BILL OF NO RIGHTS
We,
the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any 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 bedwetters. 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 that they require a Bill of No 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, espress 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
manufacturer to make you and all of 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 achiieve 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
providing
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, again
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 TV
or a
life of leisiure.
ARTICLE VIII
You do not have the right to demand that our children risk their
lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate
oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from
going to fight if you like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the
entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battlng
each
and every litle tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX
You do not have the right to a job. All of us surely want all of you
to have one 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.
ARTICLE X
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 overabundance of idiotic laws by
those of you who are confused by the Bill of Rights.
IF YOU AGREE, I STRONGLY URGE YOU Send THIS URL TO AS MANY PEOPLE
AS YOU CAN. NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO, AND NOTHING TRAGIC WILL BEFALL
YOU SHOULD YOU NOT FORWARD IT. I JUST THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME COMMON
SENSE IS ALLOWED TO FLOURISH. CALL IT THE AGE OF REASON
REVISITED!
