When I first came here, I asked the FReepers for reading recommendations and action plans. They taught me a lot.)
Very thoughtful. I wish I would have done that. Any suggestions you want to share with me?
Yes. You can ask questions on a thread subject you want to learn more about, and the FReepers are usually very generous in terms of reading recommendations and information and strategies for addressing perplexing situations. The publications that helped me the most in terms of learning leftist strategies were Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” Bernay’s “Propaganda,” and the “Twenty-five Rules of Disinformation.” They also recommend books that are valuable on a personal level, e.g., Boundaries by St. Cloud, anything by Dinesh D’Souza, etc. (Don’t quote me on the titles, spelling, etc. Please see tagline snorkle-chortle.)
Happy studying, and if you find something that really floats your boat, please ping me. Gotta lot to learn :)
Oops—one more thing—you can ask about the resident experts and keepers of the pings. For example, Quix has a very unique perspective on all things Asian, and is generous w/his info. (I don’t really know people’s genders here, so please excuse any goofs.) Websites like the Cato Institute have informative publications (some people object because they have a Libertarian slant, I think, but I’m not gonna be picky when I’m being armed w/facts.) Glenn Beck’s research notes are a treasure trove of information, and you can follow his citation trail and do your own digging, too.
Townhall has fun articles (Michelle Malkin, Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, et al.)
Have a blast!
