Something Fishy

The Obama administration has made a terrible mistake.

On Tuesday, August 4, the White House posted a blog entry enjoining Americans to spy on one another, and to report any "disinformation" which might undermine the administration's health-care reform:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there. 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."

How can an American president think to embrace such open Orwellian thuggishness? The answer is a noxious combination of (1) liberal moral obtuseness, and (2) the naked lust for power which has characterized the political left since Robespierre. (The political designation sinistra in fact originates with the French Revolution: Jacobins sat to the left of president's chair in the Third Estate.)

For liberals, the morally correct stance on every issue is by definition the liberal one. It is a moral imperative that everyone have health insurance, consequences be damned. To cite possible negative repercussions of liberal policies is to reveal yourself to be ethically and intellectually degenerate. Just look at what liberal pundits and politicians are saying about anti-Obamacare protesters: Paul Krugman vilifies them as racists; to Nancy Pelosi, they are literally Nazis.

Obama’s biggest problem is that he’s letting partisan political operatives run the White House.

Imagine if every liberal blogger in the country was allowed to write for the White House and release their diatribes as official communications?

If Obama was smart (Smartest President Ever, remember?), he would reign in these far lefties communicating for him and running it all through a PC-filter.

Problem is, this Idiot In Chief is so arrogant, he doesn’t give a rip about his image. He’s the Messiah.

Gag me!

Obama simply realizes that the number of moocher-voters now exceeds the number or producer-voters. He's probably even smart enough to realize that this is unsustainable, and is preparing for other, much harsher realities.

In fact, maybe it's not Obama who is the "idiot", but an American population that chose to sleep through an attack that dwarfed Pearl Harbor (9/11)(?)

So offers of free stuff are turning producers into moochers? I don’t WANT his damn Cash for Clunkers or health care or Cap and Tax... I want to be left alone to work hard, get educated, have a family, hunt when I can, collect my guns and my Bibles and generally NOT get ANY help from the FedGuv.

As a matter of fact, I believe 90% of the garbage coming out of DC these days is illegal/unConstitutional.

So, you'll be in the minority. Don't worry, you'll be in great company! (me)

I’m not a fool, though. I’m not going to bust my hump into my late years while slouches like my younger brother suckle on the government teat.
