That’s a good suggestion too - I’ve always wanted to read “The Art of War”.
I’m still leaning towards the book about Progressives - somehow I’d like to know more about how these people think. Knowing that info could be very, very helpful in defeating them.
I had thought that it would be similar to Macchiavelli’s The Prince. I have since learned that it’s not. It’s apparently more similar to the Mahabharata. I’m not sure that reading about actual military formations and theory would interest me. I’m more into the mind games. So the book about Progressives would work for me, too. But in the end, I do believe that the key is to bring shame back because the truth is that people now feel free to confess not just their ignorance of a particular argument, but to proudly announce how closed their minds are. Women *love* to tell me how dumb they are by announcing that they didn’t understand Palin’s resignation speech. I offer to recount it in 4 languages, but they just laugh like twits. I believe that our society has lost a lot in losing it’s sense of shame and I wonder if we lost it during the Clinton presidency or as a result thereof.
