NEW PREAMBLE
TO THE CONSTITUTION
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
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. (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. No, you
don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall
you if you don't.
