A Bill of NON-Rights

Ok, so I didn’t write the following but received it in an email.

“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-wetter’s.

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 fre e 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.(My personal favorite!)

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 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!!!!
