Digby: A Liberal's Handbook

Bill Sher of Liberal Oasis has a new book and it's a great guide for those who are looking for common sense arguments to use as an activist and in your every day life.

Here's an example:

Promote the Three R's of Liberal Government

Don't refer to "the government" and feed the image of a distant, oppressive entity. Always speak of "our government," to accurately paint government as an extension of the people that we control and direct.

Don't accept that the core debate between Democrats and Republicans is whether government should be big or small. Define liberal government as representative, responsive, and responsible and conservative government as elitist, callous and reckless.
