Just a snip of brainwashing from this site http://www.politicalstrategy.org/archives/001117.php

So what is framing?

To the communist its framing lies to sound like the truth

Frames are part of what cognitive scientists call the 'collective unconscious' -- Structures in our brain that we cannot consciously access but know by their consequences: the way we reason and what counts as common sense. We also know frames through language. All words are defined relative to conceptual frames. When you hear a word, its frame (or collection of frames) is activated in your brain. Established frames create clarity and promote a vision.

Collective Brainwashing

Every word comes with one or more frames. Most frames are unconscious and have just developed naturally and haphazardly and have come into the public's mind through common use. But, over the past 40 years, conservative Republicans -- using the intellectuals in their think tanks -- have consciously and strategically crafted an overall conservative worldview, with a conservative moral framework. They have also invested heavily in language -- in two ways:

Your to stupid to know what your thinking is true or a lie it has to be left up to the collective hive !

* Framing: Language that fits their worldview, and hence evokes it whenever used. "Tax relief" is a good example.

Its not your money after all it belongs to everyone ! right ? have you ever gotten a job from a poor man ? no i dont think so ... so to fix this problem commies think everyone should be poor and the power struture reformed so that only they are the rich ones

* Spinning: Deceptive language, that evokes frames they don't really believe but that public approves of. Saying "Tax relief creates jobs" is an example -- or referring to their environmental positions as being "clean," "healthy" and "safe."

What the left has done for years it must not be working well though if they have to explain to their koolaid drinkers what and how to spin !

Reframing is telling the truth as we see it -- telling it forcefully, straightforwardly, articulately, with moral conviction and without hesitation. The language must fit the conceptual reframing -- a reframing from the perspective of progressive morality. It is not just a matter of words, though the right words do help evoke a progressive frame.

Progressive morality ? by spinning and so called reframing the lies from communism and the left making what they say seem like truth but actually it's just lieing and spinning under a new name [framing and refreaming]

Reframing requires a rewiring of the brain. That may take an investment of time, effort, and money. The conservatives have realized that. They made the investment and it is paying off. Our goal is to reframe the issues in terms of progressive values.

Brainwashing you into beleiving progressive communism is the utopia of life and rewiring your brain to be a slave to it is the key

Moral: The truth alone will not set you free. It has to be framed correctly.

the truth is an absolute it needs no framing framing or [lieing ] is not truthful except in the minds of these koolaid drinkers !

Wouldn't "Suffocating Paternalism" fit in there in #2? Or is "Nurturant Parent" a euphemism for that? Aren't they then using the same tactic they are whining about with "tax relief"?

On an unrelated note, I once saw Johnny Ramone wearing a T-shirt that said "Kill a Commie for Mommy".

We fought a Cold War against these bastards already. I recall that we won.
