And how 'conservative' is it to centralize power to the Federal Government by giving the Executive Branch sole power over martial law?
What is so special ... ( 4 months ago by Namuchat)
What is so special about Lakoff's frame theory ? Plato basically taught the same thing almost 2500 years ago, called it "idea".

Plato, Lakoff, neither are my favorites.
Lakoff exemplifies ... ( 4 months ago by anyusmoon1)
Lakoff exemplifies the dire state of our education system, it's products who inevitably (Lakoff) become lecturers/teachers. Endless insult toward others, like Christians, is progress? No!
An extremist, more precisely, extreme polarist, practicing the art of sophistry, creating an ugly divide & make greater division and uglier.
Endless sarcasm (weakest form of argument), belittlement of the polar opposite he/they actually create.
An astounding collectivist & guilty of ='sin' as the 'sinner'.
I am listening to a ... ( 4 months ago by Gerkinstock)
I am listening to a repeat of his appearance on The Dennis Prager Show and I agree with you completely. He claims his latest book, The Political Mind, combines objective science with his left-wing political views but gives readers no good way to discern between the two; at the same time, he snaps at anyone who is not able to independently discern between the two. He claims that terms like "conservative" and "liberal/progressive" have outlived their usefulness yet uses them continuously.
Regarding same-sex ... ( 4 months ago by Gerkinstock)
Regarding same-sex marriage, he claims "same-sex marriage" is a biased term, while "freedom to marry" is unbiased, even though "freedom to marry" could easily be applied to polygamous marriage rather than SSM. He claims liberals want less intrusive government but supports higher taxation and opposes private primary & secondary schools receiving the same taxpayer subsidation private universities receive.
He has some interesting points but should be more upfront about his lack of objectivity.
Serious Question ... ( 4 months ago by igrumpus)
Serious Question Alert!!! is there someone out there who can explain what it is that makes this clearly smart and articulate guy comes off as such a tedious, almost irritating speaker? (assuming you agree that he is a tedious/annoying speaker. I can't even get to arguing the political/science merits of his argument because it's so hard for to listen to him. but why? i can't really put my finger on it. maybe in person it would be better.)...
It's because your ... ( 3 months ago by praxbaffle)
It's because your deeply held values are so drastically different from his that your brain can only follow his argument with great difficulty. I think he's clear and engaging - but my values are like his.
Having someone ... ( 3 months ago by praxbaffle)
Having someone express ideas that go against the grain of your assumptions is violent ignorance- to a conservative to yourself.
Some of us who still value freedom of thought welcome opposing viewpoints, because we actually welcome a free exchange of ideas.
Narrow mindedness is un-American. At least to me. It goes against our values as Americans.
IMHO it is because ... ( 3 months ago by anyusmoon1)
IMHO it is because he is sarcastic and condescending, his target of ridicule is not to be found in his adoring audience and his argument lacks dimension from virtue of debate ie another point of view.
The fact he is doing a solo in itself tends to aggrandize the position, giving the listener the impression that his opinion must be worthy and profound... when in fact, it is not. He is singing to his choir.

When courts pull this crap it's called 'sophistry' and in education it's called 'higher education' but is clearly sophomoric.

praxbaffle I believe, unless I missed a thread or comment, we are doing just that- discussing an opposing point of view.
Cheers- moon1

I don't know why I only now received notice of your comment Gerkinstock, sorry I would have written sooner-
I applaud your patience in being able to listen to him again, even when served with the milk and honey of D. Prager :-)
I can't quite put my finger on Prager- somehow seeming so wise and gentle yet so NWO at the same time (but without the obnoxiousnous normally assoc therewith).
Whats your opinion of Prager?

The U.S. Political system entertains one party which is treated like a pre-game Coin. One side has a Donkey and the other has an Elephant. In the rarest of cases, the coin may land on the edge of another party though, regardless of the coin toss, the coin is still a product of the world bank.
