“His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto.” ― George Orwell, Animal Farm

Sounds Familiar

And, my favorite quote from Animal Farm whenever Obama and his cronies start spinning the Jobs reports and whatnot:

“Reading out the figures in a shrill, rapid voice, he proved to them in detail that they had more oats, more hay, more turnips than they had had in Jones’s day, that they worked shorter hours, that their drinking water was of better quality, that they lived longer, that a larger proportion of their young ones survived infancy, and that they had more straw in their stalls and suffered less from fleas. The animals believed every word of it. Truth to tell, Jones and all he stood for had almost faded out of their memories. They knew that life nowadays was harsh and bare, that they were often hungry and often cold, and that they were usually working when they were not asleep. But doubtless it had been worse in the old days. They were glad to believe so.”

“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”

That is the elitist liberal mindset in a nutshell right there. It is reflected in their penchant for nanny-state rules and controls over every aspect of our lives. It is reflected in the repeated instances of liberals and elitists being caught violating those very rules they push onto the rest of us. It represents the antithesis of freedom and liberty - what this Country was founded on, and what makes us great.

Is Obama gonna throw a toga party or something? “Animal House” instead of “Animal Farm” in the thread title really threw me for a loop. Also, “Speaches” instead of “Speeches” had me thinking it might also have something to do with fruit, or maybe throwing rotten fruit.
