Illegal Immigrants are now "New Americans"

Maryland Dem tries some Orwellian Newspeak.
He changes the name of illegal immigrants to "New Americans"
Just to set the record straight, I am all for immigration.
I am all for people coming thru the front door to meet the needs of our economy.

Orwellian Reproduction Hits Museum

Out, Out, Damned Cigar ! ! !The UK Telegraph reports....

In the well-known original image, Churchill makes a "V" shaped symbol with his fingers – while gripping a cigar in the corner of his mouth.

But in a reproduction of the picture, hanging over the main entrance to a London museum celebrating the wartime leader, he has been made into a non-smoker through the use of image-altering techniques.

Here is the full view of original

WHAAAWHHAAAAWHHHAAAAAA, The Honeymoon is over.


Even the AP realizes that
President Obama is whining.
He says "the buck stops with me," but nearly a year into office, President Barack Obama is still blaming a lot of the nation's troubles — the economy, terrorism, health care — on George W. Bush.

President Obama uses Bush like the Party used Emmanuel Goldstein in Orwell's 1984.

When will President Obama start the Two Minute Hate???

“The program of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He was the primal traitor…All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out of his teaching. Somewhere or other he was still alive and hatching his conspiracies, perhaps somewhere beyond the sea, under the protection of his foreign paymasters perhaps even — so it was occasionally rumoured in some hiding place in Oceania itself.”

DON'T READ THE BILL ! ! !


"Across the country, “Read the bill!” has become a rallying cry of the health care debate. People are shouting it at town halls. Local newspapers teem with editorials and readers’ letters demanding that lawmakers do it. Bloggers and their commenters say the same. Politicians of both parties are taunting their foes across the aisle with it. But reading actual legislative text is often the least productive way to learn what’s actually in a bill." says the Politico.

I always said the only thing worse than a bad law is a good law that is impossible to enforce. Well I will add that a law that no one can understand is worse than a bad law.
When we have congressmen admitting that they don't understand the laws that they are passing, then we are in serious trouble

Page 24 of 1984? or...........

George Orwell

"And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak-"child hero" was the phrase generally used- had overheard some compromising remarks and denounced his parents tothe Thought Police."
Page 24 of George Orwell's 1984.
Or is it page 1 of Obama's Obamacare "flag@whitehouse.gov.?

Conyers believes...IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Congressman John Conyers has an Orwellian moment

The Ministry of Truth-Minitrue in Newspeak-concerned itself with news, entertainment,education and the fine arts. It also produced the posters with the three slogans of the Party

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH


Paraphrased From George Orwell's "1984"
