Winning Through Losing: The Art of Concession

04/06/2013 As a former Leftist, Im often asked how to debate the Left and win people to Conservatism. Tell me if this sounds familiar: You feel so right on an issue; so confident in your views. But suddenly, you find yourself sputtering and stammering against arguments thatthough ludicrous--just sound better than yours. Ever been there? Ill bet you have. And theres a reason for it. You see, the Left enjoys two big advantages over us in debate: First, having little to no conscience, theyll say anythingthus forcing us into constant defense mode, having to expose lie after lie. This exhausts us, while keeping us from making our points (and yes, Lefties do this on purpose). Second, since their highest goal is to control people, they know the value of hiding that goal. This they do through selectively conceding points and that, my friends, is the topic of todays article. Before I describe this tactic, why is it the Lefts advantage? Why indeed! Fact is, this tactic works better for us than Leftists (I use it all the time), but Conservatives have come to view any concessions in debate as surrender. Give an inch, and theyll take a mile! they sayand on foundational issues of principle, theyre quite right. The Left really does work incrementally, but we mustnt let that scare us out of sound strategy. Dont ever let your opponent dictate the game. Trust me on this. Thats where Democrats seize the

advantage. Let me show you a great example of Selective Concession (hereon, SC): In yesterdays article, I ranted against a line from President Obamas Gun Control speech in Denver. He allowed an opening, so I took itand besides, I was furious. But most of his speech was outstanding, because it employed SC in ways that, I assure you, frustrated any Conservatives who were listening. I guarantee that many Conservatives felt outmaneuvered; outsold. Heres an early passage: From the beginning of this effort, weve wanted law enforcement front and center in shaping this discussion and the reforms that emerge from it because law enforcement lives this every day. Law enforcement are the first to see the terrible consequences of any kind of violence, certainly gun violence lives lost, families broken, communities that are changed forever. Theyre very often in the line of fire. The law enforcement knows what works and what doesnt, and so we wanted that experience and that advice. Notice how Obama sets up his proposals as coming from a trusted sourcelaw enforcement. Submerging his notorious arrogance, Obama selectively concedes mastery of the topic to someone else. The result? Obama comes off as the fellow learner, not the lecturerand who doesnt trust a fellow learner? Fellow learners dont control us, right? So before even discussing points, Obama uses SC to frame himself not as an advocate, but as a humble student wishing only to share the trusted wisdom he has received. Sound good? Oh, hes only getting started. Lets fast-forward: There doesnt have to be a conflict between protecting our citizens and protecting our Second Amendment rights. Ive got stacks of letters in my office from proud gun owners, whether theyre for sport, or protection, or collection, who tell me how deeply they cherish their rights, dont want them infringed upon, but they still want us to do something to stop the epidemic of gun violence. And I appreciate every one of those letters. And Ive learned from them. Got that? More SC, now reframing himself as learning from traditional opponents, not advocating against them. Moving on: Aurora is very much a purple city. Its got a majority Republican city council; a majority of the state legislators are Democrat. But they came together understanding that out of this tragedy there had to be something that made sense. And so weve seen enacted tougher background checks that wont infringe on the rights of responsible gun owners, but will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. Ah, now hes selectively conceding the notion that only Democrats have the answers. This creates an air of bipartisanship (dishonestly of course, but remember; Democrats dont do conscience). By the way, the Democrats in his audience (which was virtually all Democrat) knew full well that he didnt really believe in Republican virtues. As a former Democrat, I can say this will full confidence. Its like atheist Democrats not minding when their candidates act like Christians in order to win elections. Democrats dont care about anything but winning, since only winning can get them control over their fellow citizens. In fact, Democrats are so well-trained in this deception, they even applaud these lines. Moving on: Now, some say, well, we already have background checks. And theyre right. Over the past 20 years, those background checks have kept more than 2 million dangerous people from buying a gun. Now hes selectively conceding an actual pointand look how well it works! Look how open he appears; how

