Politics can be confrontational. It can be downright mean. But guess what? It doesn't have to be that way. If you're interested in making a difference, in winning over people for the cause of personal freedom, then there's another way. It's called personal evangelism. It's making a point to talk to someone about their views. Not argue, debate, or throw facts at, it's treating people with respect. It's caring about the conversation, and the value that comes out of it. Having the right mindset when getting into a conversation with someone over political issues is key. It's key to winning people over and gaining respect. Check out the slide show to see what I'm talking about. And if you like it, please share it.
