You said on your web page --

Fellow traveller and word mystic attempting to bring attention to the Orwellian world that Liberal speak has created.

It would seem that the Orwellian language of "Newspeak" is alive and well on the FReeper board, too, as I was saying in my post over here.

I was referring to the idea of "support the troops" in that one can do that, and on the FReeper side of things, and evaluate what the political situation is, at the same time, in that the "winds of change" is happening for a pull-out from Iraq. It's pretty apparent that this is going to begin, in earnest, coming up on the 2008 Presidential elections.

I was referring to (in that above post), to this "Fifth Point" in this post on the same thread.

And so, if you wanted to examine the Orwellian language of Newspeak, you might also take a look at it here on Free Republic, in terms of what the issues are going to be in terms of "supporting the troops" while a pull-out is going on in Iraq (coming up in the 2008 Presidential elections), and if it is even possible to discuss the political ramifications of this, without forcing everyone's "speech" into the "Newspeak" category, instead of "Oldspeak".

We can see the "principles of Newspeak" here from George Orwell, himself.
