You’ve probably seen the bumper stickers that say, “Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one!” Perhaps during the slavery debate in our country, a similar bumper sticker could have read, “Don’t like slavery? Don’t own one!” Proponents argue that abortion doesn’t affect most people, so people shouldn’t care. It’s between a woman and her doctor. They say that pro-lifers shouldn’t be able to force their worldview down everyone else’s throats. They shouldn’t be able – through legislation – to “force” childbirth on women who don’t want to have babies.......To Read More.....
My Take - Another example of Orwellian "Newspeak" from Orwell's 1984, which is defined as "ambiguous euphemistic language used chiefly in political propaganda." Here are some examples: "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" Twisting the common meaning of words and thoughts in order to redefine everything into something never intended are part and parcel of leftism, including "thought police". "The .......aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten." (1.5.23, Syme)
It was fiction, now it's reality, and the press is part of that movement. And the press will be the first to be eliminated when they take over. I do wish more people had read his book. What I really wish for is that more people read more history.
If we could only get people to read.
