Book Description

Has the New American Century started without you? Get with it! It's time for everyone to get in line and join in the new unity and spirit of uni-partisanship-or else! The first step in knowing what's expected of you is to understand the language of ditto-headedness, neo-conformism, neo-speak and good old ass kissing of the properly imposed authorities. You might as well join up because if you don't, you're against it and that makes you a terrorist. The smart thing to do is to go meekly with the flow, for the meek shall inherit the earth! That's right-it's time to forget everything you thought you knew and submit to the current rewrite of history, the new logic and the proper way to think. Do as you're told and everything you do will glorify the New American Century and the heroic, fearless leaders who shall guide us through endless war for peace, evermore prosperity for the rich and a righteous submission of state to Church!
