Bill of No Rights (great stuff)

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from Georgia. The guy should run for president. "We the sensible people of the United States of America, in an attempt to help everyone "just get long", 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 masses... 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, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be and like the rest of us you need to simply learn to deal with it.

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 by telling them they didn?t warn you not to stick the screwdriver in your eye.

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 should be wary of public health care or public anything.

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 (yes, capital punishment/the death sentence).

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, pool tables, weight rooms or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII:

You don?t 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 part time jobs, education and vocational training laid 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?re from. We welcome you here. English is our language and like the one you left behind, we also have a culture. Learn and embrace it or return to the country and living conditions you were fleeing.

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 ? just call it "The Age of Reason Revisited".
