Rules for Conservatives
Self | March 16, 2009 | Marshall Thompson

Posted on 03/16/2009 8:09:13 PM PDT by marshall_t

I have felt like conservatives need a set of rules to counter the "Rules for Radicals" written by Saul Alinsky. This is my first draft. Comments and ideas are solicited.


TOPICS: Philosophy; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: conservative; principles

You don’t have to do a lot of distillation, they’re all there together in one of the final chapters. It’s communications but also tactics and persuasion.

Very good.

For each numbered item, I recommend a 2-or-3-word heading at the start of the paragraph, in bold. Example:

3. RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). <<<BOLD. This is the text of the paragraph where we explain what rinos are and make our points about rinos.

Those bold “paragraph headings” make a sort of “bullet list” so people can follow the list and easily spot the key ideas. This way, they don’t have to re-read the entire page to remind themselves what the key points are.

It also makes it easier to communicate to new people, since the key points are “named” and distilled down to basics by those bold keywords.

I know. I’ve read it. I’ve advocated the tactics being used to fight the liberals. Use their playbook to defeat them.
