In case you missed it, the White House is calling on citizens to report Americans who are critical of Dear Leader’s plans to take over the health care industry. Senator John Cornyn isn’t happy about it and expressed his displeasure to Dear Leader. Or should we call him Big Brother?
A leading Republican US Senator on Wednesday sharply assailed a White House request for supporters to help track “fishy” claims about President Barack Obama’s plans to overhaul US health care.
”I am not aware of any precedent for a president asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ?fishy? or otherwise inimical to the White House?s political interests,” John Cornyn of Texas wrote US President Barack Obama.
“As Congress debates health care reform and other critical policy matters, citizen engagement must not be chilled by fear of government monitoring the exercise of free speech rights,” he wrote.
Good for Senator Cornyn. I hope he makes a big deal about this. My only question is: Will the main stream media report attempts by the White House to chill citizen engagement by fear of government monitoring?
We certainly call him “Big Brother.” This is absurd.

I already sent an email turning myself in for disagreeing with the health care bill. Please visit me in the internment camp sometime.

Uncle Barack Wants You! ….. To Be a Rat Fink! …..
If I were a Russian immigrant to this country, shivers would be running down my spine about now. But I’m not from Russia. As an American, that grew up knowing only freedom, it’s hard to wrap my brain around this latest and very Progressive idea. Uncle Barack like Uncle Joe, Uncle Fidel and Uncle Hugo lust for control and he has learned their lessons well. Bring the hammer down, pit one neighbor against another, preserve the Party line at all costs. If this were a sports analogy one would notice that the Obama administration is not trying to defeat their opponents with the “superiority” of their ideas but seek victory by silencing their adversaries and from keeping them from even walking onto the field. A victory by “forced forfeit” is still a victory. And one to be proud of! One would be tempted to call this KGB like Obama tactic “neo fascist”, but that would imply that he was a new convert to this way of thinking. These seeds have been festering for many years in Obama, his mentors, his associates and in what would probably be a majority of his Cabinet. (especially the “czars”). As Americans, we can appreciate new ideas put forth by our elected leaders. But these leaders must realize that ultimately they are in D.C. to “represent” us,the people. In other words, do as “we” say, represent our way of thinking, not the other way round. Being from the “Chicago Machine” a place rich in anti “rat fink” sentiment, this break from tradition seems a little odd. But with Obama “political expediency” will always win out. To paraphrase, “my lies won’t work if the truth gets out”. “Please help me, be a snitch, a rat fink”. “As a citizen, being a tattletale is your highest calling”. Da, Uncle Barack, da!

“Report fellow citizens”? Do you make this stuff up together or is one of you in charge of lying?
“Dear Leader”?? From the people who had no problem with Bush and Co. listening in on private phone calls of private citizens who had no ties to terrorist or terrorism?

As I recall… there was quite an outcry about Bush’s wiretapping adventures. We didn’t like it then. We do not like it now.
It seems that money is putting these people into office, not votes.
Stop pointing fingers at other people. The issue here is that this statement from the white house – which is REAL – asks us to report “fishy” email so they can “keep track of it” and “dispel the rumors”.
There is an outcry for a reason. This chips away further at our freedoms. Bush was a rich oilman. Barack supposedly taught constitutional law at college. Therefore it can be assumed that he completely understands that this statement goes against our basic constitutional rights.