reasonable! Theres a couple more of these coming up, but right now, I want to share how the Left view s Selective Concessions: They see them as pure gold. For a skilled Leftist (not the clumsy ones we sometimes witness on Hannity), the first task in forming any argument is to find those areas of your opponents views that you can concede, because these comprise the gold that will purchase your victory. Whereas the Right foolishly tries to hide or evade SC, the Left seeks it out. Worse yet, when we hide or evade our opponents valid points, it only makes those points look all the better when our opponents voice them. Basically, the usual strategy on the Right is Debate Suicide. We dont see the gold. And then, we find ourselves dumbfounded by the effectiveness of an Obama speech proposing absolutely wretched policies on Gun Control. Let me give just one more example from Obamas speech, and try to imagine how uncomfortable and outmaneuvered youd feel as a Republican watching this at work in a room full of open-minded, independent employees: How do you rebuild some trust? And I told the story about two conversations I had. The first conversation was when Michelle came back from doing some campaigning out in rural Iowa. And we were sitting at dinner, and she had been to like a big county, a lot of driving out there, a lot of farmland. And she said, if I was living out in a farm in Iowa, Id probably want a gun, too. If somebody just drives up into your driveway and youre not home you dont know who these people are and you dont know how long its going to take for the sheriffs to respond. I can see why youd want some guns for protection. Oh no! Now hes conceding a point! Hes giving an inch, so well take a mile! Hardly. Obama knows exactly what hes doing (actually, his writers do, but its the same thing). By conceding this point, he gives much greater legitimacy to all his other points. Do you get the idea? SC is a miracle device; that gold lining you can find in the cloud of your opponents argument. Look for stuff on which you agree and lead with itits quite simple. Could I defeat Obamas speech? Oh easily, and so could you! Throughout his speech, Obama made points that were rife with poor reasoning, and the way to attack them was by undercutting his assumptions showing his statements to be unreliablebut unfortunately, I dont have time to describe this here. Another time, perhaps. Instead, let me share an example of how Ive used SCon this same topic. This is a paraphrase, of courseI cant remember the whole talk. But a couple days ago, I was faced with a hardcore Leftist who was preaching Gun Control to those around him. Rather than talk over him or beat him down, I let him rage on for a couple minutes. Then, I spoke (Ill call him Bob): Me: Bob, it sounds like youre saying that you dont feel comfortable knowing there are guns all over the place. Well, good! Id be worried if you got a thrill from the presence of guns! Bob: Absolutely! You never know when someone will have a bad day, and I dont want them packing when they do! Me: And of course, we want to make as sure as possible that guns arent in the hands of dangerous people, right? I mean, while anyone can have a bad day, we usually have knives nearby, but we dont just grab them and start slicing away. The big concern is the crazies, like the kid who shot up that theatre. Bob: Oh sure! We need background checks. Me: What would you want those checks to look for?

Bob: Well, criminal histories, I guess. Drug use Me: How about psychosis? You know, mental illness, psychiatric counseling Bob: Oh sure, those are important. Me: I agree! I mean, every one of those recent mass killings were committed by psychotics who showed lots of signs, but we just ignored those signs because our system keeps protecting this group or that, this condition or thatwe need to stop protecting groups and just look at each person. Bob: Absolutely. (Notice how Bobs temper has gone down. And while those around us were previously being drawn in to Bobs views and distrusting Conservatives, they now see mea known Conservativeas the more reasonable one. Thanks to SC, theyll trust almost anything I saythough unlike a Leftist, I wont use that to unfair advantage) Me: Look, bottom line, I want fewer people being killed. But we have to keep two things in mind: First, all these mass killings happened in Gun Free Zones. Every one of these mass killers specifically targeted places where no one would shoot back. Second, none of these killers would even have thought of obeying laws that limit how much ammo you can carry. I mean, does anyone here seriously think that the kid who entered a Gun Free theatre with intent to kill innocent lives would actually restrict his ammo because, you know, he wouldnt want to break the law? Seriously? (laughter) Me: So let me ask a few really simple questions: 1. If virtually all mass killings happen in Gun Free Zones, why would we want more Gun Free Zones?

