George Lakoff talks about progressive and neo-conservative ideas of freedom.

George P. Lakoff is a professor of cognitive linguistics at the University of California. In recent years he has applied his work to the realm of politics, exploring this in his books. He is the founder of the progressive think tank the Rockridge Institute.

  • If you wish to hear bolsheviks speak, join Walmart crew, come to their morning 'ra-ra' meetings.

  • Let me try to break this down as simply as I can.

    If a lion makes a kill how much of that kill belongs to the hyena?

    Does it matter how hungery the hyena is or how many Hyena there are?

    The role of Government is to stop the hyena from stealing the kill.

    You are all lions stop acting like hyenas.

  • Freedom isn't government thugs waving guns around at people who disagree with them and their schemes. Let me opt out of your Progressive idea of freedom. You dont know what freedom is or what rights are.

    Progressives are dumb they are fighting tooth and nail to get back on the plantation. 'Cause Masser loves us poor dumb slaves, he gonna give us roof over our heads, food for our bellies he goin' to send usens to skool get us some book lernin'. halaluya for dat masser!

  • @velation

    I absolutely agree.

  • @IllyrianVideo You have no idea what you're talking about. None.

  • @observationspring thank you

  • @IllyrianVideo Sure you know what a bolshevic is? Why have Americans bought the idea that anyone who criticises the system is antiamerican?

  • I hope the next U.S. president is pure hologram C.G. doppelganger A.I. Sim clone matrix neural network machine. Then we will all be working for the ONE. The U.S. (Unknown Superior) can take over the world completely in a single term. That is the great gift of 2012.

  • There is one neural network consisting of all people and ideas in the world. In the context of linguistics, the political ideology that is closest linked with consolidating banking, media, and world resources- this political ideology will win because it is most efficient at developing the world-mind, the one neural network. I am the president of the world banking, media, and world resource neural network.

  • ufff!-.. radical conceptualism .. a hip hop mix of ideas .. or a joke? c'mm

  • The music was a major distraction from what Lakoff had to say. Whether you agree or disagree with Lakoff, let his words speak for themselves or use images that express your view (satirical or otherwise) instead of offering this mess.
