Word meanings change.  In 1963 my friend Rose was a tall, soft spoken, Southern beauty.  Today she still is but could be called simply, “hot”.  I like the old description better as she is as gorgeous now as she was then.  The word gay has certainly taken a beating.  If I talk about having a gay time in California, some might think that I was announcing a life style change and considering moving to San Francisco.  Not to worry.

George Orwell knew that word meanings change.  In his novel, 1984, government has gone mad.  Forced labor camps are called joy camps.  History is constantly being re-written. Yesterday’s news disappears in a series of pipes called “memory holes”.  Our liberal politicians today have no memory and expect us to simply forget what they said or did yesterday.  Words mean things and our government is fully involved in “new speak.”

There was a nuclear missile that was called Peacemaker.  Talk about peace!  Detonate one of these babies and there would be peace all right, but only because no one would be left alive.  Pretty interesting since DDT cannot be used to eradicate mosquitoes, yet nuclear annihilation for humans is considered “cool”, another word for okay. 

The Go-Pol constantly updates word meanings.  “Investment” for the politician means he is spending money in ways that you and I think is ridiculous.  The new definition is supposed to make us feel good about misuse of tax dollars.

“Tax cuts” have been redefined to hide the fraud of sending a rebate check to people who never paid any tax at all.  Deadbeats, now referred to as “hardworking Americans” are entitled to health and wealth regardless of what they do to take care of themselves. 

The latest from our Kenyan President is that there is no longer a Global War on Terror. We have Global Contingency Plans.  The war is over.  The Kenyan National, claiming to represent us, has said he would, in all cases, side with the Muslim.  Islamic Fundamentalists are not threats anymore.  The Prez promised Pakistan five billion U.S. Tax Dollars.  Seventeen Chinese Muslims in Club Gitmo are currently being readied for relocation to America complete with counseling, rehabilitation and job training in their new home.

So, while “cool” and “hot” appropriately describe my friend Rose, the words are not appropriate for politicians who are neither.  That bunch is populated by egomaniacs determined to drop our Constitution and way of life into Orwell’s “memory hole”.  All this amounts to treason, oppression and ultimately the end of a way of life.  Will politicians employ “Thought Police” to correct our wrong headed thinking as envisioned by Orwell?  Bet on it.
