The people are afraid, and they need to fight back!!!

2009-08-10T20:43:00.000-07:00

Today the American people are more afraid than ever before, not because of terrorism or the threat there of, not because of an ever shrinking economy, and not even about whether they’ll be able to pay the rent; but they are afraid of losing their freedoms, their liberties, and their rights. For over 20 years Presidents and Congress’s both Democratic and Republican have been damaging our country with unconstitutional laws, bills, and acts.

Before yesterday I had never read the Patriot Act of 2001 or of 2008. The 2001 Patriot Act was passed by a Republican Congress, while the 2008 Patriot Act was passed by a Democratic Congress. As I said I had not read the bill/act until just yesterday after hearing something; Judge Andrew Napolitano has said. He stated that: “The Patriot Act allowed for federal officials to write their own search warrants…” Not believing everything I hear on TV or on the internet, I went and looked it up and come to find out it was absolutely true.

The Act states and I quote: “…enforcement officers designated or authorized by the Board or a reserve bank under paragraph (1) or (2) are authorized while on duty to carry firearms and make arrests without warrants for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony…” That statement gave Police Officers authorized by the federal government, to write their own arrest warrants…” If the government can just say write your own warrant, what is it for the government to just say, you don’t need a warrant just go on in…

Ladies and gentlemen I have been blogging about the Amendments to the Constitution; which Amendment does this bill violate? Let’s look here: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and ‘NO WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON PROBABLY CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION,’ and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
I don’t know I may have given it away there, but I believe and so do many others that, this bill especially this statement violates the Constitution of the United States, and therefore is Unconstitutional.

Now let me make a statement here before everyone goes crazy on me here. I understand why the Congress, the President and members of the United States Government thought they needed this power. It was after September 11, 2001 the government wanted to make sure that the people were protected. …BUT… It is not the government’s job to keep us safe, and that is illustrated by this Supreme Court opinion: “…A government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen… (Warren v. District of Columbia)” The only job that the President has, is to keep the citizens of the United States Free. The job of the Congress is to pass laws that keep American’s free and the Supreme Court’s job is to eliminate laws that make American’s less free. THAT IS IT!!!

It is not President Bush’s job to keep us safe,

It is not President Obama’s job to keep us safe,

It was not President Clinton’s job to keep us safe,

It is not a President’s job to keep the country safe, the reason it is not their job to do such things is because doing so would interfere with the American people’s rights, and liberties… The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, allows citizens to keep themselves safe. We have a military that keeps America safe, and we have a police force, that could come or go as it did during the Katrina disaster…

The founding fathers of this country knew that if invaded, or if attacked by a foreign country, or by internal forces, it would take the government too long to arrive that is why the American people have the right to keep… and … Bear… Arms… The American people have the right to defend themselves and their fellow citizens…

So while the American people are afraid of their rights being taken away, we see an increase in gun sales, we see a decrease in taxes being paid, and we see citizens going to their “Representatives,” and telling them to get on the ball.

America must stand up and speak out, use your voice as your weapon…

Bring your video cameras to the town hall meetings use your video cameras as your weapon of freedom.

Let your voice be heard by the masses and by the YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, because as the word implies they represent you, not the other way around…

Ladies and gentlemen, you are being considered un-American if you stand up and protest, let’s show them that standing up and protesting is the most American thing a citizen can do. Let’s show them, that their thoughts and opinions don’t matter, because it is our thoughts and opinions that they represent…
Let’s take our country back, let’s replace the bad Congressional Members, and the bad Senatorial Members, and replace them with people who will actually do what their job entails, which is to represent their constituents.

TELL THEM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!

TELL THEM AMERICA!!!

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!!

USE YOUR VOICE TO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK!!!

DO NOT BE SILENCED!!!

DO NOT BE SHUT-UP!!!

DO WHAT THE DECLARATION SAYS TO DO IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!!!

