6. All boils down to refusal to accept responsibility for what they do.
If anyone won't go along with their exploits, they cry foul. Much like spoiled children, they will not fess up to what they do and the fact that others may have legitimate complaints with their actions.

Too many times, the ploy has worked; people have backed down and let them get away with murder. So now, when they get slapped down, they will fuss more than usual. Anyone familiar with efforts at behavior modification will tell you there is generally an increase in unwanted behavior when it suddenly fails to get the expected response. The trick is to stand like a wall and hold your ground. The DLC doesn't understand this and too often gives up righteous fights as soon as some neocon twit calls them Big Meanies.
