Comments on: Flagged as ‘Fishy!’ by the White House http://www.rockmycar.net/2009/08/05/flagged-as-fishy-by-the-white-house/ Rants from San Diego journalist & bartender Tom Chambers Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:07:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Macadamia Man http://www.rockmycar.net/2009/08/05/flagged-as-fishy-by-the-white-house/comment-page-1/#comment-28845 Macadamia Man Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:24:26 +0000 http://www.rockmycar.net/?p=2282#comment-28845 Paranoia Strikes Deep In The Heartland . . . as Brooooce (or was it G S-H?) would sing. Now, if you were planning to covertly collect names and thus implement packdrill, would you go out of your way to flag the archive? Ooohhhh, naughty, yes, of course, to be sneaky subtle? Or perhaps just to make sure accusations don't fly uncontradicted, a? Perspective always depends on prejudices. Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't every archive cut both ways, and serve to protect (from a genuine conspiracy to pervert) as well as present a risk of perversion of governance? Damn, it's those pesky intrusive regulations again. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Hey, ho. One day we will all be free. And dead.

The White House is not just another left wing website. Obama spokesman Mister Gibbs has said that "nobody is collecting names," but he also made clear that the WH is "required by law" to keep all correspondence. http://tiny.cc/cwS2j What a convenient law if you happen to be collecting names and don't really have to tell anyone that you are doing so. People should read Byron York: "Obama's dissident database could be secret -- and permanent" at The Washington Examiner. http://tiny.cc/grVPX When Hitler first started his takeover of Germany, people didn't take him seriously. They thought he was a joke. Even today, a lot of folks make fun of Ahmadinejad, but he won't be so amusing when he has a nuke. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to respond to the situation, but rather trying to warn people not to take it as joke because in the long run it's not funny At All.
