Tell A Friend

The conservative, just like the progressive, is not monolithic.  There are many conservatives who think that they should be allowed to proceed without the interference of government.  There is also a large segment of people who call themselves conservative who believe they should be allowed to proceed with the benefit of government.  So they pay lots of men money and they get things like new big contracts to provide over in Iraq – like Halliburton.

EDWIN:  What is the value in one word?

ANSWER:  Me first.  Very often conservative values work for the people who have them.  They have failed society.  If you say that the conservative values are the people who argue that you need to burn coal without stripping the stacks so that we can have cheap electricity without having to worry about or pay for the fact that burning coal is polluting the ocean,

Now they are telling us to only turn it on once a week or maybe once a month, or once a year.  Or don’t feed tuna to anybody under the age of six.  A direct consequence of burning coal, by the way.

It’s an ongoing problem.  It hasn’t just happened in the past and stopped.  We’re still putting mercury into the ocean, because we don’t care.

Question.

What's the Progressive counter value to Greed?

Failed Conservative Values
I ask for your assistance to systematically build the arguments and tell the stories that reveal how Conservative Values have Failed. Join in our effort to create a documentary and book on the subject by contributing  articles, posts, chapters for the book and video clips. Check our website for more information and a growing outline of tasks that need to be done on this project.
