Un-American???

Nepolitano and DHS put out alert to Law Enforcement on military right wing extremists, gun owners and people flying certain ‘flags’ and bumper stickers.

From the White House blog

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 [email protected].

Pelosi (and Steny Hoyer, who co-wrote a USA Today column making this claim) stated, “Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.”

And the above the fold headline from USA Today in today’s issue-


By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
Federal authorities have launched an effort to detect lone attackers who may be contemplating politically charged assaults similar to the recent murders of a Kansas abortion doctor and a Holocaust museum security guard.
The effort, known as the “Lone Wolf Initiative,” was started shortly after President Obama’s inauguration, in part because of a rising level of hate speech and surging gun sales.


Diametrically opposite of the rhetoric before the Dems got in power- Then “political dissent” was ‘patriotic’!


Now I’m just a dumb ol’ country boy, but I DID read not only the Cap and Trade, but also the Health Care Reform bills (hey, all those hours on airplanes are good for “something”). I will be the first one to admit I didn’t understand much of it, but I can read and it was notable the number of what I’ll call “paybacks” in both bills to union and special interest groups for their support.


I also saw a whole bunch of what I can weasel wording, leaving room to drive your average tractor trailer rig through the holes possible in interpretation!!!


I also read other than US papers, and know people in a number of countries that have socialized medicine (Canada, GBR, and Germany to name a few) NONE of the people I know are happy with the “care” they or their families receive under those plans. In GBR, in fact they have calculated the young and old are worth about $45,000 a year in care, and that’s it… Long lines, long waits (up to 10-12 weeks) to see a doctor, limited capabilities in hospitals (not every hospital has CAT scan/MRI), lack of specialists.


Also, the “numbers” being spouted by the Administration are being called into question on just about every aspect; and the White House is directly targeting any media that disagrees with it…


Also, I find it interesting that we, the bitter clinging gun owners and veterans are rather blatantly being targeted as extremists because we don’t hew to the left wing mantras and agenda.


We all have heard the calls for increasing limitations on gun purchases, adding the “no Fly” list to the NICS data base, adding the “mental health” data base to the NICS data base (coincidently putting many veterans who have stress related issues in a position to longer be able to own or buy a gun).


Now throw in what is happening to the Dems in their town hall meetings- Depending on which honest polls you believe, 60+% of the people DON’T want health care reform as it is currently planned. But remember dissent is now un-American; so that’s yet another list…


Now a little what if… Since the White House is directly collecting the “fishy” data via emails, all the data they collect could be considered under executive privilege! What happens if THAT data base is added to the NICS with NO ability to find out the truth of any accusations???


What if DHS and the FBI pull VA data to put together the ‘Lone Wolf’ list? Obviously they aren’t doing real well, since we have had a number of shootings since the inception of it… Personally, I think that list is specifically targeted at those who would, God Forbid, take a shot at the President. That is really the LAST thing we need…


What if the DHS memo or ‘Lone Wolf’ list is added as, oh say, an “adjunct” to the NICS??? AFTER the DHS memo has been proved via FOIA the whole of the research for that memo was basically done via search words on the Internet and via crackpot websites???


Where am I going with all this???


Well, I have a slightly different twist than Stretch Pelosi…


I believe what the administration is doing is UN-AMERICAN, collecting questionable data through “report your neighbor” emails brings to mind both the Nazi party in the 30’s and the Soviets from 1917 to the 1980’s…


I believe what the administration is NOT doing to investigate the special interest groups like ACORN, the dropped lawsuits against the New Black Panthers, etc. are UN-AMERICAN (again like the Nazis and the Brownshirts)


I believe what the administration is doing is UN-AMERICAN in labeling those who do not agree with their plans and policies, and calling them on it, as extremists…


I believe what the administration is doing is UN-AMERICAN by weaseling ways to take away the 2nd Amendment rights upheld by SCOTUS.

I believe what Pelosi and Hoyer are doing UN-AMERICAN for wanting to quash our 1st Amendment right to free speech.


And lastly, I believe the actions of the congresscritters who are NOT listening to their constituents are truly UN-AMERICAN. They have completely forgotten who elected them and their absolute power has corrupted them to the point they are delusional…


A ‘good’ bad example is McCaskill in Missouri… When she gets up and says, “Do I have to use my parent voice”? rather than answer a question she doesn’t like; that is just flat insulting, not only to her constituents, but to every American.


I believe the administration is doing it’s damnest to take over the US, turn it into a socialist nanny state, a single party country, and really and truly make Obama the “ruler” of the US…


I believe WE, John Q. Public, have to fight back legally. By voting them out of office in 2010 and 2012, by standing up in public sessions and asking (politely) those questions we REALLY want answers to, not allowing the special interest groups to control the agendas, the census, the media or any thing that benefits them directly to the detriment of average Americans.


That is all.

Un-American??? — 9 Comments

  1. In this country we have many bright people who did well in college pursuing degrees that are irrelevant to the economic engine that powers the country. They are in the social service side of things and they know, in their hearts, they are much smarter than the rest of us. This is their time to shine; they have one of theirs in power. They are determined to impose their will on the rest of us; strictly for our own good, of course. Things would go so smoothly if we would just shut up. What they didn’t study was history and it’s sister, the law. I can imagine their frustration and even bewilderment by our obstinate resistance to their wonderful ideas. Kind of like a shiny new officer and veteran NCO’s. What is lacking is mutual respect. Maybe they do have some worthy ideas; maybe not. The lack of respectful dialog is making serious problems intractable problems. Just my opinion.

  2. scary stuff

    … and over here they’re rewritting the terrorism act to include hoaxes and to give the police greater powers to search houses 🙁 ….

  3. McCaskill’s “Mommy” comment left me seething. The ARROGANCE of the women. We should, “sit quietly and listen…”? Like children listening to our betters?

    She was just elected in the last go-around but you can bet, it will be her last term in office.

  4. WSF- I believe you have hit the nail on the head! And the O vs. NCO is VERY appropriate!

    Julie- It is, and not getting any better, on either side of the pond!

    Crucis- One can only hope…

    Fuzzy- Agreed!

  5. I am expecting a visit from,DHS FBI, SS, somebody real soon! I sent an email to the whitehouse site and described some very “fishy” I saw on the tube the other day. obamameister said thatsureons get $50K for amputating a leg. when in actuality the College of Surgeons said the fee is a lot closer to $740.00!! I demanded that they investigate this fishy comment! I expect I’ll be the one being investigated! How did this turkey ever get such a free pass from virtually everyone except we rightwing nuts and vets?

  6. CS- You’re correct!

    Ev- They’ll probably get you after they pick me up… sigh…

    ADM- Thanks!
