The LA Times reports that sales of the book, which concerns a discontented propagandist working for the Ministry of Truth in a time of endless war, are up 5,771 percent as of Tuesday morning. From a sales rank of 12,507 in the days before The Guardian published top-secret government documents provided by Snowden, "1984" has risen to crack Amazon's top 200.

It sure doesn't hurt the conservative cause.

Hey, I've got a suggestion.

A couple years ago when the big Obama agenda was having the rich pay their “fair share” Atlas Shrugged started looking less like fiction. In fact one might find it entertaining to move said tome from the fiction to the history section in your local book store. You can put it right between a couple books on Obama.

another good book is “it can’t happen here” by sinclair lewis

Amen ! not only George Orwell's 1984 novel but sales of the bible and any thing on the end times, the anti-christ will sky rocket.

Good for them!

Ping list was edited by a cat, really. I patched it back together, so if you want to be off or on let me know.

Buy your copy of “1984” before they get heated to “Fahrenheit 451”!!!;)

I believe it. It's a little scary when a cat saves a file after he is through editing it.

Just wanted to say "good night" to FR, patriots, and assorted governmental agencies reading this.

A friendly reminder to the NSA. The excuse, "we were just following orders," will get you a front seat at the next Nuremberg trials.

Sleep tight ya'all.

People want to know more about the blueprint this administration is using... they will be astounded.

post this from and wide of forums/social sites/your email contacts - what should really give people a chill is that this was made years ago....but even then, it wasn’t fiction - it was a wake up call.

so Wake TFU, America

A lot more people would watch a video than read a book - make this go viral -

Bah.

[Jack Hammer]

Orwell was all wrong.

His date was too early and his views were far too sunny and optimistic.

Obama's latest slogan. . .

I used to think I was of average intelligence, but now I'm convinced I'm a genius.

I re-read 1984 several years ago--probably because I'm also prescient. But I read Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire back in during the Carter Administration, for the same reason.

I'm not alone. Highly intelligent people are drawn to FreeRepublic like a magnet.

Every kid in America, by the ninth grade, should read 1984 and Animal Farm. They ought to toss in two weeks studying the Frenchman Tocqueville and his trip across America.