And that is:

“In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for redress in the ‘MOST HUMBLE’ terms…”
BE HUMBLE BE POLITE RESPECT THE OFFICE, JUST TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK, WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO, THEY REPRESENT YOU NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

2009-08-09T15:43:00.001-07:00

On Tuesday I started our expedition on the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution is complex but it is easy to understand; it is written in the plain language of the time, and is available for free from the Heritage Foundation. (http://www.heritage.org/morningbell/) Ladies and gentlemen The Fourth Amendment is as vast and great as the First Amendment; however it has a protective power. This Amendment specifically spelled out the Federal Government what they couldn’t do to an individual. Let’s look at The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Amendment 4: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and not Warrants shall issue, but upon probably cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

As I stated above this Amendment is pretty complex and vast, but it is one of the most important amendments for it protects the American from too much government control. Let’s dissect this amendment one by one…

“The right of the people to be secure in their houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…” This statement provided that the Federal Government not be allowed to search your home, your papers or your effects (property) unreasonably. In my High School’s Law & Justice course we learned about various Supreme Court decisions that correlate with what this Amendment stands for. At one time, only the Federal government was stopped by this amendment however with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment these rights were asserted to the states. Before the Fourteenth Amendment however federal agents would wait for State officials to come and do their work for them.

…”and now Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause…” This means and asserted that (at the time) federal agents get a warrant from a judge before they were allowed to search a person’s home. However as I said above the federal government was able to get around all of this by having State Law Enforcement do the searching for them.

…”supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” This statement of course protected the citizen from federal intrusion, however as said above until the Fourteenth amendment the states didn’t comply with this constitutional right…

However, in 2009 we have The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution and therefore are 100% protected by the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

The Third Amendment, what is that about again???

2009-08-08T16:09:00.000-07:00

The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution is one that is not used too often, it s a right granted to us because of the founders concern about rulers, being too controlling. Like most rights in the Bill of Rights it is set to protect American citizens from their governments. Let’s get to know “The Third Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”

Amendment 3: No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner proscribed by law.” I believe from my readings of the Constitution and of the founders; that this amendment was established to keep the government from being able to control one’s life. One way of a government getting what they want, place a Federal Government Military Soldier in one’s home. This amendment was also established based upon what the British government was doing to the United States before the Revolutionary War. They would place “Red Coats”, in the homes of American citizens. These soldiers would be quartered in the home, and would require home owners to feed them, their men, and their horses or other animals. The soldiers would more or less enslave American citizens to aid them in any way they required.

Since this Amendment has passed Federal Laws have changed so much that, the President of the United States has no authority to send National Guard or Military troops into a city without State or approval i.e. Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans, LA. However that law is in place for good reasons, and there are other laws governing such activities as well. There are laws that do not allow military troops to be used in a “Law Enforcement,” role as well.

All of these laws were brought about by the Third Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and in today’s very scary time, we have to thank God we have such a brilliant Constitution that protects us as Americans, and keeps Government from interfering with our lives too much.

I would like thank you for reading today’s blog, I have been doing one daily so I hope everyone has been able to keep up. Please visit my website at www.thedavidhittleshow.com where these blogs are also posted, and please listen to my radio show every Saturday at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, until next time thank you and God Bless!

The Second Amendment, Good Or Bad it is a right!!!

2009-08-07T23:39:00.000-07:00

As I promised yesterday, I’m going to write a blog about the Second Amendment today but first let us read the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Amendment 2: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” These 27 words have kept America save for well over 200 years. However until just recently people especially “Anti-Gun” politicians relied on the words, “…well regulated Militia…” as to say that individual Americans have no right to carry or “bear” Arms. The Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller June 26, 2008 No. 07-290. The affirming justices stated clearly that: “The Constitution leaves the District of Columbia a variety of tools for combating that problem, including some measures regulating handguns, see supra, at 54-55, and n. 26.” “But the enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home. Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.”

