For those not familiar, 1984 was the dystopian novel by George Orwell. The modern media is playing the role of the Ministry of Truth and Propaganda. The media is concocting the NewSpeak of our Time, and "racism" is one of their favorite words:
One character, Syme, says admiringly of the diminishing scope of the new language: "It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words."
Objective truth doesn't matter. All power to the Soviet! For your thoughtcrime of racism, you shall be punished! Any evidence of the contrary of the latest party line is immediately flushed down the memory hole. Notice the use of the words "thoughtcrime" and "memory hole". That's because the fiction NewSpeak is now becoming fact. What was once only in a novel is now becoming all too true in real life. What the arbiters of right thinking according to our infallible and true thinking media have defined as "racism" is now the current definition, and any evidence that existed of the prior definition will be erased from all memory banks, thus it goes down the memory hole.
Once upon a time, the left accused the Republicans of taking us down the path of 1984. Funny how the roles reversed once they got into power. Who is more at fault for this ever increasing pace of government control of even our very thoughts? It would seem to me that both parties are at fault, as both crave power, and this is why we need the Tea Party. But the Tea Party is racist, don't you know. The media says so, so it must be true. To align yourself with the Tea Party makes you guilty of that seditious thoughtcrime and you will be punished for your transgression. Doesn't matter that the left was once out of power, their acts were not thoughtcrimes then, but the memory of that has been flushed down the memory hole, and what matters is only the here and now.
Just saying, for anyone who has an ear, let him hear. Look where we are going. Do you like what you see?
