time to Cancel The Democrat Party
Using rules against political opponents is precisely the antics Saul Alinsky loved. Make them live up to their own book of rules. Dems try to do it all the time, but a Republican State Senator in Florida just that idea to a whole new level.
Gunstock – About That Oath That Commissioners Lambert / Wood Keep Yammering That Ness and Strang Have Broken??
So, yet another post in this now long-running series chronicling what seems to be a coup d’etat over the Gunstock Area Commission but one that goes to the heart of the demagoguery used by Commissioners Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial) and Jade Wood (NH GOP Area 5 Vice-Chair). Ever since the two of them went … Read more
UPDATED and BUMPED: Now Also Part of a Political Stunt. “So This Is What Tom Day, Rebecca Lapense, and Robin Rowe Think of a Large Gunstock Christian Customer: Soulfest”
UPDATED and BUMPED: bumped from 7/23/22. The email thread involving Rebecca LaPense, Robin Rowe, and Tom Day showing their Anti-Christian outlook is at the bottom of this post.
This proves that Doug Lambert, Jade Wood, Gary Kiedaisch, and others have been lying about Soulfest not happening over the mass resignations of Sr. Management – Tom Day, GM, been trying to get rid of Soulfest for almost a year! It’s clear this has been a nothing but a political bargaining chip and putup. All that malarky from Tom Day and Cathy White that they didn’t want Soulfest AT ALL anymore. It was a loser financially from what scuttlebutt has them saying before. But a contract is a contract – until these seemingly Anti-Christianists don’t like having believers, people of faith, around. Until it can be useful for their political means of getting rid of the people asking hard questions about subjects they wanted to be left in the dark.
OH WAIT! They wanted it BOTH ways! Listen to all the screaming in the media AND in the GAC meetings – they wanted them gone but had no problem in using them as both a political cudgeal and as political bait in their PR campaign. OH, YOU CAN’T HAVE SOULFEST WITHOUT US AT THE HELM. SAVE us, Obi Wan Tom Day – make those new GAC Storm Troopers asking us hard questions that would reveal answers that will embarrass us go away!
So while doing this, what as Tom Day doing back in October and November of last year? Trying to get rid of SoulFest – well before their man-made disaster. From the unredacted billing records run up with Devine-Millimet law firm by Tom Day and Gary Kiedaisch:
Imagine that – you’d think that Tom Day, Gary Kiedaisch, and all of the rest of them have no honor or honesty in a single one of their bones. They KNEW they were burning the Soulfest candle from both ends – burning Soulfest itself and still using Soulfest to burn the Delegation/GAC members.
OK, Doug Lambert, soon to be promoted from Secretary to Chair of the GAC (and of DGFIndustrial), whatcha gonna do about this political conundrum? Are you going to correctly call it out for what it is and admit malfeasance? Or are you going to cover it up, just like the good ole boy network in Gilford we went after (and Moultonborough and other towns) in shining Big Flashlights on their misdealing?
Sadly, I’m having to say that he has changed – he has become what he once hated. But having a sense of grace and forgiveness that you haven’t shown towards either Peter Ness or Dr. Dave Strang, or those on the Delegation, I would be happy to give you a blessing – if you turn from the Dark Side and return to the Light. Like you said you had to do those 15 years ago.
Besides, we have better cookies.
UPDATED and BUMPED: Originally posted on March 18, 2022. Please review the email thread below by Becky LaPense, Robin Rowe, and Tom Day (all now former Sr. Mgt) to show you how much they “lived” the respect “lines” they’ve been mouthing at the GAC meetings.
Belknap County, The GAC, Saul Alinsky, And Sununu Shoots His Mouth off without Total and Factual Details …
Boy, did I call this right last night! I said during the Public Comment session of the Gunstock Area Commission (GAC) meeting last night that the resignations of the Gunstock Mountain Resort Sr. Management, as well as the narcissistic (IMHO) Commissioner Gary Kiedaish, was the culmination of a massive Saul Alinsky-style political stunt and disinformation campaign.
BREAKING: Daily Sun Cub Reporter Jon Decker turns Political Activist Vibrating with Anger. In other news, Gunstock Mountain Resort Sr. Management All Quit As Does “All Alone” Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch
I did expect to see fireworks tonite at the Gunstock Area Commission; I did but not the way that I thought was going to happen. And yes, I thought this would happen (Kiedaisch and Sr. Mgt). More on that later as I have ALL of it on video that I need to process it. Summary: … Read more

Here’s a reminder as to what the Democrats are doing
I have the abridged Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals here. They worked very well for the Left for a long time – both Hillary and Obama were accolytes of his methods. One thing, though, is that they are only tactics (and yes, they work for us on the Right as well). What was the intent, the … Read more

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?
