In case no one has noticed, our dear president Obama has changed the rhetoric used as
cover for our Orwellian systems state of permanent war…. The term “War on Terror” is bad
enough, it implies an endless war requiring an Orwellian intrusive state. But at least
it seemed circumscribed to opponents it could describe as being involved in terror.
Obama is now calling it the “War on extremism”. That term sends Orwellian shivers down
my spine; it is so broad and arbitrary in nature and can be used to describe any and all
opponents.
Sigh, everybody's so paranoid about government. Obama started using "extremism" because
the chattering classes kept pointing out that terrorism is just a tactic and you can't
make war on a tactic.
