"the term "Orwellian liberalism" is itself a great example of Orwellian doublespeak . . ."

Not necessarily. There is a form of conventionally knee-jerk liberalism in vogue these days which is just as reprehensible and hypocritical as its diametrical opposite...conventionally knee-jerk conservatism.

They are both based on extreme self-righteousness and extreme intolerance of dissenting views. They both imagine themselves to be the fountainhead of all that is good and decent. They both react rather than think. They react to push button slogans and cliches rather than looking deeper into the facts of each unique situation that may arise. They long for something to be outraged about. They both imagine that which they oppose to be utterly evil and that which they espouse to be utterly good.

They are therefore the mirror image of one another.

It is that form of unthinking neo-liberalism that Akenaton objects to, and it's just as common and pernicious as the recent neocon movement that is seen on the right.

They both yearn to silence all dissent and to dominate people's thinking. They are both essentially totalitarian in their basic instincts. Those who wish to establish such a totalitarian rule, of course, are not bothered at all about the peril of doing so, because they are convinced that they are the "Good" people, therefore the rule they establish could only improve things for all of us... ;-) Ha. Ha.

That's Orwellian.
