In George Orwell’s nightmare vision from the novel, 1984, its New Speak says: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is strength. In this America, thanks to labelers and spin doctors: Common courtesy and respect is Political Correctness, Protection of Constitutional rights is Big Government, Tax breaks for the wealthy are Tax Reform, The highest income 1% is Middle Class, Hypocrisy and Paranoia disguise themselves as Patriotism, Outlawing union protection is the Right to Work, Inconvenient Truth is Humanist Hysteria, And Destruction of Innocent Lives is Collateral Damage. It is a country where quality of health care is dictated by business expediency, and homeless camps are reminiscent of the hobo camps of the 1930s. It is a country where it is forbidden for federal agencies to use words objectionable to campaign contributors. It is a country where people make God in their image not the other way around, and the health of citizens hinges on economic expediency.
