To the Whitehouse and President Barack Hussein Obama,
Re: August 4, 2009 Whitehouse Statement assaulting free speech and dissent.
Your statement on the Whitehouse web site today, August 4th, 2009 (fifth paragraph), is a direct affront to every American. It is a vile assault on the God-given right of every free American to speak his mind and to petition his government for redress. It is an abomination in the sight of God from which all life and freedom comes.
To quote you directly:
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov"
By this statement, you stand in direct and incontrovertible violation of your oath of office. This call for informants to report upon those who disagree with your plans is reminiscent of the police state tactics employed by some of the worst tyrannies the world has seen. It is reminiscent of the tyrannies that my father and those before him fought to destroy.
Therefore, I demand that this statement be retracted and further demand that you stand up and honor the oath you took upon entering Government service. Here it is again as a reminder:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. So help me God.
This is the oath that you swore upon taking office. This is the oath that my father before me swore and that I have sworn as well. That oath stands in stark contrast to the sickening statement on the Whitehouse page. You cannot have it both ways. Either you will retract that statement and apologize to all Americans, or you will reveal yourself and those behind you as oath breakers, breaking faith with the Constitution to which you swore to defend and bear true faith and allegiance. Your continued failure to honor your oath of office will only confirm what so many of us already know: that you and those who support you are in fact America’s domestic enemies.
I hereby serve notice to you that I, Ward Dorrity, stand in total opposition to you and your agenda; that the values I hold and the principles that guide me are in direct opposition to the destruction of our once great republican democracy. Murder of the unborn, treason and socialism are NOT family values. They are not MY values. They are crimes against God, Man, nature, justice and reason.
The Health Care reform plan is simply another one of those crimes. The Democratic House Plan is a monstrosity that will seriously erode overall health care in this nation; it will crush free enterprise in the health care industry, and thereby contribute to your destruction of the free market. I categorically reject any government plan - especially Cap and Trade - that threatens the American economy with destruction.
I am not afraid to stand up to this assault on our fundamental and God-given liberties. I will express these sentiments to all who will listen, and I will resist by every art, with every means and with all the skill that I possess those who would attempt to silence me.
It is my right by birth and by heritage; and by virtue of my citizenship in these United States.
It is my duty by virtue of the sacrifice of my father and all of those who have given their lives for love of God and country and liberty
I proudly announce my dissent, and stand forth as one who is speaking out against these plans to all I know and can reach, and as one who intends to continue to speak out against them irrespective of your wholly Un-American pronouncements to the contrary, so help me God.
I call on all loyal, faithful, patriotic, and God fearing Americans to stand against not only these bills, but against this new, dangerous tack taken by this administration. .
Sincerely,
Ward Dorrity
Spirit Lake, Idaho
With Jeff Head’s kind permission, I’ve borrowed from the structure of his excellent response to those communist bastards in the White House to publish my own.
I totally agree with your letter. It is an honor to call you a fellow American!!
BTTT !!
Ward,
Proud to serve in a foxhole with you anytime!
I'll let you know what the response, if any, is.
Your tagline list is a real “hoot”!
“Iron John Kidd”
I’d like to get a copy of that request, if I may...
We’re on the verge, my friend.
I’ll scan it and email it to you over the weekend.
Please do. There’s no copyright on common sense.
One time when I posted a favorite 'toon, I received a reply to my post.
The reply contained nothing except the following:
I laughed so hard!! I "borrowed" THAT ONE TOO!! Feel free to help yourself to it if you like it.
Besides, even if you don't "borrow it", consider it a well deserved BTTT for your EXCELLENT THREAD!!!
Props to Jeff Head - his letter was the basis for mine. Time t omove it all up to DEFCON 1
Here's my companion letter to the same people who are hell bent on robbing us of our liberty and all our forefathers fought and bled for:
MY LETTER TO PRES. OBAMA AND THE WHITEHOUSE REGARDING FREE SPEECH
Also, everyone please take a look at noumenon's declaration for his own services in business. It is a model of forthrightness and diorectness, and a stand on principle we should all immulate:
Starlance - Announcement to the Public
We have abject evil amongst us. It has been festering for decades and is now rapidly advancing. The American people are seeing through it on this health care plan and are angry...and tired of being the patsy for all of these marxistic, socailistic, destructive, initiative robbing, liberty destroying, un- American, and unconstituional actions of the DNC, Dems, left, MSM, and RINOs.
Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.
The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.
FYI...please read and pass on Noumenon’s letter.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping!
To quote my own self, from my eternally-running documentation here:
-America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...--
"Whether he'll flame out in the crush of day to day governing details, or be another Mussolini dragging his country into a burning Apocalypse is anyone's guess at this point in time, but you had better start paying attention, if you hadn't already."
Well, I think the Presidentially-approved Union Goonery we are seeing pretty well means the Smiley Face has slipped, and we're seeing the skull beneath...
