Interesting and spooky take on the unrest.

I get more and more freaked out and outraged by the schmuck that runs out of uhbama's blue lips everyday. Either he is out of control or not in control. Both bode horror for America.

I love our country. I love the men and women who have served our nation in our military branches. I love our system of laws and I feel one hundred percent BLESSED to have been born in this great, great experiment of democratic republic rule.

I will not go quietly into the night. I will not. Ever. Like all of you, there is a FUTURE to consider for those we love and it is up to us to provide for it....this is an insidious roll over from within, so there is no REQUIREMENT for joining the military or traveling overseas. This is a battle that is taking place right were we live, every city, town, berg, county and country road.

Get out your signs, get the dangers coming signs onto your car, STAND TALL and INFORM people every chance you get. SPEAK OUT. Even if you never have.

if someone keeps me from voting, they will do it once, and I will turn and leave. When I come back the second time, I will vote.

You're right! I myself have had more fun composing mischievous messages, at least ten times daily with my different e-mail accounts and only put in the subject line--since the initation of the enemies list.

I usually end my one-liner with a question like "Will the handcuffs hurt," "Will the FBI be here before I can pack a suitcase," "Is there a hanging in my future," "When may I expect a reply," "Love, Hillary"--well, you get the idea. AARP, ACLU, DNC, etc., etc., all have flag@whitehouse.gov plugged in as my return address, too.

The archives should tell the story of 2009, shouldn't they?

“The Reich Press Law of October 4, 1933 made journalism a ‘public vocation’. Section14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which in any manner is misleading to the public, mixes selfish aims with community aims, tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly, the common will of the German people, the defense of Germany, its culture and economy…or offends the honor and dignity of Germany‘”.

No one is telling our MSM to suck up to one side - they're doing it on their own. In spite of the fact that it's destroying their credibility... Think of it - it's voluntary...

Reminds me of Jim Morrison’s “We want the world and we want it ... now!”

Plenty of old hippies still around, inhabiting todays left.

I’d like to see every conservative possible send an e-mail to that “flag”address and overwhelm it with messages to the effect of: “I think your healthcare plan stinks! So come and get me, Mofo!”

” Obama wants to create violent resistance so he has an excuse to declare martial law, pound down conservatives, and get rid of the second amendment right to bear arms."

I fear this is his strategy as well. This communist POS better be very careful before deploying the U.S. military against its own citizens. It would definitely usher in the next American Civil War. Maybe we’re overdue for it anyway.

Pardon the expression but O’Bummer can polish this turd all he wants, but he ain’t gonna make it shine.

I can’t believe that sitting there and brainstorming this notion came up and no one said, “No, this is a bad idea. We shouldn’t go there.” It is so obviously hostile and incendiary that only a dolt - or a truly evil bunch - could institute it.

That blatant and utter stupidity should give everyone hope that all is not lost. :)

“Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, “

Means we’re trying, but the entire system isn’t up yet.

I sent the following, written by a Marine Vietnam Vet friend of mine. Anyone who wants may also copy and send this to Flag@whitehouse.gov...

The Whitehouse – through its website at whitehouse.gov has asked all of us to spy on one another and report back to them. The request is just below and followed by my first report of the sort of activity they seem concerned about. I sent this to them earlier today and also posted it on my blog at: http://www.blogger.com/home?pli=1&pli=1

Facts Are Stubborn Things
Posted by Macon Phillips
August 4, 2009

Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, “facts are stubborn things.”

Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to “uncover” the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.

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 .

The Whitehouse

6 Aug 2009

Dear Comrade Phillips

I report myself. I am an American citizen and I oppose Socialism. I criticize myself for not opposing it with more enthusiasm in the past.

Socialism is Evil in all its guises.

Socialism is Anti-Liberty.

Socialism is Anti-Individual Initiative.

Socialism is Anti-American.

