I'm talking about the use of language for effect. My reference to Goebbels concerning Paul Ryan's lies was echoed by CA Democratic Party Chairman John Burton today, Sept. 3rd. He backed off after starting a firestorm of criticism. I wish he had stood his ground.

I've read both "1984" and "Animal Farm"; the chanting "we built that" at the RNC reminded me of the sheep. Republicans have used both books, not as warnings, but how-to manuals for years, but surely have amped up the useage during this administration. The South has never gotten over the Civil War, rural folk still distrust city folk(and vice-versa), and xenophobia lies thinly veiled over by "civility".
