Orwell coined the word "duckspeak" to denote the futile efforts of Democrats to counteract Republican philosophy. Remember the words full of sound and fury when it was revealed that the Republicans had used deception to remove Democrats from the voting registration rolls? The furious Democratic reaction was a textbook perfect example of duckspeak. Was even one investigation held? The promise to get to the bottom of it was completely disregarded by the (then) Republican majority.
The new conservative rule of morality is: It isn't wrong if you get away with it.
The irony of hearing the intellectuals point out that the Bush family was the living embodiment of the spirit of "1984," is because they were spot-on with that perception, but they didn't follow through to the ultimate conclusion. They would eventually, like Winston Smith, be brought into the fold and love Big Brother. Now that the first President of non-White ancestry has been inaugurated, liberals balk at following him into absolving his predecessor of any wrongdoings and the complete and unquestioning acceptance of the wars which must be fought. The left is still too sanctimonious to forgive like Obama has done. Cut to the book's end and then give them time and encourage them to reread "1984."
Why should liberals worry about massive civilian casualties several thousand miles away, when they have oil covered brown pelicans facing extinction at home?
George Orwell wrote: "But when war becomes literally continuous, it also ceases to be dangerous."
Now the disk jockey will play "Age of Aquarious," "the Battle of New Orleans," and "Splish, Splash." We have to go check out new photos of oil covered pelicans. Have a "doubleplusgood" type week.
