I keep seeing some liberals on here bring it up, so I'm wondering how many conservatives on here have read it.
And yes, I have read it. Many times. Actually, it's my favorite book.
Some people on here are trying to say that the Republican party and/or the Bush administration is trying to mirror Ingsoc and the Inner Party. I don't see it, but that's really got nothing to do with the question.
I'm just curious.

Hey, I just said I like the book. I don't think it mirrors the current government at all, and it's my opinion that it's a stupid claim.
Lucky2BAlive should know my views by now!

Perhaps I should add, how many have read it RECENTLY, without being required to read it?

Funny, from I remember it was a warning against unchecked SOCIALIST government.

First Pat Buchanan isn't a Neo-Con. Neo-Cons are former Liberals that are chuffed having the gov't restore issues and rework way of existence. Liberals who see that the transformations in direction of Prgressive society went too some distance and say Conservatives are sorta ideal are Neo-Cons (New Conservative). Pat Buchanan began as a Conservative like the 1964 Barry Goldwater and William F Buckley Jr. in the late 1980's Pat went over to the bathing room Birch, anti-semetic , severe of the Conservative stream. In 2000's Pat is a suitable-wing Populist. he isn't any Con, Paleo-Con, or Neo-Con. he's a Populist. He has authority between Conservatives, or particular perception into Neo-Con wondering. Secondly your resources are all a similar author in simple terms reprinted in differnt arenas. Corsi is a nut-job. Corsi is in direction of the Conspiracy-monger Alex Jones than Rush Limbaugh. Corsi isn't an insider spilling the beans on the position Neo-Cons are headed. he's promoting Conspiracy.

I've read it two or three times. I've also read Animal Farm a couple of times. They're both interesting books - I just wish they were better written. When I want to be hit over the head with a MESSAGE, I'll watch West Wing.

I used to consider myself conservative... (prior to the W coup d'etat). Anyway, I read 1984 and it is about "big brother" (the government) watching everything we do and controlling everything. It was very far fetched idea. Nowadays I'm not so sure it was far fectched. There are so many things we should be doing to fight terrorism that we are not doing. This country is for the filthy rich. The rest of us are peasants that serve them. Not the American dream I grew up knowing. Our nation has become top heavy and we're setup to fall hard in the next few years.
