So...
He tells us to get rid of fake conservative email spam and then tells us to subscribe to a National Review newsletter?
Bad start. Very bad start.
Conservative advice from a man who agrees with Homosexuals openly serving in our military. Thanks-Not!
No! No! No! The MAJORITY of spammers use unsubscribe links at the bottom of emails as confirmation that there's a mailbox on the other end.
Either mark it as junk in your mail client or report it as spam to your provider. Under no circumstances should you respond to a spammer's email solicitation!
8. Homeschool your kids!
#6: Why?
Not everyone can home-school their kids. So what are they supposed to do? I would have never been able to home-school our children
No! No! No! The MAJORITY of spammers use unsubscribe links at the bottom of emails as confirmation that there’s a mailbox on the other end.
When I was young and stupid (wait I am being redundant) I fell for that one. SPAM to my email account 100 fold. Eventually I had to abandoned that email address and get another.
I learned how to use the TOOLS with my email and set up rules that pretty much keep the clutter from my inbox. Since some legitimate email ends up in the junk mail box by mistake every so often I check and then empty the box.
#8: As you traverse your day to day life, make note of the leftists, extremists and hateful people in your immediate sphere who would destroy our way of life simply to advance their un-American agenda.
Make a list. Keep it in your head. Do not write it down.
This guidance might be a subrule better labeled as 2a or 6a, as I see them all as partly intertwined.
On my street, I know exactly who I can count on and who is my enemy. You should too.
I run my own email server at home and have a mail gateway that filters out all of that stuff. And yes, legitimate mail still gets lumped in, but I don’t deal with junk mail nearly as much as I used to.
The way I figure it is if a legitimate entity is trying to contact me but continues to get stuck in my mail filters, they’ll reach out to me through some other method. Otherwise, I rarely check the spam filter for legit mail.
I subscribe to my Rep's Newsletter which she sends out on Fridays and sometimes it is moved to my junk mail folder, so I have to move it into my inbox folder.
No! No! No! The MAJORITY of spammers use unsubscribe links at the bottom of emails as confirmation that there's a mailbox on the other end.

Exactly! Unsubscribe links associated with real spammers should never be clicked on. Unsubscribe links should only be used in cases where one actually signed up to receive email notices from a known, legitimate source but have since tired of them.
Also, I highly recommend using multiple, temporary, expendable email addresses.
I didn’t say you have to - just do it if you can.
This bears repeating. Email addresses are given away anymore. Setup multiple email addresses for different purposes. Never use your personal email for suspect websites or uses.
If I got a lot it might be a problem but the number of spams I get today are so few it does not take much to open the folder and then delete them all.
Your exact quote was “Homeschool your kids” not homeschool your kids if you can. Besides Col Schlichter didn’t even mention schools in the op-ed.
Conservatives do not use terms like “lifehack”.
LOL - I'm supposed to subscribe to TV, and subscribe to Facebook, just so I can turn around and use one to gripe about the other?
How about just getting a life ?
How DARE you be so logical!?
Remember when Townhall.com was actually a conservative website?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
