I read both "1984" and "Animal Farm."
Preferred the latter.

Have you noticed the GOP is adopting one of the lines from "Animal Farm?"

"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

BTW, this afternoon I watched the "more-Christian-than-thou" GOP in the
House debating the "Restore Freedom Of Religion" (total bullshit as to the
name) act.

It was nothing but naked pandering to the Jesus pimps they've sold their
souls to.
"Wahhhh!!! Us good Christians are being picked on by those bad old ACLU and
anyone who doesn't want our faith shoved up their ass!"

This shows all too well how insecure they are in their own faith, that they
*HAVE* to have public religious displays, proclamations, etc.
