That’s around the first time I heard it, around 1986-87. It became a topic of conversation right around that time. Truthfully, I thought it was so Orwellian, so unamerican, so warped to the radical left, that it would eventually and rather quickly be culturally rejected. After all, this was America! We wouldn’t stand by and tolerate such an unseemly, creepy, suffocating kind of “mindthink” being imposed on us, right?
Yet here we are in 2014, and it has grown a thousand-fold in size, enveloping every aspect of culture and life. Where even daring to oppose it, like expressing the view that marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman will conceivably get you fired, sued, and deemed a social outcast.
