Failed Conservative Values: Barack Obama on Status Quo versus Change

John Michael: Conservative values are people who are set, just like in the 60’s it was father against son, brother against brother , because a lot of people were afraid of change.  The conservatives are afraid of change.  They want things basically as they are.  They are comfortable in their business, even if their business is polluting us.  They need to change.  So, I’m here to rev the evolution.

Progressives are for change, or positive change.  As I said, we have wind and solar power, so we don’t need nuclear.  There’s enough nuclear waste as it is.  And we don’t need to bomb other countries into submission. 

Failed Conservative Values: Tony Tiscareno the Status Quo

Tony Tiscareno:  Conservative and progressive values are a lot different.  Their beliefs as opposed to our beliefs are on one opposite end to the other.  As far as what a progressive is trying to get accomplished, again, it is the freedom of rights and things like that, freedom of choice, freedom of all kinds of different things. 

And I think the conservatives are pretty much comfortable with the status quo, in my opinion.  They don’t want to make waves.  They think government should stay out of the business of the people.  But then again, they don’t want to support anybody as far as agencies, individuals, or whatever the case may be. 

We as Democrats believe that we need to help each other out.   And to help each other out costs money.  And where are you going to get this money?  Well, the only way you’re going to get this money, and right now the people who are providing this money are middle-class working people through their taxes.
