We the people of the United
States
"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 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.
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
aid before you to make yourself useful.
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 one true
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!!!!
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have
to, and nothing
tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about
time common
sense is allowed to flourish.
Sensible people of the United States
speak out because
if you don't,
insensible people will.
