Sophomoric Actions?

I noticed this article the other day and have to admit that I didn't know how to respond to it, other than in shock. The writer, Linda Douglass, was a reporter plucked from the news and put into the White House where she currently is the Deputy Assistant of the White House Health Care Task Force. She is responsible for the infamous email line to the White House that is to report any "fishy" information about the health care reform bill, read: government snitch.

After reading this, I could not shake the overt sense of hostility this woman has for those who oppose her beliefs about health care. It is very clear to the reader, and somewhat frightening that one would have that kind of an attitude while in such a high position in power. It just reeks of pre-war Germany chants / sloganeering. It is just plain scary. The pent up anger this woman holds, and the "enemy" mentality are frightening. Also, it seems very unprofessional--I wonder if she can have a civil ordinary discussion about healthcare with one of the "dead-end bandits and saboteurs" that oppose her views. She is not public office material, and should resign for even contemplating writing such a piece.

You must read this article, click here; I have included some of her quotes here too.

"The truth can be told at last, that these so-called "protests" are merely the desperate rear flank mob actions of dead-end bandits and saboteurs in the pay of enemy insurance agents."

Pay them no heed, for these outside agitators in no way represent any threat to our great patriotic push forward for increased citizen heathfulness! These well-dressed prep school gangsters of reaction seek only to frighten and demoralize and intimidate you, with their confusing "facts" and hob-nailed Sperry Topsiders. Unfortunately they are joined in conspiracy by a well-financed network of unlicensed blogs and talk radio traitors, who exaggerate their numbers and percolate disinformation -- even cleverly staged YouTube videos of an impostor President Obama saying "quotes"!

Remain strong, citizen, for the day of their comeuppance is near!

You too can help by remaining ever-vigilant for health traitors in your local sectors.

Until we can find the fifth columnists who are leaking this classified information, it is important that you alert security forces to possible organized infiltrators before they enter the building and disrupt the applause sign schedule.

Note these mobs are so well paid for their agitation that they actually arrived in their own cars and expensive non-matching t-shirts. Fishy? You bet! Report them at once!

Spotting potential health care traitors online at first seems trickier than in person, until you remember that behind every opponent site lies a web of anti-patriotic conspirators.

The days of your deviltry are numbered, well-dressed running-dog lackey of gangster insurance plutocrats! You and your $250 suit are now entered into our monitoring data base!

That is all, citizen! Remain steadfast in your grassroots vigilance, and a healthy tomorrow will be yours!"

Since when are people with opposing opinions of health care "traitors"? "Security forces" to stop citizens of voicing their opinions on health care? "Report them at once"? I still don't realize how one can be unpatriotic for resisting something that we have not had in our entire history as a nation. It is not even mentioned in any political writings--and wasn't invented until the middle of the 20th century.
