Illegal Immigrant: The New Development In Newspeak

Post by _bcspace »

Associated Press Drops 'Illegal Immigrant' From Stylebook

"For example, the word "free" still existed in Newspeak but could only be used in terms of something not being possessed as in, "the dog is free from lice" or, "this field is free from weeds." It could not be used in terms of being able to do as one pleases, as in "free choice" or" free will" since these concepts no longer existed. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum. Any redundancies in the English language were removed."

They ought to drop "illegal," from all the drugs that they think they should be able to traffic. Defending the rights of street pharmacists!

I think I should be able to own missiles. Let's just call it an undocumented firearm. After all, if I don't agree with the law, I shouldn't be bound to it, right?
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
