1984

"Progressives" are notorious for changing the meaning of words. In fact, the word liberal was changed by "progressives" because of negative image of liberal policies. Although I'm still trying to figure out what's "progressive" about liberalism.

Of course, there's "choice" for abortion; "Cuts" means spending less than a 10 percent increase and "volunteer" means a paying job...........

It seems that, despite all the media attention lavished on e-mail appeals to his political supporters, not everyone pushing for President Obama's embattled healthcare reforms these warm August days is an idealistic volunteer in it for the sake of helping move the country forward and gaining medical attention for millions of uncovered Americans.

The website's large-type headline announces: "Work to Pass Obama's Healthcare Plan and Get Paid to Do it! $10-15 hr!"

It's a web ad on Craigslist: "You can work for change. Join motivated staff around the country working to make change happen. You can make great friends and money along the way. Earn $400-$600 a week."


I wonder if they're offering health insurance for that "volunteering"?

What's that definition again for "astroturfing"?

More........
