Rep. Edward Markey (D - Massachusetts)

"I am not surprised that House Republicans would decide to throw any reference to climate change down a legislative Orwellian memory hole."

I'm sure Markey fancies himself a know-it-all genius, because he's an enlightened Liberal, but I'm thinking he doesn't know what 'Orwellian' means.

Orwellian:  of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or resembling the literary work of George Orwell or the totalitarian future described in his antiutopian novel 1984 - dictionary.reference.com

If either party is 'Orwellian', with "totalitarian" desires, it is the Democrat Party, which wants to control our every action...In fact, there are only two things in American life Democrats are less restrictive of than Republicans:  Abortion and gay marriage.

Just ask yourself:  Which party wants to stop me from ___________ (fill in the blank)?

I'm excluding the truly sick stuff from this question - letting killers and rapists out of prison, coddling pedophiles, etc...But if you ask it, you know the Democrats are on the wrong side of the question most of the time; even when they aren't more restrictive.

If you ask the 'Which party wants to stop me from?' question enough times, you'll surely find some things the Republicans are more restrictive of.  But if you're honest, you will find the Democrats are more restrictive much more often...Which is why the Democrat Party is the 'Orwellian', Utopian party, and the Republicans are the anti-Orwellian, "antiutopian" party.
