"They perceive only what they can see, but not what is happening, and what will happen. That is why their carping criticisms generally focus on laughable trivialities. Whenever some unavoidable difficulty pops up, the kind of thing that always happens, they are immediately inclined to doubt everything and to throw the baby out with the bath water. To them difficulties are not there to be mastered, but rather to be surrendered to."
Could be today, right? Maybe a Democrat talking about a Republican perhaps? NO. it was Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda in 1939, seventy years ago.
Then on my way home in the car today I hear the White House is asking citizens to turn in anyone putting out "fishy" information about the Health care bill, or i guess anything else, and immediately thought of history repeating itself...
What do our representatives think?
"If you get an e-mail from your neighbor and it doesn't sound right, send it to the White House?"said Sen. John Barasso, R-Wyo. " People, I think all across America are going to say is this 1984? What is happening here? Is big brother watching?"
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, charged the White House with compiling an "enemies list."In a letter to the president, Cornyn urged Obama to provide Congress with more details on what the White House plans to do with anyone reported for "fishy"speech.
Here, read the thing for yourself...

The be a good citizen and turn in your friends and neighbors for spreading "fishy" information...
Honey wanted to send Obama his medals from VietNam and say he don't want them any more, the country he fought for is gone...I got him to hold off until we see how the next elections turn out....in 2010
Wish there were time to organize a march on Washington right after Congress gets back. I wish there were a way to make them recognize how many Democrats are on board.
ReplyDeleteHeck that ain't good enough . Obama could simply lie and say he won't use the list for anything . Bull-shiite man .The website/email address needs to be shutdown and at the very least a full apology from Obama. I'd call for his arrest or surrender but that ain't gonna happen. . . . . or will it if he continues ?
ReplyDeleteHe is increasingly close to Treason. In fact, I think with the sale of the B2 bomber to China, he may have just crossed the line!!
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope...look, if Clinton can get impeached over "Not having sex with that woman..." how hard would it be for a UNCONTROLLED (ie. not dominated by lefty Democrats) Congress to draft articles of impeachment for a laundry list of misdeeds, starting with abuse of power, creating a shadow government with his 42 Czars, etc, etc...
ReplyDeleteI believe the B2 story as much as i believe this one:
ReplyDelete"Current Secretary of Energy Steven Chu has been asked to leave the Obama Administration due to his own ethical scandal. Chu was involved in a $500 million dollar project named the Energy Biosciences Institute, funded by British Petroleum. Additional information emerged about Chu's relationships with other energy giants causing President Obama to ask Chu to step down by August 7.
The Washington Times has received word from a Palin spokesperson that her abrupt resignation is directly related to the soon-to-be-open Cabinet position. In addition, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is set to release a statement welcoming Palin into the Obama Administration.
Analysts believe that Obama is attempting to reconcile political foes in order to build a more stable presidency, as seen with former rival Hillary Clinton. By placing Palin in the Cabinet, both Palin and Obama could claim bipartisan credentials."
Yeah, that could happen...yeah, right...
Well the Washington Times reported it.......since that is a lib paper, I'm gonna think there is some truth to it. The other story I assume you checked it before you put it out even as a hypothetical. Right?
ReplyDeleteI can understand and relate to this...and I feel that Honey is not alone, there are others who share his sentiment. This country is NOT what it once was.
ReplyDeleteThe B2 and Palin stories are both SATIRE, from a blog at http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/search/label/satire
ReplyDeleteNot what I heard from an Air Force person I know. But we'll go with your take on it.....
ReplyDeleteActually Chief Taz, did research with his military contacts. It is a true story. I think with the way you handled that.....you've seen the last of me here.
