Strike The Root: Newspeak From Our Dear Leader

Newspeak From Our Dear Leader

"I'll say that the world is more peaceful and more free under my leadership," Bush told reporters. "And America is more secure." He said that is how he will describe his foreign policy in his second presidential campaign.

Funny, but I thought he was only the president of the United States. Now he says that "the world" is "under my leadership." It's been obvious for some time that the guy thinks he runs the world, but he's never admitted it before.

The world is "more peaceful"?! This from the guy who read stories to kids while the 9/11 attacks took place and who started two wars, the latter of which was clearly unnecessary and counterproductive?

I don't know about you, but I don't feel a whole heck of a lot "more free," either. Just read the Federal Register Watch archives, or consider the PATRIOT Act and other usurpations of our liberties. If you want to know about freedom in other parts of the world, ask the Iraqis who now have to fear the midnight knock on (or kick in) the door from the American soldiers, whose wives have been held hostage by the Americans until they surrender, or whose presses have been shut down because they printed the truth.

"America is more secure?" Hey, Mr. President! Ever hear of Nathaniel Heatwole? If America is so much more secure, how come the terrorist alert level is still yellow?

You can go ahead and describe your foreign policy this way all the way through next November, but with each attack in Iraq and security breach in the U. S., your words become ever more hollow.

The scariest part is he stands a good chance of being re-elected.

Just an aside, but I don't think the alert level was lowered when Tom Ridge was attending a game the World Series.

Maybe Yellow is the new "normal."

Posted by: Ryn at October 29, 2003 11:43 AM

"Yellow/upgraded" has been on my TV screen for many weeks now. Does this mean it has just been upgraded to yellow -- or that we should remain alert to a further upgrade? It sounds like Peter crying "wolf", only there is no wolf -- just a way of keeping the terror of 911 in our minds, so we accept whatever "protection" government hands down.

The article also mentioned that Bush felt "... the Senate must step up to its 'serious constitutional responsibilities' by confirming [his] judicial nominees. "More than one third of my nominees for circuit court are still awaiting a [confirmation] vote, Bush said."

The damage he has already done to the Constitution is atrocious. How much more is he planning, once his judicial choices are in place? The answer lies in the several subjects he addresses: the Middle East, domestic business, health care, abortion, tax cuts, and "needless and costly government regulations (aren't they all?). God help us!

Well, here it is, 1983, so it won't be long before you start reading a
lot of boring stories about people like Vance Hartke. Hartke is a
governor or mayor or something from one of the flatter states, and the
reason you'll be reading about him is that he's one of the 50 top
contenders for the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination. These men
will spend the next 18 months going around the country engaging in the
most degrading activities imaginable, such as wearing idiot hats and
appearing on Meet the Press. Meet the Press is one of those Sunday
morning public interest shows that the public is not the least bit
interested in. It features a panel of reporters who ask questions of a
guest politician, who wins an Amana home freezer if he can get through
the entire show without answering a single question ...

To understand this important story, you have to understand how the
telephone company works. Your telephone is connected to a local
computer, which is in turn connected to a regional computer, which is
in turn connected to a loudspeaker the size of a garbage truck on the
lawn of Edna A. Bargewater of Lawrence, Kan.

Whenever you talk on the phone, your local computer listens in. If it
suspects you're going to discuss an intimate topic, it notifies the
computer above it, which listens in and decides whether to alert the
one above it, until finally, if you really humiliate yourself, maybe
break down in tears and tell your closest friend about a sordid
incident from your past involving a seedy motel, a neighbor's spouse,
an entire religious order, a garden hose and six quarts of tapioca
pudding, the top computer feeds your conversation into Edna's
loudspeaker, and she and her friends come out on the porch to listen
and drink gin and laugh themselves silly.

... This striving for excellence extends into people's personal lives
as well. When '80s people buy something, they buy the best one, as
determined by (1) price and (2) lack of availability. Eighties people
buy imported dental floss. They buy gourmet baking soda. If an '80s
couple goes to a restaurant where they have made a reservation three
weeks in advance, and they are informed that their table is available,
they stalk out immediately, because they know it is not an excellent
restaurant. If it were, it would have an enormous crowd of
excellence-oriented people like themselves waiting, their beepers going
off like crickets in the night. An excellent restaurant wouldn't have
a table ready immediately for anybody below the rank of Liza Minnelli.
