4) Be more about dialogue than monologue. Do we as conservatives have vastly different views and beliefs than liberals about how our country's health, safety, freedom and overall well-being is to be bettered and preserved? Absolutely. Do we have the right, and even the responsibility, to voice those views and to publicly question the reasoning behind opposing views? Most definitely. But to what end? Should we write blogs, tweet tweets, and post Facebook statuses just to hear ourselves jabber? Or to get a lot of "likes" or RT's by our fellow conservatives? Or to ruffle the feathers of our ever-so-stubborn liberal friends? No! We should be about engaging people and persuading them - through dialogue - to see how some of their views are faulty. Preaching at people while being too temper-mental or apathetic to engage in real, productive conversation with them is counter-productive.
