Well, obviously you haven't been keeping up with my posts recently, have you? You missed the ones where I was talking about the tornadoes in Dallas and in Tulsa, didn't you? Well, of course you did, or you wouldn't have been saying that.
But, actually, I'm an Okie, in Texas, having some connections to Oregon (having been there, too). I'm currently in Texas and have been for a while, having lived in Texas for many years (a long time ago, too) and have been here for a while, recently (a few years).
I'll probably end up in Oklahoma, as that's where I'm from originally. And I've still got stuff in Oregon, so I'll be picking that up and then back down to this part of the country again.
However, what this really represents, is what I was saying in the previous post, talking about "Newspeak". This is another half-way example of it, in that it's supposed to be giving people a way to "frame" their thought processes before they even think about something. The issues don't matter any more, as long as you can "frame it" the way you want at first -- then there is no more "thinking" involved.
That's why you find a lot of references here to liberals, and conservatives, and support the troops and left and right and..., well, you name it. You can find it all here on Free Republic. The idea is the same as is presented in 1984 (by George Orwell), in that it doesn't matter what you're yelling and screaming for, as long as y'all are doing it together using Newspeak. Next year, everyone will be yelling about a completely different and very much possibly, an opposite thing. But, no one will know or understand that, because Newspeak is cast in only supoort or opposition and only in black and white, with no understanding of any other issues.
You can take a look at the idea of "support the troops" and how people have put a wrong linkage in there, which causes a denial of reality, that is evident on a lot of threads that pop up with this.
I must say that Free Republic does make a good case study for Newspeak. It's very interesting...
