Liberals question the logic of stressing less government and then ridiculing Obama for a tepid response to the oil spill. Teabaggers have no objection to use every chance they get to implement doublethink.

Liberals always let logic stand in the way of their embracing doublethink and ridicule the intelligence level of teabaggers who can exorcise the ability to do doublethink without any effort. Which group exemplifies a living example of the principles of George Orwell? Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

Example: In California ads in favor of Prop 14 proclaim: "This will reduce the power of the major political parties." Analysts say that the fine print indicates that if it is adopted, Prop 14 will eliminate Libertarian and other fringe party candidates from future elections. Liberals object that there is a contradiction. "There you go again!" Can't they see that it is precisely because the small party candidates are removed from the ballot that it will cause the Republican and Democrat Parties to have a diminished impact on elections?

The liberals (bless their hearts) still cling to old think and fail to embrace the teachings of St. Reagan, Orwell, and Dubya: "A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain. The old civilizations claimed they were founded on love and justice. Ours is founded on hatred."

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
