So we are to imagine that those who objected to Biden's having stolen the election are responsible for the violence at the Capitol? And that, going forward, any public official who questions Biden's win should be removed from office, and that any corporate leader who objects should be fired? All this when the truth is that Trump in all likelihood won the election.It is the perfect example of Orwellian speech. In his classic essay "Politics and the English Language," Orwell spoke of the condition where "words and meaning have almost parted company." If that "almost" is a measure of Orwellian speech, then today's Democrat leaders

Orwell was right, but he got the date a little bit early. We are now entering into the times he wrote about.

Oh!! they cheated alright, and they got the win.
Now: Instead of taking that win and trying to lead the country in a halfway decent manner they want to take revenge on anyone or any entity that objected to their theft.
It's going to be a year of problems, with Biden determined to destroy anything that Trump built and passing out money that doesn't exist to pay back who stupidly voted for him.

# 2 You don't get it. The left truly believes that it is their right to RULE America. Rule, not govern. They also believe that America exists for their benefit. And if you're in a certain age group they would be very happy if you died because you're not contributing, you're costing the govt money.

Yes, #1. We are now just seeing the tip of the political iceberg.

Is American Thinker still allowed to publish this kind of thing?

There is a vast difference between seizing Power and being able to hold onto it. Let's just pass on D.C. for now, we have to put pressure on the State Governments to enact fraud-free voting laws.

#5, yes. They never said there was no fraud, or no stolen election. What they said was that they would stop saying Dominion's machines were created for cheating, or that there was something systemic in the machines involved in the cheating.

I can tell you confidently that the Orwellian nightmare stops cold as a stone at the Texas border. North and South.

Yup, the Democrats definitely have the Orwellian-speak perfected:
Affordable Care Act (Hahahahaaaaaa).
ANY law with the word "Reform" in it.
Planned Parenthood (don't they actually kill the child as part of their "plan" to NOT become a parent?).

Anyone questioning that the election was stolen should be removed from office, including Biden and Harris.

#8, Tarrant county (Fort Worth) hired a former Dominion voting machine executive for its elections administrator. It went blue for the first time ever in Nov 2020.
I am tempted to withdraw because I’m so tired of hearing and reading about the corrupt dims.
But continuing to vote and donate is mandatory- as a minimum.

#3, Cuomo, and other progressive politicians, putting Covid patients in nursing homes comes to mind. MSM didn't even bat an eye. Truth speak rules the day!

Somebody with some honest go-power should make a complete list of all the things that the Democrats and their media propaganda arms claimed that Trump would do by way of misusing his Presidential authority since Trump was elected, that in reality that Trump never did.
No doubt there are a lot of really nasty Democrats who would indict Trump at the drop of a hat in the DC federal courts in an act of political persecution, and put Trump in Judge Emmitt Sullivan’s kangaroo courtroom where Trump would be given the “General Flynn” treatment.

I hate you American Thinker. I hate you Andrea Widburg. I hate you Thomas Lifson. I hate you all for folding to the commie threats. No comment section. Big quavering apologies all around. You are pusillanimous fools and no longer deserve to exist.

You are showcasing your ignorance, #14. Perhaps doing a bit of research might let you understand that they had absolutely no choice in the matter.

Nothing Orwellian about this. His world was designed with believable lies and constant citizen surveillance to make sure that everybody is in sync with the madness or risk punishment. Most of us will never believe what is coming out of Washington and the tracking of citizens has been going on for decades while most of us do not care. It's not so much the government as big corporations and advertisers trying to determine what our buying habits are. Government knows that we hate both parties, thus the lies, secrecy and National Guard to protect them from us.
