OBAMA ASKS AMERICANS TO SPY ON EACH OTHER

The Obama Administration is trying to save its unpopular health care reform bill through what can only be described as "Soviet style" tactics. Indeed, the White House blog has asked American's to inform, the administration about any dissenting persons, or information.

"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."

Without jumping into a debate on the merits of the health care proposal, or indeed just what the administration is after here, we simply want to pose a question to anyone listening.

Are you comfortable knowing that our President and his advisers, want to know your name, your email address, your website, (and who knows what else) based on what you personally believe and may say in "casual conversation"?

The citizens of Stalin's Russia, were terrified to reveal much about themselves, knowing even their neighbor may "flag" them to the authorities...usually for their own protection.

We may not be living under such communist rule, but just what the hell is this, and who the hell do they think they are in the White House?

Just some simple questions if anyone cares to think about them. For instance, just how appropriate is... ?????

The man who has made up his mind to win will never say "impossible".
