	Thoughtcrime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thought Police (thinkpol in Newspeak) was the secret police of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four whose job it was to uncover and punish thoughtcrime.
		The Thought Police used psychology and omnipresent surveillance to find and eliminate members of society who were capable of the mere thought of challenging ruling authority.
		Orwell's Thought Police and their pursuit of thoughtcrime was based on the methods used by the totalitarian states and competing ideologies of the 20th century.

		In spite this lengthy pedigree, or perhaps because she actually believes in her causes, Bruce is appalled by the tactics of the left and the new "thought police" who carry out the marching orders.
		The New Thought Police is a well thought out book by Tammy Bruce, former chairwomen of the LA chapter of NOW who is pro-gun, pro-choice, and lesbian.
		Both in that book and The Thought Police I was surprised again and again at her matter of fact discussions of how liberalism is changing how we think about ourselves, our children and our country.

		The accusation against Houellebecq includes "incitement to racial hatred," a claim guaranteed to attract to the cause all self-proclaimed defenders of "human rights."

		Now, some will counter that there is precedent for punishing thoughts because we already do so when distinguishing between certain categories of crime, but this is a fallacy.
		This is because even when thoughts were at issue, they did not cause more punishment to be rendered, but less.
		For, there are deeds, words and thoughts, and the ultimate goal of any fervent social-engineer is to gain control over the last of those.

		For those who persist in thinking for themselves, so-called Thought Criminals, Ingsoc's stormtroopers, the Thought Police, are there to intervene, incarcerating the free-thinkers in the Ministry of Love, where they will be re-educated, or worse.
		The most intrusive daily aspect of life in Oceania (as Orwell calls the European/American mega-State) are the omnipresent telescreens, two-way interactive televisions that cannot be turned off, and which give the government a faceless surveillance window into everyone's life.

		The distinction between speech, thought, and attitudes on the one hand, and action on the other, may seem simple and obvious.
		Such "harassment" codes, which are ubiquitous in industry and education, already endanger freedom by confusing words and actions, and by classifying offensive words as "harassment" when they "create a hostile environment" on the basis of race, gender, or ethnicity.
		The recognition that the First Amendment protects thoughts and attitudes — the mind and spirit as well as the tongue — is basic to understanding the core of liberty.

	Patriot: Minneapolis Thought Police - ReliableAnswers.com
		In what may be one of the most blatant acts of anti-Christian bigotry and discrimination by an American government agency to date, the Minneapolis Police Department has suspended a Police Psychologist, Dr. Michael Campion of Campion, Barrow and Associates, at the behest of pro-homosexual activists.
		The Minneapolis Police Department admits that because of Dr. Campion's Christian beliefs, and his former affiliation with IFI, he is now under suspension pending an investigation into his beliefs.
		The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that despite the fact that the Minneapolis Police Department admittedly gave Dr. Campion "'high marks' on 'general procedural goodness and specific cultural fairness' of his testing procedures;" he was nonetheless suspended soon after liberal city activists informed Police Chief Don Harris about his IFI affiliation.

	On the Run from the Thought Police
		My first thought towards answering this question was that I had better define the terms.
		A common sense answer is that the police have nothing to do with religion, yet they fit the definition in that they are very concerned with the resolution of conflicting human wants (especially when I want something that isn't mine).
		Police only deal with actions, excepting when they attempt to reason back to a motive for a crime, but at least with current technology it can't be determined what any person is thinking; therefore one can't get in trouble for it.

		Thus, at one moment Winston's hatred was not turned against Goldstein at all, but, on the contrary, against Big Brother, the Party, and the Thought Police; and at such moments his heart went out to the lonely, derided heretic on the screen, sole guardian of truth and sanity in a world of lies.
