“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Obama wants you......to be a snitch!

Perhaps you've heard this story already but in case you haven't, on the administration's health-care website, they have an unusual request...

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.

Obama wants you to sniff around your place of employment, neighborhood, gym, or coffee shop for anybody who's saying derisive or unflattering things about his preposterous health-care take-over, and rat them out to the government. Remember the last time a government had citizens snitching on other citizens for thought and speech crimes.....that's right, Nazi Germany for crying out loud!!!

Since when in America does the federal government keep tabs on regular citizens for speaking in a dissenting manner about government policy? I realize this administration has thrown out the 10th amendment entirely, and the 2nd amendment and parts of the 5th are under attack but, the free-speech part of the 1st amendment applies specifically to political speech. No government has a right to keep tabs on law-abiding citizens solely based on speech unless it is threatening or advocating violence in some manner.

UPDATE: So here's something fun to do. It's absolutely harmless but cathartic in a way too. See up there where it says to notify them if you come across something that seems fishy? Well, start sending the white house links to actual fish. Go to Wikipedia or some other googled site for fish and send the link to flag@whitehouse.gov. Look at it as your little way of poking Rahm Emanual in the eye with a sharp stick.

We could just send them back links to the bills as they swim through congress, along with ALL of Barry's You Tube videos where it is *HIM* spreading disinformation and lies....

The only bad info I see and/or hear is coming out of HIS mouth.
