Agreed.
However, let us also take into consideration the unabated and relentless campaign against Mr. Bush perpetrated by the “Unholy Trio” (The Media, Academia, and Hollywood). The scurrilous assault against Dubya began BEFORE the 2000 election was even decided, and (with a tiny hiatus on 9/11/01) reached a crescendo in the last two years. A lot of the hatred remains, even here on FR. It became fashionable, hip, and “intellectual” to bash Bush. I did not agree with everything he did, but I have never in my life seen such a concerted effort to ridicule and denigrate the leader of my country. Obama won his first election, not only with voter fraud, but by riding a wave of hate, similar to The “Two Minute Hate” campaign in “1984”. The same “Hate Bush” Energy ginned up by this Unholy Trio is now being used to Worship Obama. The institutions that were founded to educate, inform, and entertain us have become the Propaganda Arm of the left...in other words, the “Ministry of Truth”.
It is a grave sin on the part of our Nation, and I wonder if we can recover from it.
Well said. What's happening before are eyes today definitely has parallels to what George Orwell warned us about. I'm wondering whether Orwell is banned now in high schools and colleges.
