All the links didn't fit in the last post so here is part 2:
I've been asking people about the the failure of conservative values. Here are links to the latest batch of interviews that I just placed on Youtube. The failed values that come up are quite varied, but those sighted most often are fear, hypocrisy, conservative family values, division, rigidity, hyper individualism, self-delusion, etc. I also ask people to create a metaphor of what the Failed Conservative Values are like. These metaphors are often quite revealing.
In our Progressive Values Youtube group, we now have over 600 video clips of progressives talking about their values and telling how they feel conservative values have failed.
Here's the list of newly added interviews related to the failure of conservative values. Most of these were done at Netroots Nation 2008.

Failed Conservative Values
Assist us in systematically building the arguments and telling 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.

don't know if it was a youtube capture I heard it on the radio
Was he asked a question about failed conservative values?
What the conservatives value the most [their stock profolios] sure have been failing a lot lately.
Lemming suicide is a frequently-used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with an opinion, with potentially dangerous or fatal consequences.

By Susan Rowe on Sep 23, 2008 10:15 PM EDTIn avarice here is NO free lunch and the hungary are never fed. It is immoral to reward a thief who steals the blood, sweat and tears of others to survive.
just another example... there's also a self-delusion among conservatives now with their support of Palin. They delude themselves that she is qulified for the vp office.
Let's see...give tax breaks to the wealthy, start an unnessary war and get the war contracts.
High oil prices bring in lot's of dough.
Keep outsourcing high paying union jobs.
No more pension funds.
Keep fighting to allow folks to invest their SS in mutual funds run by Repubs.
And most of all, ruin the economy so bad that we totter on the brink of disaster. The solution being floated is give those that screwed up the keys to the treasury. No transparency rules, no more oversight.
gotta love it if you are a conservative. The sight of all those dead monies scattered around the world and ho,elessness here isn't your problem. you got the loot.
S/B
The sight of all those dead bodies scattered around the world and homelessness here isn't your problem. you got the loot.
