non bill of rights

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to helpeveryone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots,keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure theblessingsof debt free liberty to ourselves and ourgreat-great-great-grandchildren,hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common senseguidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and otherliberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that awholelot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim theyrequire a Bill of NON-Rights." ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV,orany other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquirethem, but no one is guaranteeing anything. ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. Thiscountry is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- notjust you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a differentopinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always willbe. ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If youstick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expectthe tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independentlywealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.Americans are the most charitable people to be found and will gladlyhelpanyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizinggenerationafter generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing morethan the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. Thatwouldbe nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interestedinpublic health care. ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm otherpeople. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't besurprised 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 ofothers.If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of othercitizens,don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in aplace where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or alife of leisure. ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us surewantyou to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but weexpect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education andvocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being anAmericanmeans that you have the right to PURSUE happiness which, by the way, isalot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic lawscreated by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care whereyou are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to whereveryoucame from!ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country'shistoryor heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. Andyet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, ornofaith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST ispart 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, andnothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's abouttimecommon sense is allowed to flourish.Sensible people of the United States, speak out because if you don't,insensible people will.
