Hardly any dog will consume pure raw poison.<br>

Lakoff, every other clever & successful poisoner of dogs, <br>
mixes in enough just enough good meat in his toxic fare<br>
to assure some intake.<br>

The dwarves and elves were getting all too cozy with each other<br>

e.g., Chomsky, like Marx, is a radical Aristotelian. <br>

(Except for your tendentious use of "dark ages") I agree entirely. <br>
<br>
It's shocking the number of intelligent people who take this guy
seriously, so it's probably necessary if tedious to point out his
mistakes. <br>

<div>It's "progressive" analyses like these that keep us mired in
the dark ages:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p>"Conservatives really want to change the basis of American
life, to make America run according to the conservative moral worldview
in all areas of life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the 2008 campaign, candidate Obama accurately described the
basis of American democracy: Empathy -- citizens caring for each other,
both social and personal responsibility -- acting on that care, and an
ethic of excellence. From these, our freedoms and our way of life
follow, as does the role of government: to protect and empower everyone
equally. Protection includes safety, health, the environment, pensions
and empowerment starts with education and infrastructure. No one can be
free without these, and without a commitment to care and act on that
care by one's fellow citizens.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The conservative worldview rejects all of that."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lakoff makes no attempt to discern what Obama and Democrats
actually believe, and what explains their behaivor.</p>
