traditional values vs. modern humanism, December 22, 2005
This review is from: Confrontational politics (Paperback)
Former Senator H. L. Richardson discusses his theories that the major conflict in modern politics and public policy is based on a fundamental battle between traditional values and contemporary humanist dogma.
Richardson writes that the tendancy of one who is rooted in the traditional views of courtesy, civility and directness is to be reluctant to challenge a political adversary in a confrontational manner. This allows them to be turned around into a defensive position during an exchange with a humanist, who has no such reluctance. He states that the old Marxist postulate of "the ends justify the means" fit firmly into the philosophy of most humanists.
He states that the traditional American avoids and repels from conflict, while a humanist is drawn to it as a nescessary means for change and enacting their agenda. This difference puts traditionalists at a competitive disadvantage.
Ricahrdson continues that he believes conservatives must accept the premises of confrontational politics to successfully battle the political left and abandon the desire for compromise, as compromise is simply moving the world to the left in smaller increments.
Only 135 pages, Confrontational Politics is a good read that will make you think about the tactics of public policy "war" before and while you engage in political battle.

Excellent for Gun Owners, December 20, 2006
This review is from: Confrontational politics (Paperback)
If you're a gun owner you MUST get this 135 page book! The author addresses the classic conservative pi** and moan syndrome, how leftists (closet communists) operate and what to do about it. This man knows what he's talking about being a Senator for 22 years in an ultra-left state (California) and being the founder of Gun Owners of America.
Read, learn, act!

A must read for Conservatives who have to live in a world with LIBTARDS, April 3, 2010
This review is from: Confrontational politics (Paperback)
This is a great book that identifies the foundational reasons that libtards think the way they do and how they can lie without guilt. It is a mind blower to all of us who were taught to play fair and be an honest and upright person... knowing this info will level the playing field and allow us to beat them at their own game - a game that could cost us our country and our freedom!
