CONSERVATIVE DEBATE HANDBOOK
***INTRODUCTION***


(Defining Issues--The Logistics of Pragmatic Political Debate)


SYNOPSIS
The natural advantage of Conservatism in defense of what has been found valid in past experience versus wishful/windborne values of modern "Liberalism"; questions which must be answered to put any proposed change into context of reality; unproven assumptions that underlie all Collectivist movements.
This "handbook" is intended to instruct young Conservatives in the art of political debate: Not from the standpoint of participation in an Oxonian debating society, but from how best to demonstrate a clear advantage before a public gathering seeking direction rather than amusement. While the techniques of analysis and presentation, to be explored, would be efficacious for any form of public disputation; here, the interested student will learn a focused methodology particularly suited to the specialized confrontation between the American tradition and Collectivist "Liberalism" in any of its forms. Here, the intelligent, mentally organized, High School graduate can learn all that he or she will ever need to dismantle the intellectual pretensions of any Collectivist "Liberal," anywhere, any time.

One needs first to understand the natural advantage to the Conservative position, as opposed to the alternatives; an advantage derived from the very nature of human society and from the Conservative motivation. While there have been periods in the history of almost every folk or nation, where a generation or two went astray--as in America since 1930--it is only logical that the general course of any human social development will reflect the nature of those developing. Anything else defies reason. Conservatives are those who by instinct appreciate what is valuable in the historic struggle and achievements of their society. We are thus the heirs to a vast amount of mental effort, soul searching, trial and error over many generations, by those intent to find the best course, based upon all past experience, on which to navigate the future. We are the heirs to the layers of foundations and the builders of civilizations.



The modern "Liberal" has none of these advantages. He is the attacker, the despoiler. But so long as we allow the "Liberal" to set the parameters of debate, to define the issues, the "Liberal" is able to engage on no worse than equal terms. Yet the Conservative position has a context based upon human experience, while the "Liberal" has only a wish list.
