Bulk buy by the NSA? (As an instruction manual.)

So who made the bulk buy for free distribution with some sort of subscription?

One can only hope there’s a Room 101 waiting the Obamadork sometimes in the (hopefully) very near future.

“you can read it online for free”

But then the Obamadork/felon/cretin/piece of excrement/bottom dweller/votes “present” will know what you are reading.

And of course, he will be jealous because he has not read it and wouldn’t understand it if he had the ability to read anyway.

The Rodham's favorite books were "Animal Farm" and "1984."

Personally, the only thing I truly remember reading as a kid in "1984" was when the guy was forced to have the cage put over his head where they let in the hungry rats.

Come to think of it, that may be a metaphor for what the demoncRATic party is trying to do to all of us.

Orwell didn’t have the technology the NSA has today. He didn’t need it to see how things could turn out.

Now that the attention of citizens may be focused on Orwell's "1984," perhaps they will begin to examine the writings and speeches of America's founding period.

No one could describe today's events and their relationship to liberty better than the Adamses (Samuel, John, and John Quincy), Madison, Jefferson, Washington, and the other founders and framers of a "People's" Constitution for controlling the coercive power of government.

Is this an act of rebellion by many, or a desire to understand the cultural reference to the term 1984?

That gave me nightmares for a week.

Animal Farm sales SHOULD skyrocket soon, too.

I just picked it up for my Kindle. I read it back when I was a teen. My folks had it and they were shocked to see me reading it.

Today, it is damned scary to read again!
