Obama: “ Vote for me because there are still some of you who have to work for a living”

[sickoflibs]

RE :” The Tea Party should have been picketing the major networks. “

I saw on FNC + Friends this morning that Honey Boo Boo beat out Clinton's DNC speech on Wednesday. Not kidding:

Honey Boo Boo Show Equals TV Ratings For Bill Clinton’s DNC Speech/

Tea party threw away their protest signs when Boehner took over the House. If Romney wins expect frequent large liberal protests being organized against him even bigger than those against Bush with a sympathetic media. Obama has them all terrified and in a rage against Romney.

The blacks are scared that Romney will put them back in chains .

[GeronL]

So basically Obama promised more poverty and suffering for years to come, its all “necessarily a part of my plan” like skyrocketing energy prices. He might as well have come out and said “The Great Slump Forward will bring years of pain but I will keep promises you Utopia at the end because you people are freaking stupid enough to believe it”

” I saw on FNC + Friends this morning that Honey Boo Boo beat out Clinton’s DNC speech on Wednesday.”

I hope Cowboys-Giants beat it

BRILLIANT ANALYSIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sickoflibs]

”Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.”
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 3 ‘1984’ Quotes

He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell, 1984

The Ministry of Truth is involved with news media, entertainment, the fine arts and educational books. Its purpose is to rewrite history and change the facts to fit Party doctrine for propaganda effect. For example, if Big Brother makes a prediction that turns out to be wrong, the employees of the Ministry of Truth go back and rewrite the prediction so that any prediction Big Brother previously made is accurate. This is the “how” of the Ministry of Truth's existence. Within the novel Orwell elaborates that the deeper reason for its existence is to maintain the illusion that the Party is absolute. It cannot ever seem to change its mind (if, for instance, they perform one of their constant changes regarding enemies during war) or make a mistake (firing an official or making a grossly misjudged supply prediction), for that would imply weakness and to maintain power the Party must seem eternally right and strong.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
George Orwell, 1984

Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
George Orwell, 1984

‘We are the priests of power. God is power. But at present power is only a word so far as you are concerned. It is time for you to gather some idea of what power means. The first thing you must realize is that power is collective. The individual only has power in so far as he ceases to be an individual. You know the Party slogan: “Freedom is Slavery”. Has it ever occurred to you that it is reversible? Slavery is freedom. Alone — free — the human being is always defeated. It must be so, because every human being is doomed to die, which is the greatest of all failures. But if he can make complete, utter submission, if he can escape from his identity, if he can merge himself in the Party so that he is the Party, then he is all-powerful and immortal.

I learned that Jennifer Granholm is a bulldyke in drag.

RE :”I learned that Jennifer Granholm is a bulldyke in drag.”

That was one hell of a show she put on screaming and shaking her fists. Yep, her voice sounded pretty masculine

Jennifer Granholm DNC Speech Highlights: 'Rev Up Your Engines'

she adds "...and not Bain capital" LOL

Good post

[sickoflibs]

In the current case the Dems use ‘independent’ study groups and the CBO fed their own bogus assumptions to certify that Obama is current after the fact as well as before, examples are the Obama-care cost estimates and the number of jobs created by stimulus , as made up by CBO. Add the Dem fact checking groups.

[sickoflibs]

not ‘current’, should be ‘correct’

Duh

[sickoflibs]

A little over a week ago a few were going into a tizzy about some Ann Romney jokes I made on a AR worship thread, some even accused me of being a Obama supporter OH-NO,
It was pretty funny from my perspective to find those with no sense of humor.

Well they were right HA-HA, check out my Obama worship rant above. “WE WONT GO BACK”

You missed a show.

It’s as though they took the book 1984, which was meant as a warning against what could happen, and they used it as an instruction book on how to fool people into becoming and being a one hundred percent oppressed society. They are 1984, except things in “1984” were better than they will be if these people succeed.

When I dreamed this one up (which started as a comment response that I saw promise in ) I saw some parallels with 1984 propaganda.

So I added this : #28

Let's re post your comment, as it is very apropo to what the "democrats" are doing more and more as of late. They seem to use the book "1984" as an instruction book on how to fool people into becoming and being a one hundred percent oppressed society. I once read that "1984" was one of Hillary Clinton's favorite books. It must of been as an instruction book, rather than a book of warning. Here is your post again:

When Dems lost big against GWB in 2004 they were very demoralized, and very mad.

I started studying them : Moyer, DU, Jesse Jackson, Democracy Now .... at first for laughs, I remember that they were training each other in how to ‘frame arguments’as they called it.

They were learning and teaching how to take each issue they were losing and reframe it so that the majority of voters would support it and them, by looking at the Rs weak points. By fall 2005 they had taken the initiative and GWB and Co (Rs) were on the defensive and would stay that way till 2009.

The show they put on last week was masterful for emotions of those not following closely. They made sure the world knows they love and trust Obama to save them and us. Republicans didn't do that with Romney.
