What if I'm not?
My thoughts exactly
Sincerity is most important.
Once you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
When all else fails...revert to Mark Levin approach.
Me either. I don’t toss in any of my beliefs or principals to want them to like me. Too hell with them.
The gist I got from that point was that the lead-in is a straw dog. Like the example about universal health care. We know it's not wonderful or a cure for all ills. But using a starter like "Universal care might be great" is open to a variety of finishes that can define why it isn't. At least that's how I took this point.
For example, "Universal health care might be great, but it hasn't worked very well in Canada or England"...
I’m waiting for the government to socialize the court system and make all lawyers part of a state-run (state-paid) system. That should make them take a gasp at the thought of nationalizing anything ever again.
But you are. The goals are generally good, the method is poison.
Do you want children to have a good education?
Of course you do, who doesn't want children to have a good education?
But the liberal method of ensuring children have a good education will simply ensure that no child has a good education.
I had the same thought, but this is simply used as a ruse, an icebreaker to soften up the subject to further conversation.
Use the islamicly approved “taghiyeh” or lying as an art to promote and protect your mindsets (theirs, religious, yours whatever you choose)
Sympathetic doesn’t mean agreement with. We want to change their minds. We also have to keep in mind that we get farther with politeness rather than buying into their stereotype of what they think a conservative is. Think “big picture”.
[2. Show that you are sympathetic to the liberal’s goals.
What if I’m not? ]
It is actually a great way to devastate a liberal. You say something like: I hate global warming, THOUGH it is kind of scary that most of Earth history is glacial.
Agree while disagreeing.
It throws them off guard.
