Must read
This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a
long, long time. The following has been attributed
to State Representative Mitchell Aye from GA. This
guy should run for President one day...
"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 liberal 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 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 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
