This is the '48 Laws of Power' written in more of an idealist, activist tone.      source

If you want to know the tactics of the Democrats, you must read this book. If you understand their tactics, you'll be less likely to fall into their traps & better able to defeat them in conversation, in communication, in appearance, in reputation, in policy, & frankly, in life.      source

@jeffld Read book by a former Soviet spy that figured out that there was a God when his 1st child was born. The miracle of life transformed him. Read Saul Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals". Dedicated to the big "L". BTW not in the old testament. "The Satan" means prosecutor. Ego amuck!      source
