A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots by Jeff Foxworthy:???
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but
not for entering and ...remaining in the country illegally — you might
live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or
to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might
live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a
check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not
to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that
was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the
government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun
magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter
jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation
that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the
nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one
24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat —
you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by
idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who
is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the
airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her
neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes
that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend
trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses
but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown
out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual
exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable —
you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by
idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes
and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is
rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized
housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was
founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s
plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not
working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any
requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but
couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage
faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your
neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen
TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults
on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your
Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according
to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
What a country!
How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America!
Amen (thank you Jeff)
