With apologies for the appropriation of classic North Korean propaganda, but it just seemed to fit. If my email inbox is any indicator, David Horowitz is right when he warns about the dangers of Obama Derangement Syndrome.
I'll be seeing Horowitz at Tufts tonight. I'm not expecting any fireworks, but one never knows...
With apologies to whoever said it first but, I once read the line, "Never ascribe to malice what incompetence will explain." I would like to posit that the inverse of that line is just as sound. The giant radical strides along the trail that have been, and continue to be taken by this administration, because of their sheer audacity, may not have to be explained until the end of the trail is reached. It certainly appears to be ineptitude, but its being conducted with such rapidity, confidence and fearlessness that may simply belie incompetence.
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here
[the brain]" -1984 (film)
