An even more menacing action came directly from the White House itself. Realizing that Barack Obama's underhanded program can only be successfully achieved within a complete media/information monopoly, he has called on sympathetic minions to help compile an "enemies list" by submitting the identities of any who dare to resist his medical socialism plan by disseminating any information that "seems fishy."

The completely ambiguous and broad nature of this qualifier is entirely deliberate. By leaving the definition of "fishy" completely in the eyes of the leftist beholder, Obama and his statist cabal can paint with a broad brush any who dare to offer any view other than the state approved opinion on the government takeover of the medical industry. In this manner he hopes to intimidate the faint of heart and thus discourage further participation.

To date these devious schemes have only served to energize the grassroots, who realize that as efforts on both sides of the issue intensify, the stakes for their freedom and the very future of their country are raised. Lose this battle, with all of the criminal duplicity that the left has employed, and the former greatness of their country is finished. Not only will the medical socialists henceforth seize complete dominion over who will and will not receive care, but the very manner in which such statism is imposed will serve as a model for the complete eradication of freedom from every aspect of life in this country.

Sadly, while real America is not backing down, Republican insiders are once again bending to the political pressures from inside the Beltway. Few have risen to the defense of the protestors with any real exuberance. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.- KY), who should be leading the conservative charge, instead offered this insipid observation "I think attacking citizens in our country for expressing their opinions about an issue of this magnitude may indicate some weakness in their position on the merits."

This is no time for such faux diplomacy. When the left seeks to forcibly impose its agenda, while working to stamp out every opposing voice, the conservative counter-offensive must be far more strident. Anything less than a response of equivalent ferocity from those in positions of prominence on the right, especially considering the worthiness of the cause, amounts to a capitulation to the enemies of freedom.

It is high time for Congressional and Senate Republicans to become fully engaged in this conflict. Obama, Pelosi, and their kind have made their position and their ultimate intentions clear. They are waging an all-out war to wrest complete control of the future of the country from its citizenry. Acquiescence under the guise of "ending the rancor," "finding common ground," or "bipartisanship," is not an option.
