Newspeak

NEWSPEAK: George Orwell described a system the government used to confuse the people called, “newspeak,” in his landmark book, “1984,” where a dictatorship changed the meaning of various words, completely REVERSING their meaning. Such is the case with Obama’s “New Capitalism,” a word he has “coined” to describe what can only be called SOCIALISM by intelligent people.
OBAMA DELAYED PIRATE RESCUE: They’re praising Obama’s “decisive leadership” to the skies, yet his limited rules of engagement DELAYED the rescue for 36 hours before he finally gave the order.
THROW MONEY AT IT: That seems to be the Democrat answer to every problem. Obama throws around such terms as $50 billion, $100 trillion with abandon, never thinking about where he is going to get the money. He’ll probably say he’ll “tax the rich,” forgetting there aren’t enough “rich” to foot all the bills. Come to think of it, McCain has started talking the same way.
PC GONE STUPID: “A judge in Atlanta, GA, has ruled that “Men at Work” signs are sexist. The City of Atlanta has been ordered to replace the signs with ‘Men and Women who look like Men at Work’ signs.” How stupid is that?
TYPICAL DEMOCRAT: The “Green Party is just another word for “Democrat. They’ve proved it again by selecting Cynthia McKinney as their 2008 candidate for president. You remember Cynthia. She’s the one who was so arrogant she refused a direct order from a police officer and got herself in big trouble. Her worst enemy is her big mouth. Worse, she’s a Democrat (aka: socialist). Fortunately, she has no chance of winning anything.
NAME RECOGNITION: Electrosol spent millions of dollars to create name recognition, then abruptly changed its name to something nobody ever heard of. I wonder what “faceless bureaucrat” made that decision. Another well-known institution, Pinkerton Security, whose name is known to every American who ever saw a western about a train robbery, and is a well-known security company in the U. S. for more than 100 years, was bought by a Swedish company that is well-known in Europe, but completely unknown here. So they abruptly changed its name to “Securitas,” a name nobody in this country knows. And they wonder why they’re losing contracts left and right.
