1. Is that a typo in frame 4?

Did the writer actually mean "literal" thought police instead of "liberal?" It seems to change the meaning.

3. "Literal" is correct.

"Liberal" would be nonsensical.

2. This always fascinates me.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Without exception, the RW is about distorting/suppressing factual information, restricting education/research, and corralling independent thinkers into dogmatic parameters far away from heretical "others," -- all under cover of "individual freedom." What's more, they seem to suffer no cognitive dissonance at all from doing so.

I find that absolutely mesmerizing in an awful kind of way.
