Here's a great CD by RudePundit:
One of the things I admire about conservatives is that they are not scared to speak from their values. You don't have to wonder where a Republican stands on an issue.
There was a time when Liberals spoke from their values about the vision they had for America. Today we are going to look at some examples.
Today's theme: Liberals and progressives who speak and act from their values.

"In 1969 the US Senate had a hearing on funding the newly developed Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The proposed endowment was $20 million, but President Nixon wanted it cut in half because of the spending going on in the Vietnam War. This is an video clip of the exchange between Mr. Rogers and Senator Pastore, head of the hearing. Senator Pastore starts out very abrasive and by the time Mr. Rogers is done talking, Senator Pastore's inner child has heard Mr. Rogers and agreed with him."(Note: Something to remember: Senator John Pastori was a notorious hard-ass in 1969. Everyone thought he was going to tear into Rodgers that day. Notice how Rodgers stays calm, respectful and speaks from his heart.)

After his presidency in 1980, Carter assumed the role of an elder statesman and international mediator, using his prestige as a former president to further many causes. He founded the Carter Center as a forum for issues related to democracy and human rights. He has also traveled extensively to monitor elections, conduct peace negotiations, and establish relief efforts. In 2002, Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize for his "efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." Carter has continued his decades-long active involvement with the charity Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses for the needy.
(Notes: Jimmy Carter is one of my personal heroes. Not only was he a great public servant; but after his presidency he worked for fair elections, human rights, and built houses for the homeless.)
