"one's homeland"

Cause it ain't there. You've got to look elsewhere. Paul N. made the
"narrative" argument. Dave Monroe made the "irony" argument. Doug makes
the "it's part of the 9-11 discourse and you guys just like to pick on
Pynchon and/or are afraid that His politics are just what I have been
saying they are" argument, and the "both/and" argument, but the fact is,
"two plus two make four."  In other words, those that are trying to
convince us that Pynchon calls the Bush administration fascistic in his
_1984_ Foreword  are employing exactly the kind of "duckspeak"  that
Orwell satirizes. 

You can't find it cause it ain't there. 

If it were there in plain words they wouldn't need all those  elaborate
critical tools to pry it out of a Foreword to a novel. It ain't there.
