Oh, pooey
The Patriot Blog points to an article about Lakoff's whining, and links to what I should've done, a decoding. Excepting all the whining about communists, it raises some pretty interesting points about how Lakoff views the world.
In Lakoff's decoding of Thursday's address, "freedom" meant "unfettered economic markets." Same goes for phrases such as "ownership society" and "the governing of the self." They're conservative shorthand for believing that the government should not be regulating business.
Those aren't code words. They're flat out statements that people are more qualified than leftist bureaucrats to decide how to run their own lives.
