Freedom is about Authority
58 years after Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four was published, we have a presidential candidate who espouses the ideals of Orwell's nightmare:
"Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."
-Rudy Giuliani

Gee, that sounds familiar:
"War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."
- Campaign slogan of the Inner Party
