|
> 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 if
> it would turn out the same way as current public housing, we're 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 put away for the rest of your sorry life.
>
> 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 America 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!
>
> (and last but not least....)
>
> 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 God. 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!
