something you might have read
It's funny how some times you read something and it makes you laugh and then you kind of groan at the end...so yeah laugh and moan with me:
"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more
riots,
keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the
blessings
of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our
great-great-great-grandchildren,
hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense
guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and
other
Liberal bed-wetters.
We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are
confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of
NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I:
You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other
form
of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but No
one
is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II:
You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is Based
on
freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may
leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.;
But
the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III:
You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a
screwdriver
in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool
Manufacturer
to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV:
You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the
most
charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but
we
are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of
professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the Creation
of
another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet
peeve...get an education and go to work .. don't expect everyone else
to
take care of you!)
ARTICLE V:
You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but
from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public
health care.
ARTICLE VI:
You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you
kidnap,
rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the
rest
of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII:
You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob,
cheat,
or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be
surprised
if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you
still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of
leisure.
ARTICLE VIII:
You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a
job,
and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take
advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training
laid
before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX:
You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that
you
have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier
if
you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by
those
of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X:
This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from,
English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
(lastly....)
ARTICLE XI:
You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage.
This country was founded on the belief in God. And yet, you are given
the
freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with
no
fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage
and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!
