The British author George Orwells prescient novel 1984 has increased in popularity since the recent revelation of massive spying on Americans private communications. Orwell is also credited with the sentiment popularized in the quote, People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Orwell said words to that effect in 1942, back when clear-thinking people had no illusions about how to deal with enemies bent on their destruction. Since then, things have changed, however. Today, the Obama administration apparently would have Americans believe that we rest well at night not because of Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Marines, and the worlds most powerful Navy and Air Force, but because Team Obama stands ready to Tweet wrongdoers into submission.
