Don't Ask , Don't Tell , or Else!

Humana health-care has been given some friendly advice from the White House , they have been informed it would be in their best interest to stop sending mailers to their medicare patients stating that there are possible changes coming that may be un-pleaseant and not be of any advantage to seniors , as far as cost and coverage are concerned. Humana has told it's clients that single patient coverage ( Obama- care) will not be a good option for them. I find it disturbing that the government found it necessary to use veiled threats against a private organization in an effort to limit information to those who have a right to know every view-point available on not only this ,but any issue of public concern. Dissenting opinions are becoming more and more un-welcome by this administration. Those who have differing opinions are being characterized as un-American , crack-pots , and racists . This administration's czar Mark Lloyd has advocated the possible take over of the internet when the White House perceives a threat. This smacks of a 1st. amendment infringement that cannot be tolerated on any level. We have heard of past administration's using the IRS as a tool of intimidation to suppress dissent , the fear of an audit is very powerful . The White House throws a great shadow , and this shadow can cover a multitude of wrongs . No mandate or any statement can be tolerated that limits our free speech rights. Nixon had his enemies list , no American who wishes to express his or her opinion should ever be on an enemies list , I fear this administration has its' own list of undesirables . Liberal or conservative , every American should be able to speak out without fear of repercussion by those in power. When an "Iron Hand in a Velvet Glove " is used to intimidate our collective ears should perk up. Be it a Nixon or an Obama this behavior is not to be accepted as proper . As Americans we need to be aware and speak out when our first amendment rights are threatened. What would Jefferson or Adams have said about a government that threatens its' constituents. We must remember our heritage of freedom and dearly protect it. God bless and protect our great nation!
