#[[Liberal desensitizing|Desensitization]]. <ref>David Kupelian, [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49958 How Ohio State University is marketing evil] "Desensitization," these two gay marketing gurus tell us, consists of inundating the public in a "continuous flood of gay-related advertising, presented in the least offensive fashion possible. If straights can't shut off the shower, they may at least eventually get used to being wet."
"The main thing," they confide, "is to talk about gayness until the issue becomes thoroughly tiresome," adding: "[S]eek desensitization and nothing more. … If you can get [straights] to think [homosexuality] is just another thing – meriting no more than a shrug of the shoulders – then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won." See [[homosexual obsession]].</ref>
#Jamming. <ref>David Kupelian, [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49958 How Ohio State University is marketing evil] "Jamming," explains marketing expert Paul E. Rondeau of Regent University, in his comprehensive study "Selling Homosexuality to America," "is psychological terrorism meant to silence expression of or even support for dissenting opinion." Radio counselor Dr. Laura Schlessinger experienced big-time jamming during the run-up to her planned television show. Outraged over a single comment critical of homosexuals she had made on her radio program, activists launched a massive intimidation campaign against the television program's advertisers. As a result, the new show was stillborn. </ref> <ref>Jennifer Harper [http://www.washingtontimes.com/article/20071004/NATION/110040047/1002 Liberals targeting radio hosts], ''The Washington Times", October 4, 2007.</ref>
#Conversion. <ref>David Kupelian, [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49958 How Ohio State University is marketing evil] "We mean conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and will, through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media. We mean "subverting" the mechanism of prejudice to our own ends – using the very processes that made America hate us to turn their hatred into warm regard – whether they like it or not."</ref>
#Undermining [[religion]].

#Portraying criminals and miscreants as being [[conservative]] when, in fact, they are not.
#Dismissing valid conservative criticism for no reason.
#Using the term "conservative" as a [[pejorative]].
#Insisting on "globalist" terms and phrasing to the detriment of [[American]] English and meanings. This is an anti-American effort to promote "one worldism."

==Examples==
*[[Liberals]] tried to interrupt [[Phyllis Schlafly]] from speaking when she was awarded an honorary degree at [[Washington University]].
*By not allowing prayer in [[public school]], liberals are undermining religion.
*[[Hollywood values]] capture youth and expose them to [[liberal values]].

Please add to the list or adjust priorities, or add examples (as references) to illustrate how these liberal tools are used.

Warhammer

NicolBolas: /* Setting */

'''Warhammer Fantasy Battle''' is a tabletop wargame set in the fictional fantasy setting of the Warhammer World. The game is based around two or more players who use large number of painted plastic and pewter figurines to fight a battle using rules set out in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Rulebook.

==History==
The game was first written in 1983 by Bryan Ansell, Richard Halliwell and Rick Priestley and has had new editions of the rules released every four to six years since then. The latest edition (8th Edition) was released on the 10th of July 2010.

==Gameplay==
The game uses large numbers of figures in 25-28mm scale to fight out battles on a 'board'. The board is typically rectangular with dimensions of 4' wide and 4' to 8' long. While the figures are nominally in 28mm scale, they are actually a bit larger than other 28mm figures on the market and as a consequence are often referred to as 'Heroic' 28mm scale.

Dice, a tape measure and a set of templates are needed to play the game. Each figure or group of figures is assigned a set of values and rules to represent it's strength, skill with weapons, leadership ability, weaponry, etc. These details are found in 'Army Books' that are released for each new edition of the game. A single army book will contain all the rules, statistics and background information needed to use one race in a game, as well as often providing painting and tactical advice.

==Setting==
The game is set in an unnamed world often referred to as the 'Warhammer World.' It is populated by a collection of the more traditional fantasy races (Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Undead, etc) as well as some more unusual ones such as the reptilian Lizardmen, the rodent Skaven, the monstrous Ogre Kingdoms and several nations of Men. The main antagonists are the servants of the 4 Gods of Chaos (Khorne, Nurgle, Slannesh and Tzeentch.) These gods are embodiments of the 4 destructive forces of nature and the human psyche (respectively Rage/Murder/Martial pride/Honor, Despair/Decay/Destruction/Rebirth, Hedonism/Indulgence/Excess/Perfection and Change/Evolution/Intrigue/Sorcery.)

==The Black Library==
Warhammer has had many books taking place in Warhammer World. All of these books are categorized in the black library. Novelists writing for The Black Library include Dan Abnett, Mike Lee, and Graham McNeil. Books in the black library include the Malus Darkblade series and the Time of Legends series.

The setting was initially heavily influenced by the works of Tolkien and Michael Moorcock but has since mangaed to entrench itself in the public conciousness with many features (i.e orcs having green skin and relatively advanced dwarvish technology) becoming adopted by other games and franchises, such as the Warcraft games, and many authors and roleplayers now unknowingly use ideas that first appeared in the Warhammer World.

==Online Edition==
A Warhammer [[MMORPG]] published by Mythic Entertainment <ref>http://www.warhammeronline.com/</ref> was released on September 16, 2008 to generally favorable reviews.<ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/warhammeronline?q=warhammer%20online</ref>

Magic (card game)

2012-11-06T00:01:08Z

NicolBolas: /* Colors */

'''Magic: The Gathering''' is a [[strategy]] [[card game]] which lets players take the role of dueling [[Wizard_(fiction)|wizards]] who can summon creatures to fight for them. One defeats his opponent by reducing his life points down to zero or by being the last one with cards remaining in his draw pile.

The game consists of numerous elements from various fantasy worlds, including magic, [[elf|elves]], [[dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]], [[dragon]]s, mana, [[orc]]s, and so forth. One of the reasons for keeping the game limited to the size of a small deck of cards was so that it could be easily taken along to, and played at, gaming conventions.<ref>''The Coming CCG Storm: 1993-1995'' "A Brief History of Game" (2006) [http://www.rpg.net/columns/briefhistory/briefhistory1.phtml RPGnet] Accessed 31 December 2007.</ref>

Its creator is Richard Garfield and the game is owned by [[Wizards of the Coast]], the same firm that publishes [[Dungeons and Dragons]]. The full name of the game uses a subtitle, i.e., Magic: The Gathering.

== Colors ==
Magic cards come in five colors, representing the different aspects of magic: red (destruction, fire and mountains), blue ([[deceit]], water, islands), white (Order, yet sometimes confused for good; light, plains), green (nature, animals and forests), and black (ambition, yet sometimes confused with evil; death, decay, swamps). Additionally, there are colorless cards (artifacts) which are associated with no color and multicolored cards which are associated with two or more colors of magic.

Some cards represent creatures, which are summoned to attack and defend. Other spells can be used to attack other players, bolster ones own creatures, and a multitude of other effects.

==Criticism==
The card game very quickly came under scrutiny for its inclusion of dark magic elements, such as demons. It was only after strong criticism from concerned families that these elements were scaled back. However, in recent years demons have been returning to Magic<ref>http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr131</ref>.

Pastor David Brown has identified four key problems with the game:<ref>http://logosresourcepages.org/Occult/magic-g.htm</ref>
*1) The primary focus on the occult
*2) The violent nature of the game
*3) The addictive nature of the game
*4) The identification of the players with evil characters.
To demonstrate the abundance of occult themes in the game there are 67 demon, 95 vampire, 17 witch(in name only, there is no witch creature type) 285 zombie, 137 horror, and 15 devil cards out of 12978 cards total(not including basic lands).<ref>http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer</ref>

Additionally, a number of cards feature unrealistic and unusually sexy depictions of both male and female characters.
