From the White House Web site:

 

"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 e-mails 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 e-mail or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to [email protected]."

 

On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said,

 

"Well, I would hate to see what they're going to get now at [email protected]. I wonder what kind of e-mails they're going to get now. They're looking for tattletales; they're looking for snitches; they're looking for informants; they want their groupies to tattle on you if you happen to be telling the truth about what's in the health care plan.The White House has, as yet, offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips on policy opposition they hope to receive from citizen informers. Jake Tapper pointed out on Twitter this morning, the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams' 1770 'Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials.'"

 

 

Over at RedState, Jeff Emanuel wrote,

 

"The term 'disinformation' is used by the Obama White House as a catchall to describe any opposition to the president's push for single-payer, government-run health care -- meaning the White House wants to be informed of any forwarded e-mails or blog posts
or any "casual conversations"
that could be taken as opposition to their health care overhaul plan."

 

And TheNextRight's Jon Henke asks: "What, exactly, does the White House plan to do with this information?"

 

The complaints came on the same day that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi charged that demonstrations against health care reform during congressional town hall meetings are organized by the insurance industry and conservative groups.

 

White House officials are anxious to aggressively rebut what they see as disinformation. At the same time, they should be cognizant that the use of governmental resources to do so risks making them look heavy-handed or even Nixon-esque (will this lead to an enemies list?)

 

One wonders how many of my posts have already been e-mailed to the good folks at whitehouse.gov. Perhaps we can add an app for that at the bottom of my posts? "Click here to inform on Matt Lewis . . ."

We keep being told by liberals that they are in no way socialistic in nature. This just proves they are lying to the American people. What was it that Hitler said, something to the effect of, "Tell the masses a lie once, they may or may not believe you. Tell them the same lie thousands of times and they WILL believe you." Osama and his cohorts are spreading the same lies over and over and over and ................... until the masses start believing them. I, for one, am not a sheep, and will not believe a single word that comes out of these liberals mouths. Call me a low-level terrorist, if you will, but I WILL NOT believe anything this administration tells me. Never have, never will. I am also willing to FIGHT to preserve our rights. I just hope the rest of us like-minded individuals will do the same. :thumbsup:

It sounds Marxist to me, all of these are quotes from Marx, but could have come from the orifice of BHO :

 

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

 

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

 

Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.

 

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

 

The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

 

I completely agree with this statement from a poster from another site that I go to :

 

I whole-heartedly support dissent, It's an important part of our checks & balance. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" --Thomas Jefferson. I too was filled with hope, but now recognise this presidency as very dangerous for America. I'm not a paranoid person, but I read extensively. I am now conviced of his socialistic views, and in his own words (read his books), Marxist views. It is reality and it is scary. In retrospect, he did tell us clearly in his campaign, but we either interpreted it differently or ignored the warning signs. Indeed, Lincoln was right when he said, "If danger ever threatens the United States, it will come from within". I urge my fellow countryman to write their congressman and demand a halt to this insane spending and socialist policies. Remember, "To each according to their needs, From each according to their ability to give" --Karl Marx

 

Back to my own words on this topic: There is nothing that BHO is doing that makes me proud to be an American. I am very distressed with the voters of America, and how they don't pay attention to the rhetoric of politicians. If people feel as though they were blindsided by BHO, they only heard what they wanted to hear. They either had no understanding of what America was built upon, and the success that we have had to be the Greatest Country in the world. I can not compare us to Nazi Germany, but instead to Communism. It has infiltrated our government, that my father, uncles, cousins, and brothers have fought so hard to prevent. To allow their legacy to be for naught, is spitting on The Greatest Generation America has ever known.

The injustice department will soon be serving the same function as the gestapo......the democratic party in America is the closest thing to the evils of the NAZI party to come on the earth SINCE hitler.........People in the 1940's vowed to never allow it to happen again, yet they are now members of the very party which is working on allowing it......

Thanks, Dave. In my daily respose back to the WH's e-mail site, I'll use this phrase:

 

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" --Thomas Jefferson.

 

I liked the post, but it didn't sound right to me. I did some research, and I had to go to the source. This is where that quandry came in.

 

"Political dissension is doubtless a less evil than the lethargy of despotism: but still it is a great evil, and it would be as worthy the efforts of the patriot as of the philosopher, to exclude it's influence if possible, from social life. The good are rare enough at best. There is no reason to subdivide them by artificial lines. But whether we shall ever be able so far to perfect the principles of society as that political opinions shall, in it's intercourse, be as inoffensive as those of philosophy, mechanics, or any other, may well be doubted." TJ to Thomas Pinckney, 29 May 1797

 

With that being said, I would not use that in a response to the White House. I simply liked what the individual wrote in response to how our government is going.

"Obama has called for a complete halt to what he refers to as settlement activity, meaning Jewish construction in eastern Jewish or the West Bank."

 

Wait a minute. This is a president who has told every other foreign country that we've been too much into your business, and we've been rash, and brash... explain to me what the heck his statement above means.

 

He needs to keep his pie-hole in his own business and not in foreign affairs, except what we are slap in the middle of, and quit meddling in Israel's affairs... or else he may sound like a Moslem... oops!

I would use the one about the tree of liberty from time to time needing to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants......Thomas Jefferson had a lot of great quotes......

Uh-huh, until they make me the first one...that'd super you know whatie...

 

I like what's in the Declaration of Independence. and Colmes, don't kill me now... but I swear to you, until I watched National Treasure, I swear, it never hit me like that before...

 

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

 

I swear that makes me want to stand up, place my hand over my heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag...

Makes me want to actually go out and live up to it.......our founding fathers would be rolling in their graves if they knew just 1/10 of what we ALLOW our elected, representative government to get away with........

My personal take on it: Someone will always be offended no matter how hard you try to be inoffensive..... :coolio:

I spend some time at this website : http://www.monticello.org/library/reference/spurious.html . I like Thomas Jefferson, and I think he's been glossed over by some. I understood what he was saying. I am seeing many changes in the dictionary, that I don't agree with, as JV_Coach pointed out in a different thread.

 

I think that both BluePirate and I recieved a good edumacation ('70s slang) at Pine Stump. Perhaps some of the curriculum was outdated, but ...I'd say we both turned out all right. :thumbsup:
