Progressive values: NEA, NARAL, ACLU, socialism on a grander scale, no drilling for oil, no refineries to be built, stop the war and be attacked again, gay marriage, control our lives, take freedom away--quaint.

thanks for the post.. However;

Those are all policies you mention. they're not values. Conservative Values of authoritarianism, greed, self centerness, intolerance, demeaning put downs, etc, have Failed. Failed Conservative Values

[Hudd1950]

I respectfully disagree... most conservatives I know want very badly to see peple succeed and thrive, to use their God given talents and intelligence to make a difference--but in a capitalist and free framework. I certainly feel that way. It is my firm belief that you help those who need to help--but to tie them for a lifetime to government redistribution with all the constricting rules is a form of cruelty.

What are the conservative values you are proposing then? You mention helping those that need help, which is to Care and to have Empathy. How can you identify with people who need care without empathy? That's what Loni is talking about. seems we are coming from a common point there?

So if most conservatives want to see people thrive and succeed, what is the reason that they are not listening when we tell them that we are not THRIVING working two eight hour jobs to survive. and we are not SUCCEEDING when our public schools disproportionate funding based on the neighborhoods income. Capitalism in free reign DOES NOT WORK. We all want to sell stuff and get rich, we just don't want to KILL someone else in the process. and don't get me started on what GOD wants, the egomaniac
