[Interest] The Wrong Rights

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION*

*This is probably the best 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 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 *

*(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 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. 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? *