With this decision all cities and states that banned all out all weapons or handguns, are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. I assume this would include the expired “Assault Weapons Ban.” From the opinion and the affirming judgment above, the Supreme Court has indicated that the Second Amendment grants an “individual right,” and not a right just for a “Militia.” However the Supreme Court in the affirming opinion stated this: “absolute prohibition of handguns held.” Those words may mean, that if the “Assault Weapons Ban,” comes upon the desk of the President of the United States a new lawsuit will be required. However thankfully, due to the coming elections for people such as Senate Majority Leader: Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a new “Assault Weapons,” ban brought forth by Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder, will not be coming forth anytime soon. Reid’s spokesman Jim Manley stated: “Sen. Reid would oppose an effort [to] reinstate the ban if the Senate were to vote on it in the future.” (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/reid-joins-pelosi-in-opposing-weapons-ban-revival-2009-02-26.html)

In 2008 5 Republicans sponsored a revival to the “Assault Weapons Ban,” this was H.R. 6257 which was sponsored by Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL), Rep. Michael Castle (R-DE), Rep. Michael Ferguson, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and Rep. Christopher Shays. – Mark Kirk is still a Representative, Michael Castle is also still a Representative, Rep. Michael Ferguson was succeeded by Rep. Leonard Lance (R-NJ) in 2008, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is still a Representative, and Rep. Christopher Hayes was succeeded by Jim Himes (D-CT).

So, 2 Republicans paid for this sponsorship with their jobs even though this bill never got out of committee. That alone shows the power of the Second amendment. I could sit here and print the number of people and the companies and the organizations and every person who is against the “right to bear Arms, but that would just be to use space, I will otherwise post the link and you can check it out for yourself… (http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?id=15&issue=011)

However what I am going to do is illustrate some people who understood our need for guns, and spoke about that need:

“When only cops have guns, it’s called a “police state.” Love your country, but never trust its government – Robert A. Heinlein - American Science Fiction Writer.

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” – Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 - Third President of the United States.

“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” – George Washington – First President of the United States.

“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” – Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188 – First Secretary of Treasury of the United States.

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759. – Sixth President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania.

“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent… The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.” – Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis

“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it and overthrow it.” – Abraham Lincoln, 4 April 1861 – Sixteenth President of the United States.

“One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms.” – Constitutional scholar Joseph Story, 1840

“The bearing of arms is the essential medium through which the individual asserts both his social power and his participation in politics as a reasonable moral being…” – J.G.A. Pocock, describing the beliefs of the founders of the U.S.

“Men trained in arms from infancy, and animated by the love of liberty, will afford neither a cheap or easy conquest.” – From the Declaration of the Continental Congress, July 1775.

“As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and other of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let you guns, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks.” – Thomas Jefferson, writing to his teenaged nephew. - Third President of the United States

“No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.” –16 Am. Jur. Sec. 166 late 2d, Sec 256 (Unconstitutional Official Acts)

“The state calls its own violence ‘law,’ but that of the individual ‘crime’.” – Max Stirner – German Philosopher

“Taking my gun away because I might shoot someone is like cutting my tongue out because I might yell ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater.” – Peter Ventoklis

“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” – Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story of the John Marshall Court

“A militia when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves… and include all men capable of bearing arms.” – Senator Richard Henry Lee, 1788, on “militia” in the 2nd Amendment

“Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own direction, and heaving them under the management of the Congress? If our defense be the *real* object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, of equal safety to us, as in our own hands?” – Patrick Henry, speech of June 9, 1788.

“To disarm the people… was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason, speech of June 14, 1788.

“The great object is, that every man be armed. […] Everyone who is able may have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, speech of June 14, 1788.

“Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen.” – “M.T. Cicero”, in a newspaper letter of 1788 touching the “militia” referred to in the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

“The the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizen from keeping their own arms… -- Samuel Adams, in “Phila. Independent Gazetteer”, August 20, 1789

“The danger (where there is any) from armed citizens, is only to the *government*, no to *society*; and as long as they have nothing to revenge in the government (which they cannot have while it is in their own hands) there are many advantages in their being accustomed to the use of arms, and no possible disadvantage.” – Joel Barlow, “Advice to the Privileged Orders”, 1792-93

“[The disarming of citizens] has a double effect, it palsies the hand and brutalizes the mind: a habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral [force]; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression.” – Joel Barlow, “Advice to the Privileged Orders”, 1792-93

“You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the great struggle for independence.” – Attributed to Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948)

“Every Communist must grasp the truth, ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.’ – Mao Tse-tung, 1938, inadvertently endorsing the Second Amendment.

