analogy. I have also studied the "re framing issue " many years before Lakoff made the term popular in political circles. And if one wishes to talk of hyperbole, categorizing me as personally guilty of "patriarchal word association" , when you haven't the faintest clue as to who I am ,is silly. You may be missing the entire point of application of this methodology, if you are unable to understand the general reaction of the populace being considered. The general populace, not necessarily including either of us, is patriarchal in reaction. Only if you first accept and understand the rules can you break them.
But,whatever. I still maintain,that I am only questioning the application of the methodology, not the idea. I disgaree with applying it to ourselves. I think we should be applying it to the Republicans in the same manner they "reframed " us rather than themselves.