2. Until we can guarantee that criminals will be limited by these lawsand no ones dumb enough to think thatthen these restrictions will only guarantee that the victims will be less armed than those who would do them harm. Do we really want that? 3. One Senatorwho happened to be a Democrat, but Id feel the same whatever his Partyactually lectured young mothers on how much ammunition would be appropriate for protecting their children from intruders. I mean, is that his call? Jeez, I think that should be the mothers call! How does he know how many intruders will enter her home, or whether theyll limit themselves to legal ammo levels? 4. What ifbefore we start disarming victims and lowering the ammunition carried by law-abiding citizens what if we instead secured our border to stop much of this inflow of drugs and violence into our country? And once we close off the borders, what if we then actually enforced the laws already on the books and started disarming these gangs and crazies? Right now, were securing nothing, disarming no one who ignores our laws, and instead were disarming the easy people who want to obey the lawsbut theyre not the ones Im worried about! I mean, are you? (By this point, even the Leftist was nodding in agreement--which surprised me. The others were completely won over. To finish it off, I used SC one more time) Me: But hey, background checks are great! Guns are too dangerous to be sold to just anyone, right? I guess my only concern is, who would oversee the checks? I mean, does anyone here wake up in the morning saying, Man, I sure trust my government! (laughter) Me: So lets get a good system in place, but lets also be careful just how much power were giving to politicians. I mean, they always look the other way when their buddies are involved. I know thats walking a difficult tightrope, but the safety of kids and communities is worth more than simplistic answers where we just disarm the easy people. We can do better.

Understand, Im pretty experienced in this, but you dont have to say all the right things. What really matters is Selective Concession. Just look for that gold in any conversation--those areas where you can grant validity to your opponent, and how you enjoy learning from people on all sidesand the rest of your points will sound 1000% better! In so doing, you wont be giving up on your principles; youll be protecting them. And maybejust maybeyour opponents can start sputtering and stammering.

Propaganda from the Common Core pages:

Myths About Content and Quality: General

10

Myth: Adopting common standards will bring all states standards down to the lowest common denominator, which means states with high standards, such as Massachusetts, will be taking a step backwards if they adopt the Standards. Fact: The Standards are designed to build upon the most advanced current thinking about preparing all Students for success in college and their careers. This will result in moving even the best state standards to the next level. In fact, since this work began, there has been an explicit agreement that no state would lower its standards. The Standards were informed by the best in the country, the highest international standards, and evidence and expertise about educational outcomes. We need college and career ready standards because even in highperforming states students are graduating and passing all the required tests and still require remediation in their postsecondary work. Myth: The Standards are not internationally benchmarked. Fact: International benchmarking played a significant role in both sets of standards. In fact, the college and career ready standards include an appendix listing the evidence that was consulted in drafting the standards and the international data consulted in the benchmarking process is included in this appendix. More evidence from international sources will be presented together with the final draft. Myth: The Standards only include skills and do not address the importance of content knowledge. Fact: The Standards recognize that both content and skills are important. In Englishlanguage arts, the Standards require certain critical content for all students, including: classic myths and stories from around the world, Americas Founding Documents, foundational American literature, and Shakespeare. Appropriately, the remaining crucial decisions about what content should be taught are left to state and local determination. In addition to content coverage, the Standards require that students systematically acquire knowledge in literature and other disciplines through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. In Mathematics, the Standards lay a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. Taken together, these elements support a students ability to learn and apply more demanding math concepts and procedures. The middle school and high school standards call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges; they prepare students to think and reason mathematically. The Standards set a rigorous definition of college and career readiness, not by piling topic upon topic, but by demanding that students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly do

