George Bush speakes Orwellian

Orwellian Sleight Of Mouth

“War is Peace,
Freedom is Slavery,
Ignorance is Power.”
~ George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth in the novel 1984

“I reminded them and their families that the war in Iraq is really about peace.”
~ George W. Bush

Much of what Bush says is drooling idiocy, but also much of it is malicious Orwellian language. Here are some examples.

apprehended terrist (sic): A prisoner of war when the American side did the capturing.
Clear Skies initiative: guts the clean air act allowing companies to pollute.
compassionate conservativism: means nuking countries who have not attacked or even provoked you and stealing all their resources.
co-lateral damage: When Americans kill non-American civilians, even when they do it deliberately. See terrorism.
democracy: A pro-American puppet government
freedom: When the president has the freedom to put anyone in jail for as long as he wants without having to even give a reason.
Healthy Forests Initiative: hands stewardship of the forests over to the logging industry and allows renewed cutting of old growth forests.
Helping the Environment: means letting survival of the fittest (namely Republican businessmen) wipe out endangered species.
Homeland Security: Spying on your neighbours
hostage: a prisoner of war when the other side did the capturing.
imminent threat: Some guy who would like us to drop dead, who has no weapons and no money.
New Freedom Initiative: mass forced drugging of school children
No Drilling In National Parks: means no parade drills. Drilling for oil is fine, especially in the Padre Island National Seashore or in Alaskan nature preserves.
Patriot Act: Abrogating all the freedoms in the constitution.
terrorism: Anything the other guy does you don’t like, especially killing civilians or soldiers. See co-lateral damage.
