Human inventiveness has kicked Statists’ ass up and down the sidewalk again.

Iranian dictators don’t know how to deal with twitter, YouTube.

This is where my Great Uncle George Orwell went wrong in 1948 when he wrote 1984....he didn’t foresee how the same technology that could be used to oppress people can be used to free them.

It’s not really “my” point. It was from the Cliff Notes of Orwell’s novel written by an egghead who understands these things.

I read 1984 for the first time in of all years...1984 as a HS Junior. But I didn’t really read it. I just used the cliff notes and graduated HS.

Then 10 years later I really read it. As an adult. Scared the crap out of me. And it’s coming true. It was supposed to be a work of fiction, not a how to manual for liberals and authoritarians.

Fox just interviewed a young man who said that Obama is a hero among the Iranian youth. This really saddens me that they expect help from the non-meddler. The peace and love people usually side with the enemies of freedom. They are barking up the wrong tree.

Sad. If they sent hard earned money to his campaign it may well have been funding their own death.

Yeah, I noticed that on twitter.

They kept asking Bam Bam for help.

I knew it wouldn't be coming from the limp wrested one!

Sad, indeed!

The world is under his spell. The world believes in this “savior” - who actually cares not a wit for them.

Well, in Iran a thumb’s up is the equivalent of the middle finger, so if they were using the middle fingers it may be a fake.