Myths About Content and Quality: Englishlanguage arts

Myth: The Standards suggest teaching Grapes of Wrath to second graders. Fact: The ELA Standards suggest Grapes of Wrath as a text that would be appropriate for 9th or 10th grade readers. Evidence shows that the complexity of texts students are reading today does not match what is demanded in college and the workplace, creating a gap between what high school students can do and what they need to be able to do. The Common Core State Standards create a staircase of increasing text complexity, so that students are expected to both develop their skills and apply them to more and more complex texts. 11

Myth: The Standards are just vague descriptions of skills; they dont include a reading list or any other similar reference to content. Fact: The Standards do include sample texts that demonstrate the level of text complexity appropriate for the grade level and compatible with the learning demands set out in the Standards. The exemplars of high quality texts at each grade level provide a rich set of possibilities and have been very well received. This provides teachers with the flexibility to make their own decisions about what texts to use while providing an excellent reference point when selecting their texts. Myth: English teachers will be asked to teach science and social studies reading materials. Fact: With the Common Core ELA Standards, English teachers will still teach their students literature as well as literary nonfiction. However, because college and career readiness overwhelming focuses on complex texts outside of literature, these standards also ensure students are being prepared to read, write, and research across the curriculum, including in history and science. These goals can be achieved by ensuring that teachers in other disciplines are also focusing on reading and writing to build knowledge within their subject areas. Myth: The Standards dont have enough emphasis on fiction/literature Fact: The Standards require certain critical content for all students, including: classic myths and stories from around the world, Americas Founding Documents, foundational American literature, and Shakespeare. Appropriately, the remaining crucial decisions about what content should be taught are left to state and local determination. In addition to content coverage, the Standards require that students systematically acquire knowledge in literature and other disciplines through reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

Myths About Content and Quality: Math

Myth: The Standards do not prepare or require students to learn Algebra in the 8th grade, as many states current standards do. Fact: The Standards do accommodate and prepare students for Algebra 1 in 8th grade, by including the prerequisites for this course in grades K7. Students who master the K7material will be able to take Algebra 1 in 8th grade. At the same time, grade 8 standards are also included; these include rigorous algebra and will transition students effectively into a full Algebra 1 course. Myth: Key math topics are missing or appear in the wrong grade. Fact: The mathematical progressions presented in the common core are coherent and based on evidence. Part of the problem with having 50 different sets of state standards is that today, different states cover different topics at different grade levels. Coming to consensus guarantees that from the viewpoint of any given state, topics will move up or down in the grade level sequence. This is unavoidable. What is important to keep in mind is that the progression in the Common Core State Standards is mathematically coherent and leads to college and career readiness at an internationally competitive level.

Myths About Process

Myth: No teachers were involved in writing the Standards. 12

Fact: The common core state standards drafting process relied on teachers and standards experts from across the country. In addition, there were many state experts that came together to create the most thoughtful and transparent process of standard setting. This was only made possible by many states working together. For more information, please visit: www.corestandards.org Myth: The Standards are not research or evidence based. Fact: The Standards have made careful use of a large and growing body of evidence. The evidence base includes scholarly research; surveys on what skills are required of students entering college and workforce training programs; assessment data identifying college and careerready performance; and comparisons to standards from highperforming states and nations. In English language arts, the Standards build on the firm foundation of the NAEP frameworks in Reading and Writing, which draw on extensive scholarly research and evidence. In Mathematics, the Standards draw on conclusions from TIMSS and other studies of highperforming countries that the traditional US mathematics curriculum must become substantially more coherent and focused in order to improve student achievement, addressing the problem of a curriculum that is a mile wide and an inch deep.

