Lakoff's "Progressive Values in Ten Words"

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 12:57 PM by BurtWorm

Conservative values in ten words:

Strong Defense
Smaller Government
Lower Taxes
Free Markets
Family Values.

Most people can rattle those off pretty quickly, George Lakoff ("Don't Think of an Elephant") says, but can they make a similar list for progressive values? Of course not, because progressives have not made and propagated such a list as the wingers have theirs. But Lakoff nominates this list of his own for progressives:

Stronger America
Effective Government
Better Future
Broad Prosperity
Mutual Responsibility

What do the progressives here think of this list. What would you change or keep and why?