“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” –Robert A. Heinlein, “Beyond This Horizon”, 1942

“The right to buy weapons is the right to be free.” – A.E. Van Vogt, “The Weapon Shops Of Isher”, ASF December 1942

“Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” – George Orwell, “You and the Atom Bomb”, 1945

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under and government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. […] the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proven to be always possible.” – Hubert H. Humphrey, 1960

“No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone, convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any type of firearm without restriction. Half a century of strict controls on pistols has ended, perversely, with a far greater use of this weapon in crime than ever before. – Colin Greenwood, in the study “Firearms Control”, 1972

“Let us hope our weapons are never needed –but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government – and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.” –Edward Abbey, “Abbey’s Road”, 1979

“If I were to select a jack-booted group of fascists who are perhaps as large a danger to American society as I could pick today, I would pick BATF [the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms]. – U.S. Representative John Dingell, 1980

“… a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizens…” – Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. App. 181)

“The conclusion is thus in inescapable that the history, concept, and working of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicated that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.” –Report of the Subcommittee On the Constitution of the Committee On The Judiciary, United States Senate, 97th Congress, second session (February, 1982), SuDoc# Y4.J 89/2: Ar 5/5

“I don’t like the idea that the police department seems bent on keeping a pool of unarmed victims available for the predations of the criminal class.” – David Mohler, 1989, on being denied a carry permit in NYC.

“Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don’t have a gun, freedom of speech has no power.” – Yoshimi Ishikawa, Japanese author, in the LA Times 15 Oct. 1992

“You know why there’s a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.” – Rush Limbaugh, in a moment of unaccustomed profundity 17 Aug. 1993

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. – John F. Kennedy

Violations and Errors to the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States!!

2009-08-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

As I continue to read “The 5000 Year Leap,” I continue to learn more and more about this nation’s constitution. So I figured why not write a blog about recent violations of the constitution of the United States. First let’s look at the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Amendment 1: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, of prohibiting the free exercise thereof; of abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Ladies and gentlemen this is considered by most Americans to be the most important right that is granted to the people by God. From reading “The 5000 Year Leap,” I learned what Thomas Jefferson meant by a “wall separating church and state…” Yes, Thomas Jefferson said those words but he wasn’t speaking about State governments when he stated “state.” According to his writing reflected in the book “The 5000 Year Leap,” “…the Federal government including the Supreme Court was restricted from dealing with issues of religion…” It was for the States to decide and to impose “equal religious freedoms…” So to wrap up this error and violation of the constitution, the States were to be in charge of making sure that Religion was free for all in all states, and that the Federal Government was restricted from interfering with that, due to Thomas Jefferson’s “Wall of Separation between Church and State.” The States were responsible for making sure that you were allowed equal religious rights… and that was the meaning behind the “Separation between Church and State.”

The Federal Government in the same instance is “not allowed” to interfere with a citizen’s right to free exercise of religion. However they do, “The Supreme Court has ruled that crosses or other religious symbols were not allowed to be placed on Public property also known as, State Government land.” This is wrong according to our founding fathers… The Supreme Court is not allowed to rule on religious matters according to our founding fathers. They [The Supreme Court] are blocked by the “Wall” “Separating Church and State.” Again as with above, the State is in charge of establishing that all citizens have the free and equal right to religion.

Our founding fathers realized that this country should not punish people for their free and open expression of speech. However, this sentence in our constitution is violated every day. People are arrested for speaking their minds in the streets HERE IN THE UNITED STATES… People in San Francisco were arrested for reading in the streets their own bibles. PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED for speaking and acting on their “Freedom of Speech”. “A family in Minnesota was arrested for dispensing bibles at a “Gay Pride Festival” (http://wcco.com/local/pride.festival.bibles.2.1062857.html).” “A Pastor in Kansas was arrested for reading a bible verses at an abortionist’s church…” (http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/minister-arrested-for-reading-verse-at-abortionist%E2%80%99s-church/) “A queer activist was arrested for carrying what police judged to be a Homophobic placard which she took to a protest against homophobic rally…” (http://www.indymediascotland.org/node/15704) These are just a few, ladies and gentlemen, people arrested for expressing their Freedom of Speech. Ladies and gentlemen I don’t care whether a person’s opinion supports mine or is against mine, we’re all “created equal, and we all have the right to Freedom of Speech.”

