Failed Conservative Values: Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Blame, Hate & Lying

What is win?  I don’t quite get what you mean.  You mean we’ll kill all the people?  We will control all of the oil?  What is win?

We are occupying Iraq.  We have basically torn up this country.  We have destabilized the entire Middle East.  We have more people that are angry with us.  We are disrespected in the world because of this.  And so it is a failure.  And it is a metaphor for the failure of the conservative philosophy and agenda, in my estimation. 

(In a future article, Maxine talks about the progressive value of respect.)

Some Questions for Discussion:

How else have conservative values failed?
In what other ways have conservatives expressed their values of Blame, Hate & Lying?
What are the progressive alternatives to Blame, Hate & Lying?
