Failed Conservative Values: Aris on Fear and Power

[courtesy of Blog for America]

I interviewed Aris Harmon about the failure of conservative values.  He said conservatives can be very nice people but they try to maintain the status quo and are  afraid of change.  For this reason, their fear of change is easily manipulated by other conservatives, such as, Grover Norquists and Abramoff, whose sole value is power at any cost.   He also sees the failure of critical thinking as the reason conservatives are so easily manipulated.

Failed Conservative Values: Aris Harmon on Fear and Power

My name is Aris Harmon.  I live in East Palo Alto. 

There’s a real disconnect, I think, between the values of the people who vote for conservatives, who identify themselves as conservatives, and many of them are very nice people.  They are great neighbors.  They are people whom you want in your community association.
