This is probably the best e-mail
I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been
attributed to State Representative
Mitchell Kaye 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 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 o 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 ned,
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 . (This one is my pet peeve
...get an education and go to
work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
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. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the
right to happiness. Being an American
means that youhave 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 do not, who will?
