54. Kindness and Decency, caution and thrift

Wed Dec 6, 2017, 12:10 PM

Dec 2017

If you look up " Conservative " in the dictionary, these words come up. I see no real conflict with " Liberal " principles. Should Dems start "soft messaging" these themes (particularly with some of our well respected "stars" - Obama, Clinton, Carter, Kerry, Gore), so that the Republicans react to this messaging with their real principles? Kindness is for suckers, thrift is for losers, caution is for wimps!
