...only an intellectual could believe them. (George Orwell)
Ran across that statement by Orwell a couple of years ago. James P. Pinkerton of Newsday used it in an editorial that was reprinted in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Might be fun to dredge up examples of events or beliefs that prove the truth of that statement.
No holds barred...anything goes. Anyone and everyone is fair game.
At a conference at Yale on the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Hannah Arendt, political scientist Benjamin Barber "dismissed the idea that Islamist fundamentalism was in any way totalitarian but suggested that given the current administration in the United States, an 'American Eichmann' is not altogether impossible."

I would hate to see this drop into the abyss without Shuckins being able to take another stab at it.
What a great set-up, Shuckins. Take us home.
