Just Trying To Do My Part




According to Fox News, "The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information [regarding the healthcare "reform" debate] received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, 'flag@whitehouse.gov'."



Well, I think it's a good idea! Forget Fox News! I wanted to do my part to pass on the names of web sites that contain suspicious and misleading information, so I sent the following email:

Comrades,

Please focus some of your attention on the following web sites and persons of interest who are passing along information that is both false, and damaging to the President and his goal of Socialized Medicine.



http://www.democrats.org/ is a fairly pernicious site because although it looks semi-official, it is full of misleading statements concerning the public option and those who are against it.

http://www.dailykos.com/ - the people here are not only spreading lies about the healthcare debate and those opposed to socialized medicine, they also are very angry and have no sense of humor at all. Dishonest and hateful? Not a good combo. Perhaps they need to be watched a little more closely. If Janet Napolitano is right, this outfit must be made up of a bunch of angry white veterans.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ - these guys were a little better. I believe the indignation described by David A. Harris over President Obama being compared to Adolf Hitler was justified: those two look NOTHING alike. However, I think that it is disingenuous and even racist to make comparisons like this based on looks. The fact that Obama is a dyed in the wool socialist (Nazi IS an abbreviated form of National Socialist German Workers' Party after all) lends a lot of weight to a comparison based on political ideology. And couldn't you say that Hitler started off as a community organizer?

And I would be remiss if I forgot to pass along a most troubling site; http://www.moveon.org/. But I probably shouldn't say anything disparaging about your most influential investor.

Robert Gibbs is the face of a propaganda machine that spews misinformation on a daily basis. You might want to give him a once-over.

Yes, something is definitely fishy over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Kind of makes you think that Mrs. Paul is the First Lady, and not the lovely Michelle Obama.

  1. i dont think i'm educated enough (politics wise) to completely understand this blog, but the parts i was "informed" about i agreed. My view is from what most would call "religious" point of view, but i have a feeling the founding fathers a rolling over in their graves and Jesus is sick at his tummy.

  2. I ran across your blog today. Looks like we have another Limbaugh disciple on the internet. Lots of jabs, insults, ridicule, humor...nothing of substance. Spend all of your time attacking "liberals", offer nothing of intelligence. Cherry pick facts to support your cause. This is going to be entertaining!

    P.S. I'm not a "liberal". I'm just a guy who enjoys intelligent, open-minded discussions.

  3. Wellcome! And by all means, when you have something intelligent to say - please do.

    BTW, I think if you'll read on you'll find more here than just a few cherries.

  4. Interesting that you would liken Obama with the Nazis. Consider the following:

    Under the Bush/Cheney regime, the government actually considered forcing every American into carrying a federal ID card. Papers please?

    Under the Bush/Cheney regime, secret CIA prisons were set up all over the world. Suspected terrorists were held indefinitely without due process. Sounds okay when talking about the scary terrorists, but one day you may unknowingly have a conversation with a suspected scary terrorist, or accidentally click on the wrong website, and guess what...bye-bye fifth and sixth amendments, hello Gestapo.

    Under the Patriot Act, more of our American rights were flushed down the john than had ever been done in a single piece of legislation before it, including the ability of the government to perform illegal searches and seizures, set up illegal wiretaps, hold "suspected terrorists" without due process, keep tabs on your every movement...hello 1984.

    In 2002, Dick Cheney and David Addington urged that U.S. military troops be used to arrest and detain American citizens, inside the U.S., who were suspected of involvement with Al Qaeda.

    Scary stuff.

  5. And let us not forget the unsettling name given by Bush and his henchmen to our new Gestapo...er, security department: Homeland Security. Homeland?? Isn't that what Hitler and the Nazis called Germany?

    Check this out. I have no idea who this guy is, and I don't normally pay attention to conspiracy theory, but this is worth watching. Perhaps something to consider and investigate further...

  6. Hanso... This is not a site set up to defend the policies of George Bush. The topics here are more relative to the present.

    There is a big difference between Bush/Cheney and Obama/"name the socialist."
    For starters, Bush and Cheney are honorable men. Most people don't agree with everything that the Bush administration did, but I don't think anyone (besides the cooks like the conspiracy nut you referenced) questions his motivations.
    Obama, on the other hand, isn't trustworthy. He has a major credibility problem for a few reasons.
    1.) He's a liar. He's been caught lying on too many occasions.
    2.) He's a rabble rouser; not only was he a commune organizer, he was an attorney to fraudulent groups like ACORN.
    3.) He's inexperienced! He's the most inexperienced person to be elected to the presidency in recent memory... certainly in wel over 100 years, AND IT SHOWS! His administration is bumbling around like a bull in a china shop.
    4.) He associations with people of questionable moral and ethical charactor. You know the names.
    5.) Obama is motivated, not by American ideals, but by political expediency, pure and simple. He can't even answer simple questions without trying to "nuance" his way out of direct responses, such as his "paygrade" answer.

    We'll have to wait and see how histroy judges the presidency of George Bush - I think it will be better than most people are willing to admit. But for now, my focus will remain on the blunders of the current administration. Now that those morons have dropped the public option due to the backlash of the every day American citizen, I'm filled with the audacity of hope!

  7. i would be honored if i was told i was a Limbaugh disciple. He is a very generous and upstanding man. Political views aside, he is a man others should hope to be like. He is very giving and kind and very humble. He is one of a very small list of people that i would like to meet.
