If you came out of high school and college in the 1970s...there was a 10-percent chance that you read ‘1984’ at some point and were aware of the story. Today? I would suggest that less than .5-percent have read the book. You can find journalists with the top networks who will admit that they’ve never read the book.

Should it surprise anyone that "1984" was one of Hillary's favorite childhood books?

The other one was "Animal Farm."

It’s more than a little disturbing how fast these changes are happening and being pushed.

One wonders IF the pendulum will one day swing back the other way. I have no doubt if Hitlery had been elected all of this would have gone into warp speed with little we could do other than be in that civil war we were all looking at before President Trump was elected.

I think the only way that venomous snake was going to stop is if its head had been removed. All the heads of all the snakes (rats).

Item #7. Conformity re the Pink Pussy Hat Wearers.

They are stupid but if you want to have fun, get one or make a big one and put an “Animal House” saying on it, like they did to Flounder’s Continental. It said in big letters, “EAT ME”!

You’ll get a lot of laughs from our side, but I hope you can run like hell from the Left.

However, if you stage it properly, letting local and friendly TV and videogroups know what you are going to do, as you run from the mob of Pink Pussy Hats, you can say loudly to the world (via TV or video), “I didn’t know Vaginas could run so fast!!”

Let the laughter begin!!

Ayn Rand’s “Anthem” can also be thrown into the mix as a book that was written as a warning becoming a “how to” book by the Leftists.

3,936,256=1984 squared. What we’re experiencing is way more sophisticated and evil than the book. Because so far the end hasn’t happened.

There were the huge printing shops with their sub-editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs.

MSM early pictures of Trump- - showing him to be 'orange'...

Orwell didn't think these up. They were a description of his interactions with the communists who were fighting the Spanish “Civil War”.

Orwell was an English leftist who joined the communists against the Spanish. Like many on the “republican” side he went to Spain to advance the communist revolution. I read that he never stopped being a leftist even though he saw and reported what they were like in Spain.

What's sad is the anti-Spanish propaganda is so strong, the communist talking points about Franco are still parroted by many.

Read 1984, Animal Farm and Brave New World way back in the 1960s. Frightening how much of it is becoming true today.
