Incremental Orwellianism

  • President Obama claims that the religious institutions really don't have to compromise their principles.
  • President Obama has proclaimed that contraceptive and sterilization devices, drugs and services must be provided FREE.
  • When someone must provide a product or service under penalty of law, that is SLAVERY.
If the Republican Party is really the party of economic freedom, why don't they plainly warn against slavery when it's been proposed by our dictator President?


I never quite understood the Ingsoc slogan "Freedom is Slavery" in Orwell's 1984. I now do.
Being forced to do something for free is slavery.

The silence from what claims to be the Right "leadership" is simply unacceptable. Maybe tomorrow talk radio will pick up my perspective. Don't hold your breath!

Maybe it's time to think of Obama as merely the face of Big Brother. The two parties are one when only your humble blogger, a nobody, states what should be obvious to leaders of a real opposition.


Look for new leaders or get comfortable being slaves.

Your being convinced to accept chains has been less clear before. How about now? When is incrementalism no longer incremental?

  1. It's amazing, then again maybe it's not, how this gets a free pass with nearly everyone!

  2. It's because of the higher likelihood of your second phrase that I labelled this "betrayal."

    Notice how closely the sentence -- If the Republican Party is really the party of economic freedom, why don't they plainly warn against slavery when it's been proposed by our President? -- parallels the more ominous observation in this blog's masthead.

    Fear and stupidity and even cupidity are simply inadequate to explain such consistent silence.
