Who's Spying on Who?

Let's digest this a bit. The White House is now asking people to snitch on fellow citizen's. From the website, it says, "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy" then you should email it to the White House. You can read about it here:


Several things I want to touch on here. First, I keep hearing people breaking out the old saw that George Bush used warrantless wiretaps which were much worse than this. Two big differences here in my opinion. One is that these wiretaps were only for phone calls between someone in this country and known or suspected terrorists residing outside the US. The other is this, wiretapping terrorists is completely different than asking people to turn in their neighbor if they disagree with the President's viewpoint. I mean what is "fishy"? That opens up the box to anything. Notice that Bush is targeting terrorists, Obama is targeting Americans.

Next, I vaguely remember when we were told it was patriotic to disagree with the administration:





Thank you Hillary for that rousing reminder to dissent from our current President's policies. Now, I want to get back to the "fishy" comment. Seriously, what does that mean? If I say that Obama's health care bill would fund abortions, is that fishy? What if I say he wants to move to a single payer system, is that fishy? What if I said his statements about us all keeping our private health insurance is false, fishy? What if I provide facts for all that, is it still fishy?

And a couple more videos of Obama saying some "fishy" things:













Its no wonder the natives continue to get restless. I guess I get to look forward to being watched by the government now. Maybe they'll send some G-Men to get me. Please, Mr. President, when you said them, could you tell them to bring some global warming with them, its been awfully cold here in Minnesota this year.