The people have the right to freedom of the press as well. Ladies and gentlemen policies and legislation, such as the “fairness doctrine,” have disturbed and disrupted that freedom of the press. However we must look at who is considered press? Who decides who the Press is and who the Press is not? Thomas Jefferson indicated in his writings who is included in the Press, and here is what Mr. Jefferson had to say: "The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823. ME 15:491” So from what Jefferson said, public opinion is considered Press, and it is permitted to freely be expressed. So the “fairness doctrine” which was first passed in the 70s, violated the “Public’s” Freedom of the Press.

The people have the right to peaceably assemble, and I assume that we will keep assembling even if Nancy Pelosi wants to call us a Mob, or even Nazi’s the only problem for her is she might be booted out of office… The people have the right to peaceable assemble such as what they are doing at the Town-Hall Meetings. Ladies and gentlemen we must make sure that we keep this alive. We must make sure that we always have the right to peacefully assemble and that we are always allowed to peaceably assemble, However as I have stated above, some are being arrested for peaceably assembling, and it is also wrong that cities make people get a “permit” before they can peaceably assemble. It is our right, why should we need a permit…

As citizens we finally have the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, that is what we did to the British Empire. We filed a petition with the British Government because they were being over-bearing. What did this petition do? It granted us Independence from the British crown. It started the United States of America as we know it. The founding fathers just assume that American citizens should have that same right. So in the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States they gave us the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Next Blog the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States!!

Angry People Every Where!!!

2009-08-05T15:09:00.000-07:00

We saw how angry people were during the Tea-Parties; we saw how they were “Taxed Enough Already” and they weren’t going to take it anymore. But now it is not just about taxes increasing, it is about our Government; the Government of the United States wants to take control of Americans health care. However again just like at the Tea-Parties, the people are coming out, except this time they are able to express their grievances to the people who are supposed to be representing them. This new health bill is a horrible invasion into people’s lives.

I have the entire bill on my computer and I was able to read through the first 200 some pages of this bill. Under the current bill here is what would happen. Say, you have Health Insurance now; Obama states that “…if you are happy with your Health Insurance you can keep it…” We’ll according to the bill that is correct but there is a stipulation; according to the bill “your current insurance company after a certain time cannot accept anyone else.” If you’re insurance company doesn’t stop accepting people they will not qualify as an approved Insurance company.

So here is what happens to you, again say you have insurance, and let's say [ooooo] for whatever reason you lose your job… (like that will ever happen), but say you do lose your job, and you lose your Employee-Run Health Insurance you will be forced onto the Government plan… Why is that? Well because every Health Insurance Company if you remember from above was forced to stop accepting new customers… Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic system? Sounds wonderful right, well there is more.
There is a whole thing in the bill about abortions as well. Guess what? They’re would be covered for by the Health Insurance that your taxes will be paying for. So in essence you will be paying for all the abortions that occur in this country. I bet the Abortion Clinics love that portion of the bill. If you think that is bad, there’s still more.

Under the plan being pushed by President Obama, the government will decide whether you are qualified to get a certain treatment, or whether you’re just too old, or too young, for a certain treatment. There are previsions in this bill that funds “Death-Easing Services.” That’s right everyone “Death Easing,” when the government which now runs your health care decide that you are just too old they say no more treatment for you.

And finally one last thing, even though the above was enough there is one more pesky thing that just doesn’t make sense. There was an Amendment to this Health Care bill, which would place our Congress under this same plan. (Hey if it is good enough for Americans isn’t it good enough for them?) We’ll obviously no, because the Amendment was shot down in a hail of gun-fire… Wonder why that would have been aren’t they giving the American people the best possible coverage possible?

Well this bill sounds like a winner, anyway please visit www.thedavidhittleshow.com I have 4 banners on their opposing this health bill, pick one and put it on your website. This bill must fail!!!
To end my blog:

I’ll leave you with this from President Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE

Obama now states: “If you like the Health Insurance you have now; you can keep it.”

