Conservatives Without Conscience
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Greatest Hits, National Politics, Republicans, Society, Tribalism & Blind Obedience to Authority on September 8, 2006
John Dean, Republican adviser to Richard Nixon has written a deeply disturbing book about the conservative right’s growing move toward authoritarianism and blind loyalty. Its an old concept. It still works, and always will.
This interview with Keith Olbermann gives us a frightening new perspective on the use of fear to gain and keep power.
The book is called Conservatives Without Conscience. Many so easily dismiss anyone who criticizes their tribe.� Thats why this is so important. It is written BY a conservative.
