Would YOU Snitch on ME???

By
Real Estate Agent with EXIT REALTY SOLUTIONS

President Obama wants to know if ANYONE is opposing the health care plan publicly or in casual conversation so they have initiated the "SNITCH ON YOUR NEIGHBOR" program.  Isn't wonderful that you can now snitch on each other and it is encouraged by our government.  I was raised to never be a tattle tale.  The scriptures even encourage us not to indict someone without at least 3 witnesses.  My my my, how the times are a changing.free speech, kingwood tx homes for sale

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly gives YOU the right to free expression.

Freedom of Speech and or Expression is not only supported by our Constitution but also by other venues.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation which includes freedom of expression.  In practice, the right to freedom of speech is NOT absolute in any country as it is subject to limitations, such as "hate speech."  The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.  It states that people have the "right to hold opinions without interference.  Everyone shall have the right of freedom of expression."   Freedom of speech is also recognized in European, inter- American and African regional human rights law.  Articles 10, 13 and 9.

Well, I am inviting you to snitch on me.  I think that we can all agree that we need not only health care reform in some "workable" fashion but reform in the housing industry as well.   I do OPPOSE BOTH OPENLY AND PRIVATELY the current health care reform.  So, let me save you the trouble and I will just snitch on myself.

LOL someone is going to forward this to the administration. There needs to be something done with health care and Im not sure what that may be. But make it affordable so it quits killing me.

This is what you do in un-democratic countries and it is true that it was on the white house website. We the people can still take this country back.

I recently saw a news program about how the use of our credit cards and cell phones really has brought us into the true Big Brother age. So maybe this is more real than you think.

Dave, I am not a fan of the old rock group "Twisted Sisters" but I do remember a song that they did with the words, "we are just not going to take it anymore!"

Not only am I aware of it I have turned in TWO already. The 1st was the DNC. The Dem National Committe is putting out DIS-information no individual could possibly match. Then I turned myself in as obama surely needs to be watching me as the truth is not on his side.

John, I never thought of it that way.  I think that I will turn in the DNC for dis-info as well.  I am not a party man but in this case....simple reason tells you where the dog is sleeping.

It seems "Free Speach" is still ok as long as it agrees with the powers that be.

Bill.  So true.  I actually struggle with myself to post politics because of the possibility of offending.  On the other hand.  I look at it as another venue to stand for the red, white and blue....if you agree with me or not.....I still defend your right to express it.

By far, the #1 priority for reform should be the POLITICIANS! We have a bunch of dishonest, self serving politicians that think they're our masters.

This is unfortunately the insanity that I expect out of our Government. Why not encourage people to snitch on their neighbor? Why not make people feel as if they can no longer speak freely about their approval or non approval of what our elected officials are doing and the direction they are taking our county. The last thing we won't is for America to continue feeling like America. After all, it's only made us the most powerful nation on the planet, so why shouldn't we completely abandon every thing that put us there?

Bonnie, yes he did.  I hate to compare them but there is a growing list of similarities between the two.

Being a snitch is not always a bad thing. One must just be selective in their choices.

Perhaps that is true Shelton.  In the context of the blog however, I would not agree.  Once we erode our freedoms, we diminish the very essence of who we are as a people and a country.
