NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION Body: 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 l iberty 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, and delusional.
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 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!
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?
