Randy Best, Leader spoke on September 20, 2020 at Northern Virginia Ethical Society about “How Selfishness Destroyed Conservatism and Polarized America.” (Click on cloud icon in upper right corner to be directed to video on Facebook.)

American Conservatism, in its current alignment with the Republican party, has sacrificed any semblance of principle to gain and maintain political power. In a time of global pandemic and domestic social protest advocating for racial justice, the political fallacy of the ends justifying the means has played out; leaving American Democracy in great peril. While neither American political party has recently made the wisest decisions, the self-centered ethos of American Conservatism damages our government and produces a political crisis that may give rise to America as an Authoritarian State. Amidst this political turmoil, how can I act to promote the worth and dignity of all? What steps can I take to save democracy?
