Rules for Radical Conservatives

David Kahane: Beating the Left at Its Own Game to Take Back America
Book Review:

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.

Obama's Backbone Exposed!

"The face of the union movement is not a worker on the assembly line but a clerk at the DMV," James Sherk, the report’s author, wrote.

The Labor Department reported there were 7.1 million union workers in the private sector and 7.6 million in the public sector in 2010, according to the report.

Sherk says unionizing government employees became widespread in the 1960s. Now government employees make up 52 percent of all union members. He said unionizing government workers is a disadvantage for taxpayers as private firms face competition and unions don't.

"But when a union extracts a generous contract from a government, there is no check on that spending. Instead of being forced out by more efficient competitors, the government just raises taxes," Sherk claimed.

"Government unions are the backbone of the Obama dependency economy," he said. "Taxpayers should not have to subsidize union campaigns, much less those that call for tax increases. At the very least Congress should end the automatic payroll deduction of union dues."
