Tyrant-speak
Yeah, and in USSR, those that dared speak out against the tyranical regime that hijacked the nation were called Enemies of the People. The Orwellian vocabulary is now firmly entrenched with our leadership. It's insidious and destructive, and like an oil spill may take decades to clean up, even if anyone tries. Unlike an oil spill, it doesn't make for heartbreaking images of tar-smeared cute birds which can spur the citizenry into if not action, then at least realization that what's happening is BAD.
On the other hand, let me ask you this, Glenn: how much more can we take of this crap until fatigue sets in and we can no longer act? We are assaulted by such a volume of lies that even normal speech becomes hard to handle. Instead of righteous indignation, what I felt upon reading your latest post was weariness. I just want to go home, curl up and let the world collapse. Perhaps that's what the neocons are banking on: even though hardly anyone believes them nowadays, the sheer volume of their crap will make people unwilling to listen to anything at all, reason, madness, sweet nothings.
Kudos to people like you, who have the stomach to read and listen to all this crap and then inform everyone else about the latest Bullshit from the Top.
