BILL
OF NON RIGHTS
The
following was written by State Representative Mitchell Kaye from Cobb County,
Georgia
We, the sensible
people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore
some semblance of justice, avoid any 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 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 whole lots of people were confused by the Bill of Rights
and are so dim that 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 of 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 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 sill won't have the right to a big-screen color
TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII:
You don't have the right to
demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching
conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you
from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire
world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little
tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX:
You don't have the right to
a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, 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 X:
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.
IF YOU AGREE, WE STRONGLY
URGE YOU TO FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
AND NOTHING TRAGIC WILL BEFALL YOU SHOULD YOU NOT FORWARD IT. WE JUST THINK
IT IS ABOUT TIME COMMON SENSE IS ALLOWED TO FLOURISH. CALL IT THE AGE OF REASON
REVISITED.
THANK YOU.
