Please tell me this is a joke.

really. i heard the whole thing on c span. ms cheney was the only adult on the stage.

 

there are very few "far leftists " in wyoming and ms cheney is certaunly not one of them.

 

Statements in context don't make the woke cult clutch their tinkles quite as much.

 

Too bad she's probably out. Maybe she should have thought more about serving her constituency rather than pleasing the left.

 

You people all seem to love her so yeah she really is if she wasn't you wouldn't like her.

 

she is not "pleasing the left," but she is living up to her oath, something so many trumpists, including dear leader, find inconvenient.

 

well thanks for telling me who i should "love." that being one of the many authoritarian aspects of trumpism.

if i may be permitted, i "respect" ms cheney for her patriotism and principles, so lacking throughout her party.

Dear Mr. Orwell,

It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book. It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is. May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution? The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual’s psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf. The philosophy of the ruling minority in Nineteen Eighty-Four is a sadism which has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it. Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. I have had occasion recently to look into the history of animal magnetism and hypnotism, and have been greatly struck by the way in which, for a hundred and fifty years, the world has refused to take serious cognizance of the discoveries of Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, and the rest.

Partly because of the prevailing materialism and partly because of prevailing respectability, nineteenth-century philosophers and men of science were not willing to investigate the odder facts of psychology for practical men, such as politicians, soldiers and policemen, to apply in the field of government. Thanks to the voluntary ignorance of our fathers, the advent of the ultimate revolution was delayed for five or six generations. Another lucky accident was Freud’s inability to hypnotize successfully and his consequent disparagement of hypnotism. This delayed the general application of hypnotism to psychiatry for at least forty years. But now psycho-analysis is being combined with hypnosis; and hypnosis has been made easy and indefinitely extensible through the use of barbiturates, which induce a hypnoid and suggestible state in even the most recalcitrant subjects.

Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large-scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds.

Thank you once again for the book.

Yours sincerely,

Aldous Huxley

 

You're praising her. You vote for her if you like her so much.

 

Did you not bother to watch the whole debate, the link for which I also posted? Watch it, and you will see the OP truly does the job without any context distortion.

 

Too bad you aren't in the party.

 

no and I don't really care to.

 

i would never vote for her.

i am not a "conservative" and am not impressed with dear leader's "strength" or "animal magnetism."

 

Me either.

 

The former is true - at least to some degree .. the latter sounds a bit off the farm.

 

Seems a bit off-topic, but Wow. This is an interesting letter. Where/How In-The-World did you run across this!?

 

there are a lot of strange and curious items out there in the digital cosmos. i think i came across that one while researching sirhan sirhan's connection to mk ultra.

 

The woman in blue is the crank Trump endorsed. We are failing as a country. Liz was the only sane candidate on the stage.

 

Like a 12 year old.

 

12 year olds could do a better job than the octogenarians we have running the country now.

 

Supposing you were voting in the state of Wyoming, you would vote Republican? If I recall correctly, you also live here in Houston and are gay and pursuing a career in law enforcement. Do you vote Republican across the board? If so, are the values that convince you to vote with Republicans sufficiently important to you that you would support Republicans if they were to return to their long held staunch opposition to gay marriage? Happy with recent SCOTUS rulings are you? How about the overturn of Obergefell v. Hodges? Would that please you? What are the positions that Republicans stand for that you would side with them over this issue that I assume you would agree is well better supported on your behalf by the left?

Why do argue in this thread that the video is fake? Because you find that it portrays the candidates in an unfavorable light is the obvious connection, but given the general bent of your posts here at PF I rather suspect you believe that it is your superior intellect that allows you see through the vast sea of bullshit that all other mere mortals find themselves drowning in. Nice avatar, btw.

That one in blue - I hate to be judgemental but she reminds me of the “school master” out of “Matilda”

 

And when Trump runs in 2024 he will be how old?

 

Trump's done already haven't you heard? I'm a DeSantis guy he's who the Dems need to fear in 2024. I hope they put Hillary up against him that would be so sweet
