“[A]n environment where hateful beliefs are never ignored and suspicious behavior never goes unreported. . . . There can be no family too close and no friend too dear for hatred to go unchecked”

[W]e, as a society, can do a much better job of creating an environment where hateful beliefs are never ignored and suspicious behavior never goes unreported. . . . There can be no family too close and no friend too dear for hatred to go unchecked.

State-run media under the thumb of which repressive regime came out with the above Big Brotherism?

(a) the Ahmadinejad presidency
(b) the Chinese Politburo
(c) the Obama administration

And if you answered (c), you are…. correct, Sir! Charles Blow (apt name) in the New York Everloving Times.

No kidding. Additionally, check this out. The Southern Poverty Law Center has a feature where you can report on your neighbors for “hate” (“Stand strong against hate. Is there hate in your state?”). If you report on somebody they’ll put your name on a little interactive map. Maybe they’ll send you a little “I Turned My Next-Door Neighbor in for Crimethink and All I Got is This Lousy T-Shirt” gift. Better think twice about denying your kids a raise in their allowance… wouldn’t want them to turn you in…

Bye bye now, I’m just gonna go turn myself over to the Southern Poverty Law Center for having bad thoughts. I’ll catch youse guys later.

P.S. I’m totally reporting on my ex-boss.
