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 familyvalues, division, rigidity, hyper individualism, self-delusion, etc. I also ask people to create a  metaphor of what 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 own 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.

I just love what Dr. Olson had to say about the healthcare system in this country.  She's amazing!
