OK...just remember that the America you fought for is long gone.

"State authority must provide for peace and order, and peace and order 
in turn must conversely make possible the existence of state authority. 
Within these two poles all life must now revolve...Ideas of 'freedom,' 
mostly of a misunderstood nature, inject themselves into the state 
conceptions of these circles." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.

Berlin, Monday, Aug. 20, 1934 -- Eighty-nine and nine-tenths percent of 
the German voters endorsed in yesterday's plebiscite Chancellor 
Hitler's assumption of greater power than has ever been possessed by 
any other ruler in modern times. Nearly 10 per cent indicated their 
disapproval. The result was expected.

"Hate Week is officially celebrated from April 4th to April 10th. The 
events during that time include waxwork displays, military parades, 
speeches and lectures. New slogans are also coined and new songs are 
written. The theme of the Hate Week is called the Hate Song. It is 
mentioned that a unit from the Fiction Department was assigned to make 
atrocity pamphlets (falsified reports of atrocities committed by 
Oceania's enemies against her) designed to stimulate Oceania's populace 
further into enraged frenzy against all enemies. The aggregate effect 
of Hate Week thus is to excite the populace to such a point that they 
"would unquestionably have torn to pieces" if given the opportunity."
