Your comment makes me think of a part early in George Orwell’s 1984 in which a friend of Winston’s who was a very staunch supporter of Big Brother had a discussion with Winston in which he quoted Party ideals and related things. A while later, Winston learned that this person had been arrested and executed because he was deemed a threat to the Party.

“A while later, Winston learned that this person had been arrested and executed because he was deemed a threat to the Party.”

I listened to an FSU professor in a wheelchair and using an oxygen cylinder talk about sending Republicans to the gas chamber. My first thought was, if the new government under Obama is that powerful they will eliminate your useless eater @$$ first. They always go after other communists and social malcontents who brought them to power first. Odd how the intellectual class never seem to remember that. They all believe that the new government will knock on their parent’s basement door and beg them to come run things.
