Is it just me, or do you get a Nineteen Eighty-Four vibe from the Obama Administration lately?
We no longer have the War on Terror - it is now "Overseas Contingency Operations"
Acts of terrorism are now called "man-created disasters"
We can no longer use the words "terrorist" or "enemy combatant"
Andrew Breitbart (his blog here) made a great point on Sean Hannity tonight. Look at how Democrats treat political enemies compared to how they treat America's enemies. Barney Frank calls Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a "homophobe" but we can't call someone who blows up buildings containing women and children a "terrorist"?
You look at the massive smear campaign against Rush Limbaugh and all Republicans, orchestrated by James Carville and approved by the White House and you have to think a bit about "Hate Week" from Orwell's novel - a time in which citizens are stirred up against the enemies of "The Party".
And does anyone get a "cult of personality" feel from Obama - especially when he chooses to bypass a skeptical Washington Press Corp and take his message directly to media outlets that are much more friendly?
Or am I just paranoid?

Personally, I'm offended by the term "man-created disasters." Women are just as capable of creating disasters as men are.
or child-created disasters...
the true problem is that not all things that man does is terrorism. Is an arsonist a terrorist? No - but the Obama Administration is going to treat a terrorist just like any other criminal.
