    Agreed. Yet Obama won and in doing so we all did too; not just Americans, but all people in the world who look to the USA as a beacon of freedom and a just society.

    My best to you sir.

    Very enlightening – thank you for sharing.

    It’s not black and white. Agreeing with someone’s values does make them seem more interesting as a speaker.

    Very good engage45!

    I think that Mr. Lakoff’s comments have some merit. Conservatives do have several themes that they use to sway public opinion. For example the GOP strategy was
    Obama is a Muslim
    Obama is a Socialist
    Obama is Unpatriotic
    Obama is UN-American
    Obama is an Elitist
    Obama is Different from us
    Regardless of whether you are liberal, conservative, or neither; I think we do well to understand some of the strategies that are used by politicians to influence our opinions.

    Interesting idea. So your belief is that if you agree with someone’s values you will not find that person to be a tedious speaker? I disagree with you on this. Besides the fact that I didn’t present any of my values, it seems to me that someone can be a poor public speaker even if he agrees with me. Do you feel that all movies that present messages you agree with are good?

    Thanks for posting this. It was interesting comparing his politics with his epistemological views.

    Really important mention of the discussion/debate that used to be carried on in this country but no longer is about whether God is a loving, nurturing and forgiving God or whether he is a punishing God. One’s view of God then is reflected in the family (strict father vs. nurturing parents) and then in political thought, liberal/progressive vs. conservative. One’s view of God also seems to be reflected in ones personality so that those who see God as a punisher have permission to punish. Cute.

    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.

    Excellent!!

  16. Beskargam says:

    Wow, it’s a good thing that I’m not stupid enough to think there are only two ends of the political spectrum.

    Reality tends to have a liberal bias…..

  23. haerverk says:

    Educational, tho a bit untastefully bias at times..

  24. Kiifen says:

    Summary of lecture:
    Liberals=nurturing and honest.
    Conservatives=tyrannical and manipulative.

    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?
