It is said that Bush uses the Constitution as toilet paper. That our government runs like the fictional authorities in Orwell's 1984 and Kafka's The Trial.
Do Bush's maxims include "Ignorance is Strength", and "Freedom is Slavery"? Does he want to eliminate language so as to constrict thought?
After all, expansive, nuanced language leads to complicated ideas. Round-the-clock surveillance? Pshaw! A constant state of war? Balderdash.
Can you be arrested for no reason and subjected to the "judicial" process without ever knowing what it is "they" think you've done? You are never told what you are on trial for. Upon declaring your innocence, you are interrogated, "Innocent of what?"
I wrote a two-part series in my blog about the scary state of affairs we find ourselves in:
How Bush's Definitions of Habeas Corpus and Enemy Combatant Combine to Destroy Our Rights
How Bush's Definitions of Habeas Corpus and Enemy Combatant Combine to Destroy the Constitution and All Our Rights, Part II
Enter, one and all.
