A conservative who attacks the President in time of war, a conservative who contributes the legal maximum to a leftist candidate..........the Listeners to and disciples of the Savage Nation are practitioners of Doublethink.
In the novel 1984 George Orwell defines Doublethink as:
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one deniesall this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
How many more examples do you have and how many are needed to illuminate the Savage Hypocracy? Ignoring Double think is double plus ungood.
Starting the popcorn!
Not a Savage fan.
Is that about that "Spinal Tap" Michael Weiner?
Michael Savage is a pessemist and a blowhard. I read his book and listen to his show, and find him hard to take.
This could be vey series.
I was never a Savage fan!
Is that you, Rush?
You spelled hypocrisy wrong, BTW. LOL!
I don't know if i would have ever considered myself a fan, but at one point(for a few months) I did enjoy his show(about 3 years ago) but I have learned what he is and now only listen to him about 1 hour everyone other month just to see what he is talking about...
He's talking about food. Maybe food he ate in the 50's or food he and his dog got the night before, or food he had that morning, but he's talking about food.
Yea, or an old car or sailing... same old stuff... LOL
I love toying with the undereducated. The spelling was intentional, meaningful, and obviously more than little over your head.
The English suffix -cracy means a form of government or a state having such government. It is derived from the ancient Greek kratein, meaning "to rule". Typically, the suffix is encountered in distinguishing between different forms of government - like the dictatorship of thought some to implement on those who can see through his hypocrisy.
I'd say "impossible" to take.
Ooh, a double-entendre. I love those.
The word is "Hypocrisy."

Doublethink: A president who thinks a "path to citizenship" for illegals is not amnesty.
O.K., I've got it now.
Agreed, some of his comments make me cringe. But I love his zero tolerance on: "Hi. How ah ya? Thanks for takin' my call. I agree with you 55%of the time. . . ."
It is incumbent upon the writer to make his meaning clear. Even a double-entendre should be fashioned in such a way that both meanings become apparent.
...unless, of course, your real intent was simply to highlight your superior intellect and education for the benefit of the readers.
