Quick question: how many people replying to this thread have actually read 1984?
"1984" and Orwell's other work "Animal Farm" were mandatory reading with most high school students - we covered them in 9th and 10th grade. That was the dark ages of the mid '70's. My kids had to read them, but that was several years ago (pre-Obama). I don't know if they're on the curriculum now.
Was this one covered? Doomsday prepper: Those of us who have an interest in learning the old arts of self sufficiency so we will be able to take care of ourselves without society/government/technology. In other words, "paranoid crackpots".
Another one: Freedom from religion. It means you are not allowed to practice or express or display your Christian religion publicly so as not to offend others of other faiths (i.e. Muslim) and atheists.
"The 2nd amendment protects against government tyranny" - The unrestricted right to kill police officers, bus drivers, 1st graders, black teenagers, and anyone else you think is a threat based on your prejudices, suspicions, or mental instability.
