Orwellian speak from the inaugural speech, what memes they be using?

[blondeatlast]

As well as what their Orwellian speech actually means.

Expansion of freedom--imperialism

Liberty

Ownership--privatization of your very soul, friends.

1. ...of tyranny to replace the Axis of Evil

Can't remember the first part of the new catch phrase. I heard this last night on Olbermann I think, or Aaron Brown since they are the only two I still watch. Someone said Bushco was going to replace "The Axis of Evil" with "something", "something" Tyranny. Condiliar used it on Tues before the Senate comittee and they replayed it last night.

Any one else catch this?

3. Guess who already has the speech posted?

Your toilet paper and mine (I wouldn't line my bird's cage with it even)--the Moonie, I mean Washington Times.

"Pretensions of tyrants," perhaps?

There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants,
and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.

2. The war on terra has disappeared. Now it's "tyranny."

We now have a war on "tyranny". I haven't figured out the Orwellian meaning of this yet. I think we will see some interesting definitions of "tyranny", since we and some of the coalition (what is left) have issues of our own with "tyranny." I couldn't stomach the whole speech. I will have to look at it in a few days.

4. yup, four legs good, two legs bad

or "freedom" (sic) good, anything that gets in the way of exploiting the world's people and its resources must be nuked.

I have fished for trout, on the Isle of Jura, where Orwell wrote the book.

5. What does...

6. From dictionary.com

A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.

Social Security "privatization," "No Child Left Behind, "Healthy Forests Initiative," death tax," etc.


The RW are masters at using "memes" in "Orwellian language" (means pretty much the opposite of or completely obscures what it really is).

7. if bush points to home "ownership," point out the bank still owns the home

8. You made a small mistake

Expansion of Freedom = Expansion of Fascism and Corporatism.
