Per Mayhaven (capitalization corrected):
I put far more stock in Bible prophecy than science fiction.
So do I. However, Orwell makes an unnerving case that the lust for power always brings out the worst in some people, and the best in others.
Cases in point:
John Kennedy (D, Mass) replaced two-term incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower, and promptly undid all the good Eisenhower did for black people. That was because Kennedy was brash, young, and was so far to the left that he could barely walk. Kennedy put us to a hair's breadth of nuclear warfare with the Soviet Union, blundered again with an insufficient effort at the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and violated two-dozen longstanding treaties with Vietnam by sending in the first military advisors.
Kennedy was assassinated in office, replaced with VP Lyndon B. Johnson. Even his friends called him, "The dark horse of the apocalypse." Bungled too many things to mention, bungled his way into an all-out war with Vietnam, etc.
Nixon was hated by Democrtats because he was not a Democrat (a situation that still exists as bitter as ever). Regardless, he served two terms and got us out of Vietnam, which discredited the Democrats further. "Hell hath no fury like a Democrat proven wrong." Democrats then deliberately provoked the Watergate hassle and blew it out of proportion. Nixon was guiltless but Democrat threats to continue their tacky games made him wonder if the nation could stand any more Democrat disloyalty and bitterness.
Carter replaced Nixon by sheer misfeasance. Carter was clearly inexpert and inexperienced, bungled three dozen critical affairs, and showed his embarrassing bitterness and weakness with the Iran Humiliation: 444 days of mindless dishonor. Gas went from .40/gal to $1.28/gal, putting low income families into destitution -- because Carter got personally angry at our Saudi allies, souring relations forever.
Reagan replaced Carter by the biggest lopsided landslide victory in American history. Our Iranian prisoners were released hours after the election, and back in America to celebrate the inauguration: "Democrats elected Reagan -- twice."
Bush served one term with distinction, and as expected, sulking bitter old Democrats once again proved their disloyalty by running Ross Perot to "Divide the enemy Republicans and by damn the American people too, if twe can get away with it," Bill Clinton. Clinton ran the nation repeatedly into bitter infamy, and was impeached for felony criminal misconduct -- the only time this has happened since Andrew Johnson. The Democrats hired Perot again to repeat his election racketeering efforts, but due to Democrat party gladhanding, could not be prosecuted for his felony defamation ofcharacter against the Republicans.
Bush Jr. removed the dishonor of Clinton's criminal misdoings (that still mar the "credibility" of the Democrats) but Democrat misfeasance and hate games under Clinton put the events of 9-11 in motion -- by Clinton's unmistakable design. That is how much Democrats love America -- enough to murder them in the sanctity of office buildings!
Bush won a second term, and maintained good offices overseas, removed eight tyrants from power in the Middle East, caused Libya to capitulate without firing a shot, and put Social Security back in the black despite Democrat games to make Republicans look bad.
Obama had his followers falsify millions of voter registrations, corrupt county auditors "conveniently" removed 3/4 of the ballots that went to Republican contender McCain, and Obama just might be the first President deported back to his native Kenya -- after his execution for treason.