Which Obama do you believe???

I'm Sick and tired of the Spending!!!

2009-08-05T11:18:00.000-07:00

I’m so sick and tired of hearing about all this spending that is coming down the pike. First was the Stimulus (Bail-Out Bill) [$769 Billion], and then came the Omnibus [$410 Billion], TARP [$700 Billion], and all the other crap. The House passed the “Cap and Tax”, energy bill. We now have this “Cash for Clunkers” which was $4 billion dollars and now they want to put another $2 billion into it… I’m sick and tired or all the spending. President Obama stated: “I lose sleep at night due to the deficit…” Well stop spending into it then Mr. Obama.

At the end of the Bush administration that National Debt was $10.5 Trillion dollars with our GDP almost $15 Trillion... The National Debt is now $11.7 Trillion and the GDP is falling due to the economic slump. The stimulus package that was passed all $769 Billion or it $1.15 Trillion with interest, was supposed to create jobs, however only 5% of has been spent, and the about 80% of it isn’t to be spend until 2010… Unemployment is at 9.8% and is said to be over 10% as of last month. The time is now not 2010, we need jobs Americans need to work, however I have a feeling that Obama doesn’t care about creating jobs. I believe he wants to turn this country into a Socialist country, and the only way to change it quickly is by destroying the economy we currently have.

Socialism is from the definition in the dictionary: “a form of socialism with a democratic government; the ownership and control of the means of production, capital, land, property, etc., by the community as a whole -- combined with a democratic government.” Point is Socialism is an economic theory that involves the government taking over private industry. One form of socialism already in this country is the Post Office. It is a socialist idea, because of the other industries that compete with it, cannot compete with it. UPS or FedEx cannot compete with the Post Office, because even though the Post Office has massive debt, it cannot go bankrupt as long as the government continues to back it.

Many Americans were afraid that this was the direction of GM (General Motors) when the government bailed it out in 2008. If the government would have continued to hold control over General Motors than Ford Motors would not have been able to compete. This is Socialism; when the government starts to take over private companies. Economists acknowledge this as the beginning of the spread of Socialism. With all of the spending, and with all of the take-over(s) I believe this is what President Barack Obama is planning on doing.

The Health Care bill that the Democrats are attempting to shove down our throats is a very, very Socialist, border-line Communistic bill. The Health Care bill will put every American under a government run Health Insurance system. This will put the government in charge of anything that you need. You want a yearly check-up; the government will tell you if you need one. Need massive surgery the government tells you if you are worthy. If you’re elderly and break a hip, the government can tell you that you have lived along enough. That is not American… We have the best Health Care System in the world why would our government screw it up… Well they know they can get away with “reform” because the prices are high, however the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says that this plan with actually increase prices. This type of Health Care system will go by several names, and the people in charge will find the best one to push the agenda. The one it appears that have choice is the “Single Payer System.” That single payer is the government i.e. you the taxpayer. You will be in charge of paying for everyone’s Health Care including your own.

If you think that this would be a good system lets look at what the government has already taken over. Social Security: $12.9 Trillion in debt (2001), Medicaid: $280 Billion (2001), Medicare Part A: $10.3 Trillion, Medicare Part B: $6.6 Trillion in debt (2001): http://www.ncpa.org/ These are all government programs and there all in debt, also for one last analysis let’s look at the United States Post Office Debt: almost $12 Billion: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/21/AR2009062101785.html

These programs, run by our government are doing nothing but adding more and more to the national debt and it has to stop… The Senate and the House are going into Recess they are coming back to the states go to their town halls, and tell them that Nationalizing Health Care is not the answer, it is too expensive and it must not be allowed. Use Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare as examples, they don’t work and neither with Government-Run Health Care. The Democrats are going to try to pass this bill with only 51 votes in the Senate, if it does pass, this country, you, your parents and your friends will forever be altered by it. But first it must pass the House of Representatives, We Must Not Allow the Government to take over a perfectly good system. STOP THEM NOW, call them, e-mail them, go to a town-hall, go to a tea-party, and tell them what you think. Please for the love of your country, do not sit by and allow them to forever alter the way our country is run.
