Don, George Lakoff is one of the leading lights of intelligence in defining the problems of political conflict. His notion of the "bi-conceptual" is illuminating and reaches past the plodding labels that are in use today. His ability to frame is superior to Frank Luntz whose sound bytes are misleading. It's significant to me that both Lakoff and Chomsky are linguists and the use of language to convey ideas coherently is an important part of that discipline.

His analysis of the "nurturing" vs. the "authoritarian" mindsets help define the goals of Progressives.

"Don't Think of an Elephant" and "Moral Politics" are a must read.
