Whose Values?

Filed in National by on September 18, 2009

Talking Points Memo looks at the schedule for the Value Voters Summit and finds these breakout sessions:

“Speechless – Silencing The Christians”
“Thugocracy – Fighting the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy”
“Defunding Planned Parenthood”
“Activism and Conservatism: Fit to a Tea (Party)”
“The Threat of Illegal Immigration”
“Obamacare: Rationing Your Life Away”
“Marriage: Why It’s Worth Defending and How Redefining it Threatens Religious Liberty”
“The New Masculinity”
“Wait No More: Finding Families for Waiting Kids”
“Turning the Tide in Your Generation”

This agenda just solidifies in my mind that the current conservative movement is focused on what it fears. Rightwing fears are apparently people who are not sufficiently Christian, liberals, Democrats, women, brown people, gays, sex, universal healthcare and young people.

    Actually, it is meant to be ironic. But the link is there to the actual values voters summit site. Do you challenge the names of the breakout sessions or are you just distracted by the name of a site that you didn’t know existed?

  3. Sounds like the sort of seminars one would get at Kos’s yearly extravaganza, only in reverse. Why are you so outraged — or even surprised?
