Thought Control Central Awards Its Top Cop The Top Prize

The Orwellian farce (and we all know that farces end in tragedy) that is Barack Obama and his commissars, er, administration got even more farcical when Top Thought Police Sergeant Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today.

At least the peace committee’s decision clarifies just exactly how we should think–never as George Bush but always as Barack Orwell, er, Obama.

But those of us who’ve been closely closely watching this media- and liberal-elite orchestrated takeover of America knew that all along. It’s now just a matter of time before the Obama thought Police silence all critics, even an insignificant one like me. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Fairness Doctrice reinstated and applied to the Web–even to the point that bloggers have to sign up for an open slot on the political spectrum–if you’re conservative, libertarian or the least bit Obama-critical anyway.

What struck me about the Nobel Peace Committee’s decision is not that it happened; that was guaranteed ages ago when Barack first started campaigning. No, what struck me was the timing of it all. Couldn’t they at least have waited until Barack did a photo op and brief handshake with a leading terrorist of the world, say the leader of Iran, Syria or Hamas? At least then they could pretend he was doing something for peace besides selling America out, which is exactly what he would do if he met any of those people anyway. I guess they didn’t care about the unseemliness of it all; it was more important to align Americans to the correct, socialistic way of thinking.

In the end, it must have been that making a concession speech abrogating American power in Cario, coupled with a genuflexion in front of King Abdoullah of Saudi Arabia, was enough in the way of credentials.

Advance notice: Next year’s Nobel Peace Prize will go to the world’s leading far-left propagandist, filmmaker Michael Moore.

Can’t wait, although think about it–Moore will have tough competition in Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden and maybe even a repeat for chief race-baiter Jimmy Carter.

 

Death Panels in Great Britain: What the Demofiends Covet for U.S. Health Care

DoubleSpeak in Great Britain is alive and well–and putting people out of their misery by making sure they’re not "overmedicalised."

Sounds a lot like Hitler’s T-4 plan for the disabled and mentally ill in Germany–deny them food and care until they die–but this is being done under Great Britain’s program called the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), sanctioned and operated by the country’s socialized National Health Service.

My, think of all the lovely Pounds Sterling they save by depriving people of care when their taxpaying days are behind them and they’ve become, well, let’s borrow from Hitler again, "useless eaters."

The LCP scheme encourages doctors and other health care staff to consider removing medication, fluids and other treatments that no longer benefit the patient. (How exactly they know if these items are benefitting or not benefitting the patient is anyone’s guess, which makes it pretty easy to play God.)

Anyway, you get the picture–Hitler was right. Just get rid of people when they can’t work and pay taxes.

Read the real-life story of Eric Troake, who has been taken off fluids and medications and now wants to die because he feels so awful (yes, the fluids evidently weren’t benefitting him but he sure felt better before, which isn’t a good enough benefit), in "Daughter claims father wrongly placed on controversial NHS end of life [sic] scheme."

Somewhere, George Orwell must be smiling and cringing at the same time.
