Psychological Warfare for Conservatives
American Thinker ^ | 12/24/15 | William A. Levinson

Posted on 12/24/2015 10:14:04 AM PST by Winged Hussar

How do grossly unqualified individuals like Barack Obama become President of the United States? Why is the Second Amendment under continual attack? The root cause is, in both cases, conservatives’ failure to understand psychological warfare and failure to understand the concept of the Propaganda Man.

Whenever we try, the Republicans cut the legs out from under us!

Well THANK YOU! About ding dong time conservatives sussed that the battlefield is the 6:00 news, YouTube and Facebook. A lack of human empathy does not work well in front of the camera. For a techno literate demographic, conservatives really need to learn how to ACT and begin to retake the entertainment industry and popular culture in general. Where is the conservative Robin Williams, where is the conservative Sesame Street, Where is the conservative Saturday Night Live????

Well, we have one who is now willing to get down and dirty - and how! - and conservatives and lots of freepers are in hysterics about it.

A needed article.

weak arguments are worse than no argument is something we need to learn.

Generalizations, stereotypes, Painting with a broad brush is an example of weak argument.

All Muslims are a problem; all illegals are a problem are examples of weak arguments. We work beside Muslims and illegals. We live beside them. We sit beside illegals in church. They attend our kids birthday party. We have political discussions with them and they are pro-life, anti-gay marriage.

So when the obviously false generalization is stated, it destroys our credibility.

In contrast, a narrow focus is needed. Illegals who drive drunk, who rape and go on welfare are a problem...a problem that should be dealt with decisively.

Creeping socialism brought us to where we are because it was effective to sell people on small incremental increases in government.

We need to examine our agenda and realize where we can be effective by creeping slowly...and where we can be effective with a sudden surge. Those are tactical issues, not issues of values or principles.

No, that’s not it at all.

The problem comes when people who are for the most part honest and truthful .. REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT .. AND THESE OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ANY INTENTION OF BEING HONEST OR TRUTHFUL.

That is Hillary Clinton ..!!!! She is a serial liar .. and she always has been. However, well-meaning people seem to want to suggest that she’s really not what you would call a liar .. and some even refuse to speak it; such as those in the media who say, “well, I wouldn’t call her a liar”.

BUT .. HILLARY IS A LIAR.

With that in mind .. why then is it so easy for certain people to FLATLY DENY THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MUSLIM RELIGION. I didn’t write the book .. but it clearly says that if I don’t convert to Islam, then my other option is to DIE.

Some people actually refuse to believe that .. so they pretend it doesn’t exist .. and those who are coming here who are Muslims, are really nice people WHO WOULDN’T HARM ANYBODY.

THIS IS WILLFUL BLINDNESS .. not because they’re stupid, but because they cannot accept that people would want to kill them simply because they believe in Christianity.

TOO MANY HAVE BECOME DUMBED DOWN TO THE POINT THAT EVERY THING THE REPUBLICANS DO IS BAD .. and everything the DemocRATS do is good.

Well .. the world is waking up and realizing we have been sold a bag of lies and we’re not going to stand for it anymore.

This is why the psychological warfare of the left works on a lot of people .. it’s called FEAR.

Trump does not operate in fear. He calls a spade a spade, and it’s waking a lot of people up. The left hates it.

It doesn’t *matter* HOW we speak the truth.

It will ALWAYS be twisted.

When Trump called for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, it’s STILL being bandied about as “Racist Trump says to ban all Muslims in the United States”. I see that meme repeated over and over again every freaking day.

We can be as honest and nuanced as we like and it DOES NOT MATTER. The media and the left are such freaking liars.

I just showed hubs a headline, then told him the rest of the story. He shook his head. “How do you find out all of the details like that?”

I TOLD HIM THAT I READ THAT FREAKING STORY. That’s ALL.

He read the story under the headline with wide eyes. “That’s nothing like the headline implied. That’s such a lie. I thought that at least *their* version would back up the headline... Oh my god. That’s so dishonest.”

NOW he’s starting to get it.

So get with the propaganda bandwagon or get run over. It’s time to use the left’s ammunition against them.

"In other words, they refuse to get "down-and-dirty" as the dims do."

Tell the truth about lies, murder, perversion, and treason committed by demonicrats. Then tell the truth about bringing justice to demonicrats with trial, conviction, sentencing, and hanging.

We can't convict and hang all of the demonicrat traitors, but conservatives can work to educate students in schools so that even years from now, grandchildren will still ask their liberal grandparents, "How close do you come to being hanged as a traitor, Grandpa?"

I’ve been saying this for a long time. Social psych. They first used it to get recycling mandatory. Trying it with global warming but God is in control there and He has a wonderful sense of humor.
