| BILL OF 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-witted 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.
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 surprise 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 don't 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'd like. However, we do not
enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to
spend so much of our time battling each and every
little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX: You don't have the right to a job.
All of us sure 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 created by those of you who were confused
by the Bill of Rights."
If you agree, we strongly urge you to forward this to
as many people as you can. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you should you not forward
it. We just think it is about time that common sense
is allowed to flourish - call it the age of reason
revisited.
Oh yes one more thing.. ALGORE now has a Governing Legal Authority, its
called the Bush Administration.
