I am sure this name
Pavel Morozov is foreign to Americans. In a nutshell, he was a darling young boy who achieved martyrdom in Soviet Russia by reporting his father's un-Partylike activities to the police. The father was summarily arrested and executed, and Pavlik's family, unable to see his unbridled patriotism, murdered him. There are statues of Pavlik throughout Russia, and schoolchildren were
indoctrinated taught about his courage and bravery.
The Administration hopes that Joey Sixpack will take Morozov's fallen torch by sending in "fishy" emails about the President's Master Plan to the authorities at the White House. Can you imagine the [completely justified] outcry had Bush enacted such a policy?
I am sure that this story will be generally dismissed by the media and quickly die down in popularity (maybe the President can stage a bourbon summit as a distraction this time?), but the fact remains that fundamental principles on which this country was founded upon are being ever so slightly encroached.
Put a frog in boiling water and it'll jump out, but turn the heat up slowly and it will never realize that it's being boiled alive.
Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things."
Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.
