Learn To Get What You Want Through Mutual Respect Rather Than With Force

There are 2 ways of getting what you want:

1. With force, rules and a heavy hand
2. With respect, love and affection, and mutual understanding

The art of negotiation requires education, information, experience, awareness, and an arsenal of tools. I’m not an expert in this area but, more often than not, I seem to be able to get what I want. And my approach, more often than not, in achieving persuasion is with a soft touch and through reaching mutual trust.

Rush (Republicans Under Serious Hammering) Limbaugh – Bow To The Leader, People

Rush Limbaugh

Talk about a power vacuum in the Republican Party. Actually, it resembles a rift in the Republican continuum.

Technically, Rush is a Conservative. You may not agree with his views but, like it or not, he’s a force in the American politics. He possesses political powers and capital that very few can match. He’s the de facto leader of the Conservative movement in America today. You don’t believe me? Name someone else. I dare you.

But watch out! He’s also a very intelligent, calculating, and revengeful individual.

He’s intelligent because he has invented the right combination of message, insult and vision to have gathered over 20 million die-hard and uncharacteristically loyal listeners. That’s not easy to achieve. No one can match him.

He’s calculating because he can do the math. In clear absence of a powerful, visionary and proven leader, the Republican party is in desperate need of direction. Limbaugh understands, all too clearly, that this is his chance to unite Conservatives and, hopefully, Republicans. 

He’s revengeful because he has sent a clear message to all Conservatives and Republicans: you’re either with him or you’re against him. Wow, where have I heard that before! Cross Rush and he will destroy your political future. I listen to him a couple of times a week for about 15 minutes as I go to lunch, and his message has been exceptionally clear. Conservatives must unite and destroy liberalism at any cost.

Even Michael Steele has bowed to him in submission → source

Michael Steele told Politico on Monday: “I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. “It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not.”

Rahm Emanuel

I will now pause so you contemplate Limbaugh’s power in amazement. 

It is now clear to everyone that proving Rush is the leader of the right has been the Administration’s plan all along.

Rahm Emanuel must be happy; he got exactly the fight he was seeking. It’ll be a very dangerous and dirty fight. Rush is much more adept at it than Rahm. 

Bets anyone?
