This program will discuss will discuss the importance of framing the debate and the terminology in order to properly address the issues. Your opponent will try to discredit you and marginalize you by depicting you as completely disconnected from the body of conventional wisdom. They will portray you as an outlier or extremist while never justifying why your views are considered extreme. They will use your appearance as well as your rhetoric to accomplish their objective of discrediting you and thus win the debate. Your job is to portray yourself as a well-groomed, knowledgeable and responsible citizen who bases his argument on sound, well-established principles, and thus expose your opponent as the outlier and extremist whose views are totally against conventional wisdom, thus portraying them as being the extremists.

A classic case of an individual embracing the label of extremist, and thus marginalizing himself and his policies, which were Constitutional and traditional (strong national defense, protection of our free economy, and safeguarding our civil and religious liberty), and which were, and are, mainstream and anything but extremist, occurred in 1964. The individual who embraced the label of extremist was Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican Party candidate for US President running against Lyndon Johnson, the incumbent US President at the time and an extremely corrupt and vulgar individual.

During a speech at the Republican Party convention in 1964, Barry Goldwater made the following statement: “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” According to commentator David Knight, the speech writer who wrote the speech for Barry Goldwater was a man who wore a ponytail and earrings in 1964. By displaying such a bizarre appearance, especially in 1964, he physically illustrated how disconnected he was from contemporary society. (1 Corinthians 11:14

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?) If you have a good product, you should put it into an attractive package. The speech writer seemed to be a man who enjoyed being a gadfly and outlier, and thus bringing attention to himself. This is a terrible strategy to employ if you want to convince the public, who are being bombarded with disinformation. By embracing the label “extremist,” Barry Goldwater did the work of his opponents. All they had to do was to keep harping on him as being an extremist. One of Barry Goldwater’s slogans was: “In your heart, you know I’m right.” His opponents would respond: “Yes, far right.” Not surprisingly, Barry Goldwater lost by a landslide.

What I have just recounted is more than ancient history, since the strategy of framing the debate to win the argument is as new as tomorrow. But there is another aspect of the Barry Goldwater self-destruction. Some people still venerate the statement “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue” because it showed an uncompromising commitment on the part of Barry Goldwater to make a strong statement in support of liberty. Thus, they have fallen into the trap into which Barry Goldwater unwittingly fell. He could have shown his uncompromising support for the principles of liberty without portraying himself as an extremist had he used different wording, such as “passionate defense of liberty is no vice, and apathy in the face of corruption is no virtue.” Actively defending liberty is not just the duty of the super patriot; it is the duty of every citizen to ensure that the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens are protected, and that corruption is exposed, and corrupt officials held accountable. Any less commitment on the part of the citizenry will quickly jeopardize our Constitutional republic, and with it, our civil and religious liberties.
