You know, instead of really reaching out and trying to be more inclusive and seeing the world just a little larger than it is. I think a lot of people who all themselves conservatives are just incredibly cynical people who have been hurt in ways and things, and they are basically striking out or excluding other people as a matter of self-preservation – which is just wrong.
As far as I’m concerned, this is a big country, a big world, and we can all live in it and get along.
EDWIN: And the progressive metaphor?
Bill: I would say it’s more of the big tent, that is just willing to cover everyone, kind of like a cooperative-type model, that we can cooperate, we can get along. Collectively, we can do so much more than as individuals holding on tightly to what they have or think they have. Cause there is really very little security in sticking to yourself. You are much more secure as a large group that advocates on behalf of everyone.
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.
