There’s nothing more depressing than people accusing the other side of Orwellian tactics while they do the same thing. Katrina vanden Heuvel says Republicans twist the meaning of language, then offers a “dictionary” of definitions for what the GOP actually means when it uses various words.

The stubborn belief that God approves of Republican moral values despite the preponderance of textual evidence to the contrary.”
