A letter writer in today’s Wall Street Journal sees the Obama administration as increasingly like the state that emerged in Orwell’s Animal Farm. Here’s the letter:
The parallels between the actions of this administration and the leaders in George Orwell’s book “Animal Farm” are amazing. I presume under the Obama transparency dictum the five principles of the administration, as spelled out by Mr. Summers in his defense of President Obama, will soon be painted on the side of the Capitol as the Seven Commandments in “Animal Farm” were painted on the barn. If so, we’ll have the opportunity to observe as the text changes and the changes are explained in fanciful rhetoric that the populace will accept. Meanwhile, capitalism dies and free choice goes with it.
