Ping Pong, full court shots, re-writing the play book, not playing the game, and fishing.
So what do I mean?
Ping pong is the game of scoring points against your political adversary by using the media to embarrass, expose, ridicule or otherwise play gotcha. a never ending game in which someone is always getting points and the media has stooped to scoring presidential campaigns openly along these lines rather than based on what a candidates platform is. Ping Pong may win people to your side in a debate but only until the next volley and presently the sportscasters are mostly on one side so overall it is a losing game for conservatives.
Full court shots, instead of sending ping pong balls back and forth basketballs are used. Of course a good heavy attack only comes along once a decade or so. And many are ignored by the sportscasters if they dont fit the agenda. Obamas lie might be a basketball but we just can't count on enough basketballs to win elections. Furthermore the media will so often tell people that the ping pong balls we drop are actually basketballs. conservatives lose this game.
Re-writing the play book. Need I say much more. The politically adept cab always get away with murder bu rigging the game.
Not playing the game. This is what my pastor does. he argues for Christian values and is not involved in politics. On the one hand he diminishes his power to effect positive change but on the other hand his message will not be discounted because it is seen as ping pong balls. As it just so happens people who tend to believe the Christian message also tend to reject the liberal one. I believe the two messages to be antithetical and perhaps the liberals do too explaining their attack on Christianity.
Fishing. This is IMO where the real change is made. This is what the communist did in our college campuses and they are indeed very influential. This is what we did in the Renaissance. This is where the thrust needs to be. Casting a vision is like casting a fishing pole. You put your ideas out there and see who bites. Few will but these few become disciples. But lets compare these results with the results of ping pong. When you volley the ping pong ball you may win half the points for a few moments. But when you teach a man to fish you have taught him for life. So go and be fishers of men and not just in the Christian sense. Tell truth and teach men how to understand truth. These underlying fundamentals will shape every thought they have afterward.
Carry a constitution with you (there is an app for your phone). learn the most basic arguments and skip who played what ping pong ball. When it comes to truth one must be able to discern a counterfeit from the real thing and if you can show people how marxism and other thought are counterfeit and how conservatism is truth you and we will carry theday decade.
