Happened in both. The high up Party members could turn off their monitors for a few minutes at a time. If Winston Smith did it, he'd have been dragged off.
And remember, some of the most radical social conservatives advanced this absurd notion that 9/11 happened because America is too tolerant of homosexuality. Just the other day I stopped in at my insurance agent's office and heard Limbaugh on their radio, ranting about the possibility that Trayvon Martin might have been gay and tried to sexually assault Zimmerman.
This is why I have trouble taking any Conservative/Tea Party/Republican seriously on just about any topic. Social conservatism mixed with Christianity any makes them look so retarded that the rest of their messages (some/most of which might actually be a good idea) get lost. I'm an atheist so anything that mixes religion and government immediately turns me away. I swear Romney might have actually won if the Republicans stopped talking about social conservatism. Ignore topics on abortion, on contraception, on rape, on homosexuality, on all the things social conservatives love to talk about and they might stand a better chance next time around.
Here in my part of Canada we have the Progressive Conservative Party (as well as they more traditional Conservative party), which sounds like an oxymoron. They shy away from the more traditional social conservatism and only really talk about the fiscal conservationism. They might actually have a message I can listen too without wanting to take their bible and shoving it where the sun doesn't shine.
You mean the US government is actually trying (via stealth) to pay off it's national debt? They don't seem to be doing a good job of that as they love starting unpaid for wars, bailing out the 1% etc.
This is the result of trickle down economics and other such ridiculous ideas. Building a strong 1% only builds a strong 1%. Building a strong middle and working class creates demand, which builds a strong economy.

Which is why I use Adblock Plus and Flashbock. There are ads on Facebook?