Myths About Implementation

Myth: The Standards tell teachers what to teach. Fact: The best understanding of what works in the classroom comes from the teachers who are in them. Thats why these standards will establish what students need to learn, but they will not dictate how teachers should teach. Instead, schools and teachers will decide how best to help students reach the standards. Myth: The Standards will be implemented through NCLB signifying the federal government will be leading them. Fact: The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a stateled effort that is not part of No Child Left Behind and adoption of the Standards is in no way mandatory. States began the work to create clear, consistent standards before the Recovery Act or the Elementary and Secondary Education Act blueprint were released because this work is being driven by the needs of the states, not the federal government. Myth: These Standards amount to a national curriculum for our schools. Fact: The Standards are not a curriculum. They are a clear set of shared goals and expectations for what knowledge and skills will help our students succeed. Local teachers, principals, superintendents and others will decide how the standards are to be met. Teachers will continue to devise lesson plans and tailor instruction to the individual needs of the students in their classrooms. http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CoreFacts.pdf

How to Get Involved in Local Politics

Sometimes it's hard to imagine one person making a difference in this world. A lot of challenges face our society. Some are huge, some are more manageable, but all require the action of at least one person. Start making the world a better place by being that person on the local level. Get involved in local politics and see the world change before your eyes.

13

1 Participate in town meetings. Mingle with local, state and federal politicians. Learn

about the issues facing your community. Meet others who support the same causes you do. Voice your opinion and see what offices in politics appeal to you.

2 Show your support of the political system by voting in every election. More importantly, bring others to
the polls with you. Talk about the issues with people and inspire them to let their opinions be heard through their votes .

3 Help out at a local political office. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican, Democrat or a member of

the Green Party, all political parties need volunteers. Work one on one with them and learn the political process. Network with others involved in local politics. Get in on the ground floor and learn the ropes. Look into volunteering for organizations who promote causes like the environment, health care, campaign finance or immigration reform .
o

4 Start your own political organization. Whether it's a local off-shoot of a nationwide campaign or it's
specific to a cause no one has addressed politically, get it going. Involve your friends and family. Have rallies, fundraisers, seminars or even a bowling night. The idea is to spread your passion for the cause and get others to join you.

5 Start a petition on the Internet. Instead of knocking on doors or stopping people at the mall, get people
involved with an online petition. Involve yourself in online political blogs. Post your opinions and get others to join in with you.

6 Put yourself out there and run for local office. Civic offices come up for re-election all the time. Find a
position you know you could excel in and start your campaign. Call your local political party and ask if there are offices up for election. Take to the streets and let people know you are the person for the job.

How to Get Involved in the Republican Party

There are a variety of reasons to get involved in the efforts of the Republican Party. You might believe in gun rights, be pro-life, or wish for fewer taxes. Of course, you may simply think that the Democratic Partys choices for candidates at the presidential, senatorial, or congressional level are not th e best choices. There are any number of reasons and issues to get involved with the Republican Party, so when you are ready to join, follow these steps.
1. o

1 Have a valid voter

registration card and if you dont have one, get one. If you feel strongly about this party and their beliefs, register as a Republican. However you dont have to register as a Republican if you don't want to. You can register as an NPA, (no party affiliation) as an Independent or even a Democrat.

2 Do as much research as possible on the Republican Party. Make sure that the issues the party

represents are issues that you believe in and that the candidates representing the party are people you hold in high regard.

14

3 You may wish to support a particular candidate for local government, or state government or you may 4 When you contact the appropriate party office, make sure you have a plan for how you want to be

want to support Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate , or Congress and perhaps even the Republican Partys presidential candidate. Once you have figured out at what level you wish to participate, contact the appropriate party office and ask how you can get more involved.
o

involved in the Republican Party. Your involvement could be as simple as making a donation, or you could volunteer your time by handing out literature or manning a phone at a call center. Most people involved in the Republican Party are volunteers. You may wish to become some sort of aid or spokesperson for a particular candidate as well, but these positions are usually staffed by people close to the candidate. These positions usually require some sort of education in politics, law or the media.
o

5 Joining a Republican state party might be just the ticket for you. You can volunteer to answer phones,
pass out literature, or something as simple as making a donation. This is all that is required to join your state's Republican party. Also, your Republican state party will deal with issues in your state that may be closer to your areas of interest.

6 Join the Republican National Committee. You can go right to their website and enter in your

information (see Resources). Tell them a little bit about yourself and what you would like to do for their organization. You may want to become a volunteer or even take a job with the Republican National Committee.