“Shameful” there, ‘Bam? Obama just got Alinsky’d on gun control and is he mad!
What’s good for the gander should be good for the goose – only this time, it seems that the goose has had its feathers all in a dither, as the US Senate voted against the gun control bill, the Manchin/Toomey bill, went down 54-46. Diane Feinstein’s new and expanded ban on so-called “assault weapons” (hey, I got an “assault fork” too!) and high standard-capacity magazines also was a blank at an even worse 40-60. And Our Imperial King Obama is royally ticked off:
“All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington,” Obama said, accusing the gun lobby of lying about the bill.
Aw, lying? Really? Hmm, this bring back any memories about truthtelling, oh LightBringer?
The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.’
I would consider this a lie as well; fear-mongering by him. After all, Saul Alinsky dedicated his Rules for Radicals to the Father of Lies, Lucifer, and Obama is nothing if not a disciple of Alinsky. But what is permissible to the King can hardly be extended to the serfs, can it?
HB617 – Well, ONE Republican is making a big stink about raising the gas tax.
Well, I, Mike, and Steve are all over HB617, the bill that will raise the gas tax 18 cents over the next four years – and to hammer home the point, we can thank Republicans for greasing the skids to push this through without nary a cross vote. Well, one NH House Representative has spoken up about it – NH State Representative Bill O’Brien. And he has sent some information our way as well. In my post, it is obvious that Democrat David Campbell is all aflutter about his “hoodwinking” : “the gift that keeps on giving” – he is just ecstatic that he’s widened a revenue source for feeding Leviathan. Notice that wording – spoken as a true Statist in that the orientation is from State Treasury aspect.
Sidenote: Never mentions that in order for the State to “receive”, it is taking, by force, monies that New Hampshirites would otherwise be able to spend on their families. But, that’s how Progressives are – they are always convinced that they have a better purpose for your money than you do. They delight in using other peoples money (but really believe it was theirs to begin with).
Well, Bill decides to take Campbell to task for playing magician with the facts of the bill to one set of folks but boasting about it to the Democrat Leadership (Campbell’s letter after the jump) and adds some figures (emphasis mine):
David,
There is an additional spreadsheet you have on the 83% hike in the gas tax, but up to now you have only given to the Democratic leadership of the Finance, Resources and Fish & Game committees. That spreadsheet, which was prepared by the Department of Safety, points out that this near doubling of the gas tax will apply to all gas sales, but that gas used for snowmobiles and boats is not placed in the Highway Trust Fund, but instead is deposited into other funds.
Your disclosure of this fact to those committee leaders is inconsistent, of course, with the documents you have forwarded today showing only money going to roads and is contrary to your public protestations that “every dollar” of the gas tax hike will be going to roads. Instead, and as you said in the late afternoon Friday, February 22, 2013 email to the leadership of those committees, “[w]hen fully phased in [the gas tax] will generate $658,000 annually in General Fund revenue, $1,251,000 for Fish & Game and $593,000 for DRED/Trails.” This “extra revenue” going to Fish & Game and DRED will not, of course, be used to repair red-listed bridges.
Dispatch from Future of Journalism Summit / NetRoots Nation foray – Van Jones Book Signing Part 2
Well, of COURSE I bought the book as well. Why not? Now, some might say “Hey, you’re funding the enemy!” Yeah, a few shekels will make it into Van Jones’s wallet. But I also read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals for TWO specific reasons:
- Sun-Tze: know your enemy
- I almost got Alinsky’d before I knew what it was (Hey, Zandra Rice-Hawkins -> #FAIL)
I have no intention of allowing myself to get “Jones’d” in the future; as my high school Principal said over and over and over (again) over the loudspeaker for the morning greeting: forewarned is forearmed (and in politics, that last word has multiple definitions). He’s a major player in this engagement between philosophies – and make NO mistake, we have been in a philosophical war here in the US for quite some time. His is an ideology, shared by much of the White House denizens and President Obam. It is one that is an outlook that is more communism than individualistic, more Marx than Founding Fathers. In fact, I think it could be safe to say, as was discussed a lot at the Future of Journalism Summit dinners, workshops, and informal gatherings, that this struggle we are in IS a Cold Civil War. Just was with the war with Communism (which, being between nation-states, did have a few “hot” proxy wars – more on this later.
In the mean time, here’s video of me getting the book signed:
