Continuing with the memorial of Andrew Breitbart’s Pragmatic Primer, I go into how we can expose the left’s words and deeds by using their own words.

Continuing with Andrew Breitbart’s Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Revolutionaries, here is his explanation for Rule #2:

2.) Expose the left for who they are – in their own words: It’s easy to label the left, to analyze them, to take them apart using your rationality – their program fails every time it’s tried, and their lexicon, once you know it, is as predictable as the sun rising in the east. What’s much harder than understanding the left is exposing it.

That’s where citizen journalists come in. Drudge was a citizen journalist, and he took on a president. Today, we all have the power to be citizen journalists via the internet – there’s no Complex gatekeeper to stop us from posting the truth about enemies of freedom and liberty in this country. In the past few years alone, citizen journalists have deposed Dan Rather for his scurrilous and baseless attacks on George W. Bush; exposed John Kerry’s true war record during the 2004 election cycle; debunked Reuters’ photography fraud in the Middle East; raised the question whether Barack Obama’s autobiography, Dreams from My Father, was ghostwritten by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; gotten rid of communist Van Jones; and the list goes on. The Internet has become the shining beacon of journalistic freedom, tearing apart congressional bills piece by piece for the benefit of the public, even when our own legislators won’t read them.

The key to the success of the New Media, though, is making news by breaking news. And that means that conservatives need to use their new best technological friends: the MP3 recorder, the phone camera, and the blogosphere. It’s one thing to say that the left likes socialism, but it’s a real story to get Barack Obama to admit it on camera, as he did to Joe the Plumber during the 2008 election cycle. Video journalism is the most potent kind of journalism. We live in an age of sound and light, not text, and we have to adapt to that age.

You are the soldiers in this war against the Institutional Left. You have been issued your weapons. Go out and use them. Make it impossible for the Complex to ignore you.

I find it a little bit ironic but mayhap led by Andrew himself that this rule is being written during CPAC 2013 for the simple reason that the speakers and panelists are empowering us with the skills and tactics to go up against the Left. The war is the Mainstream Media (who employ Alinsky tactics) v. the Citizen Journalist (who employ Breitbart tactics) first and foremost. And judging by the speakers Thursday, yesterday and today I personally have never felt more empowered to take on the Mainstream Media and hold them accountable for putting the politicians’ feet to the fire.

Even though I was not able to attend CPAC in person, I had followed the proceedings on Twitter (with the hashtag #CPAC2013) and also in a chatroom from Right Scoop’s Live Feed of CPAC 2013, and I dare say that all of the speeches were wonderful. The speakers I had heard definitely fired me up and inspired me to continue this fight through my blogs and this radio show as well as my New Media venture.

I will go more into the speakers later in the show, but all I have to say is after listening to the speakers over the past three days, the liberals had better be very afraid. We will never EVER forget what happened on November 6. In fact, that only served to embolden many of us to do all we can to call out the liberals and any on our own side who support Obama’s policies. I know I am emboldened to do my part. Who will stand with me in that bunker defending those who spoke and in a sense are on that wall defending our freedom?

When I did Rule 2 in 2013, it was at the end of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and as I mentioned in the entry, it just served to give me the incentive to continue the fight to hold the media accountable. Since then, I have been on the front line of trying to hold the media accountable. Sometimes, I have success. More often than not, however, I fail. No matter what, I keep pressing forward and do what I can. Andrew gave us the tools to go after the media and the left, and to expose them by using their own words against them. This war truly is Saul Alinsky v. Andrew Breitbart, as I had mentioned many times in the past and will continue to  point out.

As Andrew Breitbart always said: “The New Media is taking over where the Old Media failed.” We are the New Media, and we will not be overlooked or denied. As another new media outlet known as Patriots’ Soapbox says: “We are the news now.” We have the tools to expose the left and the Saul Alinsky tactics they try to use in order to divide and conquer us. They had used those rules for far too long. Now it is time to fight back. If anyone is with me in the fight against the radical left, let me know that I am not alone.

Not only do we have the tools to fight the radical left, we also have to be open about our own secrets. I will explain that a little more next week.
