Orwellian Named
Something named the opposite of what it really is. Such as "The Ministry of Love" in the Orwell novel 1984
The George Bush II administration and Congress has put forth several shining examples of Orwellian Named acts and proposals-
No Child left behind
The Patriot Act
Other examples are-
Children's Protective Service
The
Orwellian-named "Child Welfare System" has been a monster since
day one. It had nothing to do with anything GOOD for children.
It started as CAPTA
1974 when Fritz Mondale pushed it, jockeying to run for Prez.
Fritz ended up being Jimmy Carter's Veep in 1976. If you
think Bush is a screw up, you aren't old enough to remember what Carter-
Mondale did.
CAPTA '74 was already a "Dickensian disaster" by 1976. Numerous attempts have been made to "fix" the system over the years. There is NO "fixing" it. It was corrupt the day it became law, and it is a monster today. Government has no Constitutional business messing with families. NOTE TO OUR "REPRESENTATIVES": Destroy this monster and everything to do with it. "You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered." -Lyndon B.
