The American Left, the White House, and Totalitarianism

Not only is the Obama White House asking for people to "turn in" their neighbors, but they're also acting against citizens' rights to yell at their representatives by moving to counter the voices of these citizens.

Obama rallies health counterprotesters - Washington Times:

"A day after the White House dismissed protesters at town-hall events as people sent from opposition groups in Washington, the administration's political wing began mobilizing millions of its own supporters"

This is really extraordinary, because it harkens back to the McCarthy days, when Americans were expected and encouraged to turn in their fellow citizens for "suspected" communist activities. However, this time it's worse: it concerns no threat to the US (as communism may have been), but rather it's about Americans voicing their First Amendment freedoms countering Obama's and the democrats' proposed policies. In response, the democrats are moving to quiet American voices, so that they can operate without opposition.

I really can't believe what I'm seeing here in America. No right-wing politician in this country, even McCarthy, ever did anything close to this. It smacks of the early Nazi party days, when the SA started controlling the German people through fear.

The White House's request to "turn in" information and their efforts to counter American citizens' protests to their elected representatives supports the argument that the left is after totalitarianism. Clearly now, that's where Obama and the democrats want to head.

Unbelievable; having not just a president, but an entire political party, that runs so counter to the American ethos.
