But I do know many conservative and Republican people who have good hearts. And I can’t figure out why they can be attracted to the Republican Party. It’s mind-boggling to me. But as individuals they may be wonderful people in many respects. It’s just the big picture. I don’t see how they can’t see the big picture.
Progressive Values Metaphor: Nancy Kops - Like a Loving Puppy
Well, caring is following your heart, so that if your heart says something is wrong, you take action. If caring were animal, it would be like a loving puppy, or a loving dog licking you all over and wagging its tail and wanting to be around you and play with you, and just be there for you at all times.
Some Questions for Discussion:
How can conservatives that have good hearts and care about people vote republican and create such a mess in the country and world? What is the transition between being caring for the individual people around you, but supporting the value of selfishness and greed in a larger national context? How can you explain that?
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.
