Who knew today was a holiday? Only the Gods of Irony, I suppose.
Because it’s Orwell Day, you fool! And — what the fuck — we might as well make it an international holiday, too. We ARE the world, after all. Sing it!
With a wink and a nod and yet another soaring speech, President Obama launched this new Orwellian holiday from foreign soil this morning. Norway, to be precise. And with everything but the laugh track working, he paid his mightiest tribute to Orwell while accepting his Nobel Peace (sic) Prize.
Orwell, of coarse, said, “War is peace.”
Obama, doing his best channeling of Orwell, said, “War is just.” Or was it: It’s just war? I guess I’ll have to check.
This guy is getting trickier and trickier with his rhetoric. I mean, how proud would Orwell be with Obama’s rhetorical dance with the so-called public option. He flew the “public option” like a red cape in front of his sleepy liberal fan club, only to stab them with yet another “never mind” arrow just when they started to lunge for it.
“Ha!” he declared, before spilling forth with yet another Orwellian tribute that went something like this: Not having the public option IS the public option!
Brilliant. Orwell lives!
Which reminds me, let’s get back to Obama’s Peace Prize speech. With his firm commitment to sending another 30,000 troops to escalate the Afghanistan War still just days old, Obama counseled the Norwegian peaceniks with these words:
“We must develop alternatives to violence that are tough enough to actually change behavior.”
I’m guessing that at this point he had the guy who hangs around him 24/7 with the suitcase carrying the nuclear war codes hide behind the curtain. Just saying.
I’m beginning to love this new Orwell Day. It makes me think of other Orwell quotes. You know, quotes like: “Ignorance is strength.”
Indeed. And it all kind of reminds me of the oh-so-special relationship Obama has developed with his starry-eyed followers: They pulled his lever and he jerks their chains.
So, on this very special Orwell Day, let me remind you of how Orwell defined a liberal: “A power worshipper without power.”
Happy Orwell Day, you idiots.
Ivory Dove empirePIe
You don’t win peace with war
The Afghan mission is a motley sore
A Sisyphean mission
A mission accomplished not
A smooth talkin Rock;…. the World’s Don not.
‘Learn from the ants thou sluggard’ (retard!)
Retard and harmony, Requiem and procession
require more than keys or blow hard.
Save the predators for Orion aliens or decrepit bards
You don’t win peace with war.
You don’t burn ebony
to craft a dove of ivory.
This sham of a Prez has the nerve to accept the award, then say we need WAR sometimes to bring about peace. He’s laughing his ass off at all us SUCKERS.
“War is peace”
Peace is war.
What the heck are you talking about.
“Ignorance is strength.”?
There is no evil out there?
How many starry eyed followers do you have?
Yeah,
you have no shame promoting yourself with a picture of the bush follower Jim Douglas.
And then failing to follow up on a big announcement.
You are an ideologist.
No ideologist I know of has an open mind.
But seriously, Kissinger got 50% of a Nobel in 1973, so this shouldn’t be that shocking.
I beg to differ. Michael’s mind is so open, the CIA is thinking of seizing his brain to use to confuse Aliens from Other Planets as to what our intent is concerning the colonization of other galaxies. Sort
of a Deep Space Black Ops thing. Watch out for him. He’s using the Vulcan Mind Meld.
