Great edits to [[1984]]. We've had debates on this site about whether [[George Orwell]] became a [[conservative]] as he grew older. Most great novels are written when the author is young; [[1984]] is the opposite. See [[Mystery:Did George Orwell Become a Conservative?]].--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 16:43, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

George Orwell's conservatism is not a "mystery." 1984 practically screamed about the liberal threat that Orwell saw in his country, and he was known to be a social conservative all his life. Liberals just kind of assume that every great writer is a liberal like them, since apparently all great writers need a PhD in english composition and three years on the editorial board of the New Yorker in order to be able to write a good book.
