Senate Minority Leader Mitch "Howdy Doody" McConnell (R-Kentucky) is best known as the author of 'Mitch McConnell's Book Of Elbow Care'. Just kidding! Actually he's better known for repeatedly making incongruous comparisons between campaign expenditures and the amount of money Americans spend on bubble gum. Seriously, he makes this same statement every 2 years, following each election cycle.
Now Mitch the Glitch is channeling George Orwell's '1984'. Orwell's novel was known for the maxim, "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." A few days ago, at a brief ceremony at the U.S. Capitol for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, McConnell declared, "The purpose of war is peace."
Isn't it nice to know how many parallels there are between the current Republican leadership and the totalitarian government that was the topic of '1984'?
"The purpose of war is peace"??? How did this idiot ever get elected from my state (4 times, no less)?
