True Democrats don't work to slash Social Security. They don't. Not Ever.

Orwell, 1984: "Doublethink"

Some of the posters here are poster children for Orwell.

On the one hand, Republicans are crazy fanatics who should never be allowed within a mile of the White House; on the other hand, we're supposed to reach across the aisle to these maniacs.

They've also got the "Memory Hole" working overtime.

Obama never said that, no sirreee!!!! You liar, racist, Romney supporter!!! Heresy!!!

In the novel, the memory hole is a slot into which government officials deposit politically inconvenient documents and records to be destroyed. Nineteen Eighty-Four's protagonist Winston Smith, who works in the Ministry of Truth, is routinely assigned the task of revising old newspaper articles in order to serve the propaganda interests of the government.

For example, if the government had pledged that the chocolate ration would not fall below the current 30 grams per week, but in fact the ration is reduced to 20 grams per week, the historical record (for example, an article from a back issue of the Times newspaper) is revised to contain an announcement that a reduction to 20 grams might soon prove necessary, or that the ration, then 15 grams, would soon be increased to that number. The original copies of the historical record are deposited into the memory hole.
