Billmon: "Courtesy of the Washington Post (the Orwellian well that never runs dry):
Democracy activists who had long sought [Thai Prime Minister] Thaksin's ouster embraced the military's action.
How, exactly, can those who support a military coup be described as 'democracy activists'?
Orwell said the word fascism had become nothing more than a generic term for 'something not desirable.' Likewise, it appears that democracy has degenerated into a synonym for 'a government we support.'"
