Victory in Michigan Shows Tea Party Can Take a Punch

The passage of right-to-work legislation this week in Michigan is a victory for the states working families. It is also a political victory for the conservative movement, and for the Tea Party in particular, which was written off as dead in the wake of Barack Obamas re-election victory last month. The message of greater freedom and limited government is a winner; its the messengers that have been losers. And its time to adopt new tactics.
We should not be afraid to borrow from the left--not just from Obamas data mining and get-out-the-vote apparatus, but from the methods of Saul Alinsky, the radical who inspired Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Chicago cohort. For example, when Steven Crowder took several punches--on camera--from a union thug in Lansing yesterday, he unwittingly used a classic Alinskyite tactic to expose the oppositions brutal essence.
