When will these people ever learn. 1984 is not a frickin' instruction manual!

That's some scary stuff there. I'm always amazed at the people who can look at socialism's history of complete failure and say, "Oh, we can make it work this time."

That's fucking scary, and does not bode well for the future of this nation. I'll leave it at that.

It's Newspeak now, not "Newsweek" - fuck that shit.

Nostradamus you say?

"We're watching you
Nowhere to hide
Obey the holy law
Repent for your sins
There is but one God

Against their holy laws
I'll do whatever it takes
I've met their kind before
We're martyrs burned at their stake

They try to dominate
I'll be the thorn in their side
They underestimate
The willpower feeding my pride

Under the hand of persecution
Defy the institution"

This too came out of Brittain

Newspeak, er..*ahem* Newsweek has it wrong. Not ALL of us are socialists. There are still some of us Patriots left who will resist socialism, and be ready for the next American Revolution.
