- All Leftists and terrorists have one thing in common: You can scream at 'em, you can argue with 'em, you can chase 'em and you can even shoot 'em. But for God's sake, just don't laugh at 'em.
Well, considering the White House's brazen request for American citizens to "flag" other American citizens by turning their HealthCare content into the White House Dissent Management Bureau via flag@whitehouse.gov, this brownshirt tactic needs to be laughed at.
How: Turn yourselves in. All of us and everyone we know. Report yourselves to the White House Dissent Management Czar - and in such volume - as to make a mockery of the entire sleazy endeavor.
Think of it as reporting yourself to the local PD for speeding. We'd all be emailing about 5 times per day. Well, every time you have a thought on HealthCare, much less write or speak about it, send the contents of the thoughts/words/conversation to flag@WhiteHouse.gov .
Operation Go Flag Yourself!
Update: NYT reports: “Due to privacy concerns, federal agencies since June 2000 [i.e. primarily the Bush administration] have been prohibited from using many such Web-tracking technologies, particularly persistent cookies, unless an agency head decreed a compelling need.
But the Obama administration is keen to modernize federal agency sites and . . . it sees the old cookie policy as out of date, now that cookies are mainstream and more accepted, and a barrier to adding user-friendly features, analyzing what content is most valuable to citizens and figuring out how to make improvements.
Yet, the cookie issue remains a hot-button one for many citizens and Internet-privacy advocates who believe that in a free society the state should not track citizens accessing public information. “

I take it that you were equally alarmed when Bush initiated operation TIPS and it's stated goal of having people spy on each other.
So you see terrorists in the same category as bloggers who write about Obamacare. Wow. You really are a true believer.
And you feel all your fellow citizens should be viewed as potential terrorists. Well probably not all, just the ones who disagree with you.
Your argument is so lame, it's hardly worth responding to, but yes, if I saw my "fellow citizen" breaking into a house, or packing a gun while boarding a plane, or making bombs in a basement ala Bill Ayers, I would indeed call someone and report it. Although probably not President Obama. I wouldn't report an offensive website; I'd click through. I wouldn't even leave a comment questioning the posters intelligence or morality. I do contact webmasters of library sites to let them know about links that don't work, or misspelled words, or lack of a link to the director's office, but that's a public service.

I'm embarrassed that my previous post was barely worthy of your response. So please bear with me while I try again.
I don't believe a program like Operation Tips was started or is even necessary to get people to turn in someone involved in obvious criminal activities. Activities like "breaking into a house, or packing a gun while boarding a plane, or making bombs in a basement". I'm fairly certain you will find there are already laws against these types of activities. And even Liberals want burglars, hijackers and illegal bomb makers caught and punished.
The goal of Operation Tips was to have folks, like the Telephone or TV repairman, take a look around while in the customer's home and report anything or anyone that they judged to be suspicious. That's it in a nut shell, it was a government attempt to get people to spy on one another. Using this vaguest of guideline, do you think the the other guy is a threat.
It's a darn good thing you stop by here occasionally. Someone needs to knock that scary ol' ACLU newsletter from your grasp. The Dem Congress renewed the Patriot Act if you'll remember, and no one suggested turning in bloggers/e-mailers who didn't like Bush, or your name would have been on a list. Hello! we're talking health care, not terrorism. Someone probably tipped off the assassins of that latest Al-Qaeda guy, don't you think? Or do you think he just walked into it? If he hadn't died, he sure would have with Obama Care.
And what do you think about mandatory background screens by your employer or church or government? Isn't that a violation of the innocent in order to find the guilty?
It would be my guess that a person would be aware of any mandatory background checks undertaken by their employer, church or government. Or do you suppose they might have the Maytag repairman clandestinely making them?
Looks like you have a real dilemma on your hands, now there's another anonymous or two posting here.
In honor of the Go Flag Yourself movement, I've started up www.GoFlagYourself.com . I thought it would be nice to provide a central jumping point for some links to all these great articles. I would also like to link to this page from the site (if you don't mind).
That, and I want to help citizens and innocent victims of self-inflicted thought-crimes to be able to report themselves to our benevolent rulers. This is the only way we can re-educate ourselves.
(I noticed some have questioned whether or not we were concerned with the Bush Administration's Patriot Act. Well, of course. We are also upset that he did not give us an option to report ourselves or our neighbors to our benevolent leaders. We are thankful to the current wise and powerful administration for giving us this freedom!)
