I am forced to give to Cesar - but she can KMA if she thinks I’ll go any further, or believe her tripe.

Several other Obama administration officials have used the phrase "federal family" in recent weeks.

It is the idea of George Lakoff for libtards to reject facts and substitute metaphorical reasoning for common sense reasoning and logical reasoning.

The outline of the steps of the process goes like this:

1) first develop models of the family based on family based moral systems
2) then create the metaphor of the nation as a family where the government is a nurturing,caring parent with lots of empathy
3) then create frames that support the libtard narrative by picking words and phrases to produce a form of discourse and mode of reasoning that support libtard political stands.

The same process can be used to create negative metaphors and negative frames and narratives for the conservative world view.For example, the conservative view of the nation as a family contains the metaphor of the government as a strict parent who is cruel and uncaring.

Ain’t my family. That family’s dysfunctional at best.

Well, Sebelius and the rest of her “family” work for, and are paid by, the U.S. FAMILY!

She’s an idiot. Probably closer to a crazy uncle than a crazy aunt.

I seem to recall that Lenin was often portrayed as a benevolent parent or grand parent.
