At least now they're upfront about the fact it's our duty to embrace the "winning" tactics of Bolsheviks and tailor our strategies to the left's playing field.
Askel5, you've met me so please don't think I'm flaming or talking down.
Many tactics and/or strategies are value nuetral, meaning that either side can use them without lessoning tha values that they espouse. Even when they are NOT value nuetral, and we would not use them, we need to study them in order to plan an effective countermeasure.
I heard no one at the conference, speaker or attendee, say that we need to use ALL the demonrats tactics or strategies. There are some tactics and strategies, however, that would be suitable for a conservative to use also.
Please don't misunderstand me, I don't agree with some of the tactics used by demonrats but there are some that they use with much greater success, that we COULD use also with just as much success if we only would. Many times, IMO, a conservative will NOT use the very same tactic ONLY because the demonrats use it.
Just because a demonrat uses a particular tactic/strategy does not mean that a conservative cannot use the same tactic/strategy, as long as it is not counter to the integral core belief that is needed by all conservatives.
