"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyoneget along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep ournation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings ofdebt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren,hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common senseguidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and otherliberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a wholelot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim theyrequire a Bill of NON-Rights."
--------------------
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or anyother form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, butno one is guaranteeing anything.
------------------------
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country isbased on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! Youmay leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc; butthe 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 ascrewdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the toolmanufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
---------------------------
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americansare the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone inneed, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation aftergeneration of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than thecreation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one ismy 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, you do not have the right to live, you will fry in the electric chair. (Personally, I favor public hanging on pay per view and putting the money towards the national debt.)
--------------------
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If yourob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't besurprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place whereyou 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 youto have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expectyou to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocationaltraining laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
--------------------------
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American meansthat you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a loteasier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws createdby 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 arefrom, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
---------------------------
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 faithat 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!!!!

As a good friend of mine says,
"THAT IS ALL"
