We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
How to Get Your Name On The White House Enemies List
Carl Andrews* | October 24, 2009
You could get a job with Fox News.
That one is pretty much a no-brainer.
However, there are a multitude of other methods.
You could take part in a Tea Party event. (That way, not only will you make the
enemies list, you’ll be a racist as well.)
You could be someone from a small town bitterly clinging to your guns and your
religion.
According to Obama, if you oppose amnesty for illegal aliens you are a
“demagogue.”
I almost forgot, again. if you are a Tea Party protestor, you are also part of
an “angry mob” as well as being a potential terrorist.
If you oppose underhanded, backroom Chicago-style wheeling and dealing, you
probably will make the cut.
You could be a “dishonest and partisan” Republican who opposes his health care
plan.
And if you don’t fall into any of those categories, don’t despair, there are
many ways to get yourself listed as an enemy of Obama.
You could be a capitalist, a pro-lifer, a supporter of the Second Amendment, a
global-warming skeptic, one of those “Drill Here Drill Now” people, even
something as simple as being a patriotic American can help you make the grade.
The President has also said that “I don’t want the folks who created the mess to
do a lot of talking.”
So if you don’t want your name on Obama’s enemy list, you better keep your mouth
shut.
Some members of Congress seem determined to make the list, despite our advice.
Speaking about the White House call for a boycott of Fox News, Representative
Jason Altmire had this to say:
“I think it’s beneath the White House to get into a tit for tat with news
organizations.”
While America faces a growing list of problems, Representative Eric Cantor
complained about the loss of focus while the White House “bickers with a cable
news network.”
I can hear President Obama now:
Axelrod! Put their names on the list!
Naturally, this is not the first time in world history that a nation’s leader
has kept an eye on anyone who speaks out against him.
Just a few of the people from the past who kept the same sort of list that Obama
seems to be patterning his on were such fair-minded individuals as former
paranoiac-in-chief President Richard Nixon, Vladimir Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Joseph
Stalin, and, last but not least, the personal favorite of White House
Communications Director Anita Dunn, one her favorite political philosophers, Mao
Zedong
A few of you are feeling pretty smug right now, thinking that currently, only in
America, the land of opportunity, could someone from any walk of life get their
name on their country’s leader’s enemies list.
Sorry to break this to you, but President Obama is far from being the only world
leader who keeps a list of those who dare oppose him.
Some of the others are:
North Korea
Iran
Cuba
Equatorial Guinea
Saudi Arabia
Liberia
Sudan
The leaders of these countries, along with President Obama, keep track of anyone
who doesn’t care for the way they do things.
I wonder what George Orwell would have to say about this?
