Assertive Training for Conservatives

Below is from Daniel G. Amen's book Magnificent Mind at Any Age (2008). The tips weren't exactly for conservatives but for anyone trying to be assertive in their life. I copied these tips for conservatives because it's the Left that tends to be angry all the time and demeaning. Although since the Left argues from an emotional point of view some of these tips may not work.

1. Do not give in to the anger of others just because it makes you uncomfortable.
2. Do not allow the opinion of others to control how you feel. Your opinion, within reason, needs to be the one that counts for you. Work on knowing what you think and believe.
3. Say what you mean and stick up for what you believe is right.
4. Maintain self-control. Being angry, mean, or aggressive is not being assertive.
5. Be kind, if possible. But above all be firm in your stance.
