Remember George Lakoff? July 9, 2012 9:01 am TB

From back in February?

He’s got a new book out.

This is why conservatives and liberals can’t seem to have the simplest conversation: liberals intentionally refuse to address or even acknowledge what conservatives say. Since (as Lakoff notes) conservatives invariably frame their own statements within their own conservative “moral frames,” every time a conservative speaks, his liberal opponent will seemingly ignore what was said and instead come back with a reply literally out of left field.

Thus, he is the progenitor of and primary advocate for the main reason why liberalism fails to win the public debate: Because it never directly confronts, disproves or negates conservative notions — it simply ignores them.

        • I thought the author did a pretty good job of pointing out specific problems with Lakoff's concepts and motivations. by TB 2012-07-09 17:23:46
