The destruction of words is doubleplusgood.
Police Action = War without congressional declaration.

Also know as "Humanitarian Mission" or "Peacekeeping Mission".

Lightbulb Favorite examples of NEW SPEAK

Here's mine:

"Lower the rates and expand the base" on taxes.

Translation:

Lower the rate = more tax breaks for the already wealthy

Expand the base = more taxes on the working poor

Pubs in DC, you boys ain't fooling anybody.

"Conservative" still means small govenment, low taxes, and freedom with its resulting responsibility and consequences. Its definition hasn't changed.

The Republican party used to support conservatism, but in the last fifty years has swung more and more to supporting government control of formerly-private functions and lives. THAT is what has changed... not conservatism itself.

"Liberal" used to represent freedom of choice, defense of civil libertities, tolerance of other lifestyles.
That was a VERY long time ago.

Quote:
It now means support of the police state,patriot act, nannyism, kiiling brown people with drones.
You left out "The superiority of the State over the Individual". You were fairly close in the rest, though.

"increase revenues"

I still like "hope and change" the best, though.

Spending increased tax revenues on questionable new programs equals "investment".
