We all know them, no matter where we go, or what we do. These are the tactics they use, may as well list 'em!

1. Winning is the ONLY goal. Any means justify the end.

2. Always kill the messenger, ie attack and discredit the person you are talking to rather than the actual subject, theory, policy, act, etc. under discussion.

3. Bear false witness against fellow human beings. ie. make up 'bad deeds', with NO proof just to bolster your view.

4. Never apologize. Be absolutely convinced that your opinion is the only one worth hearing.

5. Never admit you might or have ever been wrong.

6. Become an artist at name calling and insult.

7. Try to convince the opponent he’s crazy because he won’t agree with your duplicity.

8. Always use God/Moral authority or superior education/intellect for your opinion, fact based or not.

9. Never answer a direct question with a yes or no answer. Easier to change with the wind tomorrow.

10. Use the race card, the greatest marketing tool of the 21st century! If that fails, grab the victim card, the second greatest marketing tool. Or just convince them you're more powerful and scare away the opposition.
