DUBBYA DOES DOUBLESPEAK

Does this look like Peace to you?
Does this look like Peace to you?

In 1948, George Orwell published the political satire “1984” in which Big Brother was watching us, (can you say Patriot Act?) and politicians engaged in Doublethink. Some examples of this:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

In a press conference last week George W Bush was quoted as saying:

DEMOCRACIES DON’T WAR, DEMOCRACIES ARE PEACEFUL COUNTRIES

Given that the United States of America prides itself as a Democracy and that they have been dropping bombs on other countries non-stop since World War II, I find this disgustingly deceitful.