Socialism has been the enemy of my country for all the years I have lived on this earth. (The Socialism of Nazi Germany, The Socialism of The Peoples Republic of China, The Socialism of the USSR, the Socialism we fought across Europe in that terrible struggle won through the sacrifices of “The Greatest Generation”, the Socialism fought against by the Forgotten Heroes of The Korean War and by the Rejected Warriors who fought in Vietnam.)

Socialism is not new to the American People. We know Socialism.

(Many of us have read Nietzsche and Marx!)

We know how it begins with the urge to “redistribute wealth” following the dictum “From each according to his ability – to each according to his need”.

We know how it progresses first to the Nationalization of “Vital Industry” under the pretense of “Creating” or “Preserving” jobs or the empty promise of dividing the profits with the workers who produced them; The Nationalization of Banks and the financial systems so that all monetary transactions may be controlled by Central Authority, the Nationalization of Health Care services so that the health and well being – the very lives of the citizens — will depend upon the good will of Government.

We have watched vibrant and thriving populations succumb to the poverty, disease and desolation that are the fruits of Socialism.

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

We have seen Socialism – we have seen the haunted landscapes of once-great cities – the ghostly smoke-stacks rising above the idle factories and empty warehouses – the darkened buildings towering over the sky-line that once represented a center of commerce and life!

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

We have seen Socialism! We have watched the lines form in the decaying streets – lines of people who despair of ever returning to the once productive life of former years. Lines where the hope is for a loaf of bread for the hungry children or a dose of medicine for a dying baby. Lines of once friendly people who look at each other with a measure of apprehension – “Who is the informant?”. Will this be the one to report me to Central Authority?

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

Americans are a generous people – we have spent much time, effort and money over the years sending relief to the wan-faced, swollen-bellied children of Socialism. Many of them died anyway while the so-called “Leaders” grew fat and self-satisfied behind the guarded gates of their luxurious compounds. The same leaders frequently steal from our generosity to add to their hoard. The few amass wealth and power while the masses suffer.

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

Now we watch (almost in unbelief!) as our own crop of would-be Oligarchs prance and preen upon the national stage of our once great country where they piously pretend to be the purveyors of prodigious wisdom which would be beyond the comprehension of the mere mortals who live and work in the “Fly-Over Country” of the heart-land. They behave as though they truly do not believe that we know what is good for us. We disagree.

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

We know Socialism – we know the insidious methods by which it seizes power and sucks the life-blood from a nation ad a people.

We know the double-speak:

“Poverty is Prosperity”

“We oppress you for your own benefit!”

“Making people equally poor will make them equally wealthy!”

We know – we know!

Yes, we know. I know.

Now you ask me to inform on the casual conversations of my friends, neighbors and family.

No.

You ask me to report the worried messages from heroes who fought valiantly for my country and are now concerned about the direction it seems to be taking.

No.

You quoted it yourself: “Facts are stubborn things!” and we do agree on that point. Facts are what they are and the facts of the history of experiments in socialism paint a very bleak picture of what it will do to those foolish enough to get involved in it.

No. I won’t report others but I report myself! I report that I abhor Socialism and recognize the fact that Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

I criticize myself for not speaking against it more vehemently in the past and I denounce the apathy that was at the root of that behavior!

I confess my shame! I am ashamed that I am at least partly culpable in the fiasco that has allowed my country to fall into the hands of those who would elevate Thieves, Liars, tax Cheats and Thugs of every stripe to High Office in this “Land of Liberty”!

I am ashamed that the missive you sent out should have ever appeared on the letterhead of The White House. You, yourself, should be ashamed!

This is an action more befitting a dictator in a banana republic somewhere than the leader of the free world who occupies the highest office in this “land of the free and home of the brave”.

Socialism is Evil in all its guises!

Shame on you!

Shame!

Shame!

Yours In Liberty

Your buddy sent a very nice letter to the Socialist-in-Chief. Hopefully he sees it personally.

And the ACLU has already come out with a statement declaring there is no cause for concerns over this! Unbelievable!
